Study Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of sivopixant, acetazolamide and SASS-001 in adults with sleep apnea with a central component.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • OSA measures

  • Average oxygen desaturation index 4 (ODI4) ≥ 7 and < 55 events/h and averageSpO2≥88% during sleep from continuous home pulse oximetry recordings at screening

  • AHI4 of > 10 to <60 events/h

  • Patients currently using PAP will be eligible for inclusion in the study if:

  • Non-compliant to CPAP (less than 4 hr/night for 5 days/week) and they expresswillingness to discontinue treatment for a minimum of 7 days before the baselineSpO2 assessments

  • Patients who discontinued PAP

  • Naïve to PAP

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Sustained SpO2<93% during wakefulness or mean SpO2<88% during sleep, calculated fromPSG at screening

  • Dyspnea at rest or patients with heart failure class IV NYHA

  • Blood pressure <90/50 mmHg or >160/100 mmHg at V1

  • Recent (<3 months) episode of acute myocardial infarction or acute decompensatedheart failure

  • History of stroke

  • History of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias or other severe arrhythmiaswithout defibrillator implanted

  • Heart failure primarily caused by valvular, post-partum cardiomyopathy or activemyocarditis

  • History of obesity-hypoventilation syndrome or respiratory disturbance due toopioids

  • History of bronchiectasis and uncontrolled asthma

  • History of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a forced expiratoryvolume in 1 second (FEV1) <50% of predicted (European Respiratory Society criteria)

  • Started treatment with β-blockers <3 months before the study. Patients not taking β-blockers or taking β-blockers for >3 months can be enrolled.

  • Narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome requiring medication, REM sleep behavior disorder

  • Pronounced anatomical abnormalities of upper airway (adenoid vegetations, grade ≥3tonsillar hypertrophy, etc.), pronounced micrognathia, or pronounced incompletedevelopment of the lower jaw

  • Clinically significant cognitive dysfunction as determined by investigator.

  • Women who are pregnant or nursing

  • Participants with reduced sodium and/or potassium blood serum levels

  • Participants with suprarenal gland failure

  • Participants with hyperchloremic acidosis

  • Participants with a history of using devices for OSA treatment, including CPAP, oralor nasal devices, or positional devices, may enroll as long as the devices have notbeen used for at least 1 week prior to first PSG and are not used duringparticipation in the study (through V7). Patients that are non-compliant to CPAP (less than 4hr/night for 5 days/week) can be enrolled, as well as patients who arenaïve to PAP and patients who discontinued PAP previously. PAP compliant patientscannot be enrolled.

  • Other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (zonisamide, topiramate, etc)

  • Lithium

  • Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply
