Study summary

Pivotal clinical trial, multicenter of superiority, randomized, double-blind, parallel groups, placebo-controlled and use of nasal lubricant on snoring.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed for the improvement of snoring, characterized by a noise caused by the vibration of tissues obstructing the nasopharynx and oropharynx during sleep.

It is performed in participants of both sexes, over 18 years of age, who complain of snoring.

The rationale for studying the use of a medical device with nasal spray solution for snoring improvement is due to the fact that surface tension in the pharyngeal mucosa plays an important role in determining airway collapsibility.

Inclusion criteria

  • Have signed the form;
  • Participants of both genders aged ≥ 18 years;
  • Report of snoring assessed objectively through the standardized criteria in the snoring noise domain in the Berlin questionnaire;

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of allergy or to the components of the nasal lubricant;
  • Fixed nasal obstruction;
  • Upper Airway Infections active or present for less than 7 days;
  • Use of benzodiazepines and sleep inducing drugs;
  • Under treatment for sleep apnea of any modality currently or within the past 6 months;

  • illness or surgery, at the discretion of the principal investigator, within 30 days prior to study inclusion;
  • History of chemical dependence or alcohol abuse;
  • Any neurological and psychiatric disease or significant laboratory finding present, unless adequately controlled with medication allowed in the protocol;
  • Patients with laboratory tests of , SGTP or CPK increased by at least two times the upper value of normal at the time of study inclusion;

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The effect of nasal lubricant in the improvement of snoring when compared to placebo.

    For the primary endpoint, the level of continuous noise equivalent to the sound produced during sleep - LAeqT (equivalent-continuous sound pressure level), in dB(A), with a frequency filter in the weighting (sound level meter - Fusion SLM®) will be evaluated.

    Time frame: 30 days of medical device use

Secondary outcomes

  1. The effect of nasal lubricant on snoring reduction during polysomnography

    Qualitative noise evaluation through standardized algorithm with maximum noise peak (in dB), evaluated by Fusion SLM® sound level meter; Evaluation of oximetry, through Biologix®

    Time frame: 30 days of medical device use

  2. Nasal lubricant on snoring reduction during polysomnography

    Quantitative noise evaluation through standardized algorithm with maximum noise peak (in dB), evaluated by Fusion SLM® sound level meter; Evaluation of oximetry, through Biologix®

    Time frame: 30 days of medical device use

  3. Perception of snoring reduction by the partner

    Questioning during medical consultation

    Time frame: 30 days of medical device use

  4. The effect of nasal lubricant on apnea observed on polysomnography

    Apnea and hypopnea index

    Time frame: 30 days of medical device use

  5. The effect of nasal lubricant on sleep quality using the standardized daytime sleepiness assessment questionnaire

    Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) measures the chance of dozing on a scale of 0 to 3, 0 being no chance and 3 being a great chance.

    Time frame: 30 days of medical device use

  6. The effect of nasal lubricant on sleep quality using the standardized Sleep Apnea Quality Life Index (SAQLI) questionnaire

    Time frame: 30 days of medical device use

  7. The effect of nasal lubricant on sleep quality using the Berlin Questionnaire / STOP-BANG Questionnaire

    Time frame: 30 days of medical device use

  8. The effect of nasal lubricant on oximetry, in residence using Biologix®.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 30 days

  9. The effect of nasal lubricant on snoring index, in residence using Biologix®.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 30 days

Other outcomes

  1. Adverse event rate, evaluated from questioning or spontaneous reporting of serious and non-severe adverse events and findings on clinical examinations.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 30 days

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2022, 7 months after the start.

Of 45 interventional studies with no phase under Snoring, half reached primary completion within 20 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 31. This study's planned 7 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 19, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
