Sleep apnea plus COPD study to check heart and breathing effects
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 79 years old
- You have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (not fully treated) and/or COPD confirmed by lung tests
- You must be on stable breathing-related medications for your lung specialist to review
- If you are female, you must be postmenopausal (not able to become pregnant)
- You must not be medically unstable and must not have certain other lung or serious health conditions
- You must not already be using continuous oxygen for COPD or PAP for sleep apnea

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce acute COPD flare-ups in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help by improving breathing during sleep and lowering the chance of worsening lung symptoms.
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
This study tests two different ways to help people breathe better during sleep. If you were recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), this trial may help you find which device works best for your condition.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking skills and overall health in older veterans who also have COPD. It may help researchers understand what changes to target to improve daytime functioning and wellbeing.
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 checks how ResMed CPAP mask systems work in real-life use for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help improve comfort, fit, and performance based on what patients experience over time.
