Study of an SGLT2 pill for sleep apnea in overweight adults
This study tests whether taking an SGLT2 inhibitor pill (bexagliflozin) can improve obstructive sleep apnea and related body measurements. It focuses on people who are overweight or obese and have confirmed obstructive sleep apnea.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04471740Recruiting
Study of hydrocephalus and sleep apnea
This study looks at people who may have normal-pressure hydrocephalus (fluid-related swelling in the brain) and also focuses on sleep apnea. It may help researchers understand whether treating or studying sleep issues could improve symptoms related to this condition.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07121452Recruiting
Telehealth vs. standard care for sleep apnea in military families
This study compares a telehealth sleep-apnea program to standard care for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who are referred to private doctors in the TRICARE network. It aims to see if telehealth is just as effective and more convenient for military families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–64 - NCT06578390Recruiting
Testing a smartphone app for sleep apnea diagnosis
This trial tests whether a smartphone app (Apneal®) can accurately diagnose sleep apnea during a routine sleep study. If you are already going to have a sleep study, you may be able to help test this device.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06047496RecruitingEarly Phase 1

This study tests whether limiting your eating to a shorter daily window can improve health in people with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You would eat all your meals within a set number of hours each day while tracking your progress on your smartphone.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT07743892Recruiting
Sleep apnea and body awareness study
This study looks at how people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) sense and understand their bodies, which may help improve treatment. If you have been diagnosed with OSA, you might be able to join.
KarabükAges 18–65 - NCT07369011RecruitingPhase 3
Study of eloralintide for sleep apnea with obesity
This study tests an investigational medication called eloralintide to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people who are overweight or have obesity. You will receive either the study drug or a placebo (inactive shot), and your sleep and weight will be monitored over time.
Cullman, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06848647Recruiting
Treating sleep apnea to improve metabolism
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with CPAP improves your body's metabolism (how your body uses energy). It's for people who have sleep apnea and are about to start CPAP therapy.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07191314Recruiting
Long-term study of a nasal airway for sleep apnea
This study is for people who already finished a previous study using a device called a nasopharyngeal airway (a small tube placed in the nose to help with breathing during sleep). It will check how well the device works over a longer time.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06974851RecruitingPhase 3
Study of HRS9531 for sleep apnea and obesity
This trial tests an injectable medication (HRS9531) to see if it helps people with both obstructive sleep apnea and obesity. It compares the drug to a placebo (no active medicine) to check safety and effectiveness.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06931028RecruitingPhase 3
Study of IBI362 for sleep apnea with obesity
This study tests an investigational medication (IBI362) to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people with obesity. You might qualify if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and a BMI of 28 or higher, whether or not you currently use a CPAP machine.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07785999Recruiting
Wearable ring sensor for diagnosing sleep apnea in adults
This study tests whether a wearable ring sensor can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops during sleep) compared to the standard in-lab sleep test. If you have suspected sleep apnea and are generally healthy, this study might help you get a simpler and more convenient diagnosis.
Pantai Valley, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT04659291Recruiting
Studying people in Hong Kong who may have sleep apnea
This study looks at people who may have obstructive sleep apnea, a breathing problem during sleep. It aims to better understand the condition in Hong Kong and what to do next for diagnosis or care.
Hong Kong, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - NCT06283095Recruiting
Expanding the palate to help sleep apnea
This surgery expands the palate to treat obstructive sleep apnea caused by a narrow upper airway. It may help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have a specific type of airway collapse seen on a sleep-endoscopy test.
AsyutAges 18–70 - NCT06103630Recruiting
Mouth exercises for sleep apnea with mouthguard therapy
This study tests whether specific mouth and throat exercises can help people with sleep apnea who already use a mandibular advancement device (a type of mouthguard). The goal is to see if adding exercises improves sleep and breathing.
TainanAges 20 years+ - NCT06608888Recruiting
Brain chemical study for sleep apnea and snoring
This study looks at how a brain chemical called 5-HT7 affects sleep apnea by testing different groups: people with sleep apnea, people who snore, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find new ways to help regulate breathing during sleep.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–60 - NCT07603583Recruiting
Heart Rate Variability to Detect Sleep Apnea in Hypertension
This study tests whether a simple heart-rate measurement can help detect obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find an easier way to screen for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed but can worsen heart health.
Kaohsiung City, KaohsiungAges 18–65 - NCT07464262Recruiting
Telemonitoring with CPAP for severe sleep apnea patients
This trial tests whether telemonitoring (checking in remotely) helps people with severe sleep apnea adjust to CPAP therapy. If you live in São Paulo and recently started CPAP, this study may help you get extra support.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT07447011Recruiting
Glaucoma treatment response with sleep apnea lifestyle changes
This trial tests whether lifestyle changes can help open-angle glaucoma in people who also have obstructive sleep apnea and are obese. It may offer a non-drug way to manage both conditions.

Sleep apnea plus COPD study to check heart and breathing effects
This Phase 2 study looks at the cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) effects of having both sleep apnea and COPD. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to manage these breathing problems together.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sleep apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 330 recruiting sleep apnea studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a sleep apnea trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a sleep apnea trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
