An Early Phase 1 interventional study of Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy with PNS in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, sponsored by Lunair Medical. Recruiting at 1 site in Paraguay. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-03.
Sponsored by Lunair Medical · Early Phase 1, Interventional, and Other
The purpose of this study is to characterize the upper airway of Latin American subjects who have been diagnosed with moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and assess response to a neuromodulation therapy to treat OSA.
2,240 studies on the registry are indexed under Sleep Apnea, Obstructive; 475 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 50 is close to the median of 52 across 1,472 interventional studies indexed under Sleep Apnea, Obstructive.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
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.

Diagnostic Test: Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy with PNS
Enrolled subjects will complete an overnight PSG and then undergo a DISE procedure with a 30-minute research period.
Understand the difference in response compared to prior U.S. based studies to the response in Latin America.
Reviewing phrenic nerve stimulation response to literature of US based population
Time frame: enrollment to study exit, usually within 3 weeks of screening
Use VOTE scoring to characterize the type of upper airway collapse as assessed via DISE.
Upper Airway will be characterized using VOTE scoring as assessed by a qualified, trained Independent Reviewer.
Time frame: enrollment to study exit, usually within 3 weeks of screening
Use VOTE scoring and airway opening measurements to characterize the effect of Phrenic Nerve Stimulation and if it is a viable and effective treatment of OSA and correlation to phenotype.
In combination with VOTE scoring and airway opening measurements, the effects of phrenic nerve stimulation will be compared across treated patient population.
Time frame: enrollment to study exit, usually within 3 weeks of screening
