About
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, parallel arm, outpatient and inpatient phase 2 clinical study to examine the efficacy and safety of three dose levels of AD036 versus placebo in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Full description
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, parallel arm, outpatient and inpatient, multicenter, dose-finding study of the combination of atomoxetine and oxybutynin in adults with OSA documented by polysomnography (PSG).
Approximately 140 subjects were to be randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive 1 of 3 different fixed-dose combinations of oxybutynin and atomoxetine or matching placebo.
For all subjects, the study consisted of:
-
A screening and baseline period in which subjects' eligibility was determined
-
An initial 2-night, at-home blinded baseline period in which all subjects received placebo
-
A 3-night, run-in period in which subjects received:
- Low-dose combination for subjects randomized to one of the 3 study treatment arms
- Placebo for subjects randomized to the placebo treatment arm
-
A 7-night treatment period in which subjects received the treatment to which they were randomized, i.e., 1 of the 3 different fixed-dose combinations of drugs, or placebo
