Testing a new breathing support choice for central sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at which settings to use for adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV), a machine that helps breathing during sleep. It is meant for people with central sleep apnea who are not getting enough benefit from CPAP, so ASV may be a better match.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have central sleep apnea (breathing pauses due to the brain not sending signals properly).
- You have tried CPAP and it has not worked well for you.
- A sleep specialist has decided you need ASV treatment.
- You must be 18 years old or older.

This study tests alternative treatments for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP. It aims to find more tolerable options.
This trial tests a new type of breathing therapy (ASV) for people with insomnia. It looks at whether the therapy can help you fall asleep and stay asleep better.
This trial tests whether starting a breathing-support treatment soon after a first stroke improves outcomes in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help reduce complications and support recovery if you meet the specific timing and health criteria.
This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
This study evaluates a new APAP (automatic positive airway pressure) device called Elara for treating obstructive sleep apnea. You'll use the device and have sleep monitoring to see how well it works for you.
This study tests a new, smarter way for your CPAP machine to automatically adjust air pressure while you sleep. If you have a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 and have been using it for a few months, you may be eligible.
