Study summary

This study is designed to determine whether subjects who were responders to cNEP during an overnight sleep lab titration in a previous clinical trial, Study SOM-012, will maintain a response throughout the night for up to two weeks in a home setting. It will also be determined whether two weeks of home use of cNEP is associated with any adverse events.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Reduction in baseline apnea hypopnea index from baseline

    Reduction in apnea hypopnea index (AHI) from the baseline value of \>50% and also \<15/hr

    Time frame: End of Week 2 of home use

Secondary outcomes

  1. Collection of adverse events

    Collection of adverse events

    Time frame: two week study period

  2. Apnea hypopnea index, as measured by home sleep testing

    Comparison of AHI from home sleep testing in this study to those of the polysomnogram (PSG) in SOM-012

    Time frame: two weeks

Other outcomes

  1. Clinical global impression of cNEP experience

    Assessment of the tolerability of cNEP to the subject via a clinical global impression scale

    Time frame: end of week two of home use

  2. Bed partner's views of cNEP via a clinical global impression scale

    Determination of the bed partner's views of the subject using cNEP in the home setting using a clinical global impression scale

    Time frame: end of two weeks of home use
