Comparing two sleep apnea treatments before weight-loss surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of sleep apnea devices (CPAP and APAP) to see which works better for people with obesity who are waiting for bariatric surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage sleep apnea before and after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old
- You must have obesity with a BMI of 35 or higher, or a BMI of 30 or higher with related health problems
- You must have moderate to severe sleep apnea (more than 15 breathing pauses per hour during sleep)
- You must be on the waiting list for bariatric surgery at the study hospital
- You must be able to read and understand the study information and give your permission

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.
This study compares two different continuous positive airway pressure (PAP) machines, the KPAP and the ResMed AirSense 11 with EPR, to see if one works better for treating obstructive sleep apnea. If you're already using a PAP machine, you may be able to join and help find out if a newer device improves your therapy.
This study tests whether a new injectable medicine called NNC0487-0111 helps people with excess weight and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep) lose weight and improve their sleep apnea—without needing a CPAP machine. The goal is to see if better weight loss can reduce sleep apnea symptoms.
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.
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 injectable medicine (NNC0487-0111) to help people lose weight and improve obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep). You must already be using a CPAP machine (positive airway pressure device) for your sleep apnea.
