Study of body fat in people with obstructive sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how body fat (“adipose tissue”) may differ in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may be asked for consent and could be asked to stop certain medicines short-term so researchers can take a safe fat sample.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have obstructive sleep apnea
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or less
- You do not currently smoke or use tobacco
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not plan to become pregnant
- You can give written informed consent
- You have certain lab and health exclusions (no active cancer or kidney disease, and no anemia)

This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
This study tests an investigational injection for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops during sleep) in people who are overweight or have obesity. The treatment may help reduce sleep apnea events and improve sleep quality.
This study is looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
This study checks how stopping CPAP treatment for a short time affects glucose levels in people with sleep apnea who do not have diabetes. It may help find out if sleep apnea is linked to blood sugar problems.
This study tests an investigational medicine (HDM1005) for people who have both obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (where breathing stops during sleep) and who already use a CPAP machine. The goal is to see if the medicine can reduce breathing pauses and improve sleep quality compared to a placebo.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery may change body fat and body shape in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who use CPAP. It aims to understand what may improve when sleep apnea is better controlled after surgery.
