Inclusion Criteria:
* AHI ≥ 15 on polysomnography at day 1 before randomization.
* BMI ≥ 27 kg/m\^2 at screening.
* History of at least 1 unsuccessful attempt at weight loss by diet and exercise.
* On positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for at least 3 consecutive months before screening and plan to continue PAP therapy during the trial.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Had any previous or planned upper airway surgery or major ear, nose, or throat surgery for OSA.
* Significant craniofacial abnormalities that may affect breathing at screening.
* Diagnosis of Central or Mixed Sleep Apnea with proportion of mixed or central apneas/hypopneas ≥ 50%, and/or diagnosis of Cheyne Stokes Respiration.
* Active device treatment of OSA other than PAP therapy (eg, oral appliances), or other treatments, that in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with study outcomes.
* Respiratory diseases such as obesity hypoventilation syndrome or daytime hypercapnia, or neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis or other conditions that could interfere with the results of the trial in the opinion of the investigator.
* Have personal circumstances or job-related responsibilities that prevent a 7-day PAP withdrawal before polysomnography testing during the course of the trial.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
