Weight loss drug for sleep apnea with CPAP
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests an investigational medicine given as an injection to help people with obstructive sleep apnea and a high body mass index (BMI). It may reduce breathing pauses during sleep and support weight loss, all while you continue using your CPAP machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and use a CPAP machine or similar breathing device for at least 3 months.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 28 or higher, and your weight has been steady for the last 3 months.
- You haven't used certain weight-loss or diabetes medications in the past 3 months.
- You don't have diabetes, major heart or stomach problems, or a history of certain cancers or psychiatric conditions.
- You can stick with the study plan and use effective birth control if you or your partner can get pregnant.

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.
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 trial tests an investigational drug called XW003 to see if it helps people with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea who are already using a positive airway pressure (PAP) machine, like CPAP. It aims to improve weight loss and 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 trial tests an investigational weekly injection called XW003 for weight loss in people who have obesity and moderate-to-severe sleep apnea but do not use a CPAP machine. It aims to see if the drug can help with weight loss and improve sleep apnea without the need for a breathing machine.
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.
