A Trial to Learn More About How Well BAY2586116 Works and How Safe it is in Participants With Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea — SPRAY-SMART  

Sleep Apnea, Obstructive Clinical Trial

Official title: Proof-of-concept, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Two-way Crossover Study to Investigate the Effect Strength of BAY 2586116 on the Apnea-hypopnea-index After Repetitive Nasal Doses Compared to Placebo in 80 Valid Participants With Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In people with OSA, the upper airways can narrow or close repetitively while sleeping. These breathing interruptions lead to reduction of oxygen in the blood or short arousals from sleep. Before a treatment can be approved for people to take, researchers do clinical trials to better understand its safety and how well it works. In this trial, the researchers want to learn more about how well BAY2586116 works in a small number of participants with OSA. The trial will include about 160 men and women who have OSA and are at least 18 years old. Women can only be included in this trial if they are not able to have children naturally. In this trial, the participants will take BAY2586116 and a placebo. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. All of the participants will take BAY2586116 through a nasal spray. They will also take the placebo as a nasal spray. This will be a crossover trial. This means all the participants will take both trial treatments one after the other, but in a different order. The participants will take each treatment once a day for 7 days. The researchers will use a measurement called the apnea-hypopnea-index (AHI) to measure the severity of the participants' OSA. The researchers will then compare the participants' AHI scores when they take BAY2586116 and when they take the placebo. During study, the participants will visit their trial site 5 times. At these visits the doctors will take blood samples, do physical examinations and check the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG). They will also ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and if they have any medical problems. At 3 of the visits, the participants will stay at the trial site overnight. At these visits, the doctors will calculate the number of times the participants stop breathing per hour of sleep. After treatment, the participants will have a final visit 7 days later so the doctors can check their health.
