About this study
Official title: Experimental Evaluation of cMAP® Therapy Parameters Delivered Through Commercial Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Devices in Adults Using PAP Therapy at Home
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify which settings of proactive therapy work best in OSA patients who regularly adhere to PAP therapy at home. The main question(s) it aims to answer are:
- To assess how different settings of proactive therapy affect therapy effectiveness
- To assess whether proactive therapy works similarly across different PAP devices Participants will undergo conventional APAP therapy and two modes of proactive therapy on two different PAP devices.
Nights in which conventional APAP was used and nights in which proactive therapy was used to see which settings treated patients most effectively.
Read the detailed description
This is a single-arm, single-blinded, non-randomised, within-subject study on patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea who regularly adhere to PAP therapy. Data collection will span 6 to 8 months for each participant at home. Participants will use two of three modified PAP devices for at least 12 weeks each. Each device period is divided into 7-day therapy blocks, starting with conventional APAP therapy (i.e., the participant's regular therapy but on the modified device) to establish a baseline, followed by blocks of proactive therapy, with a repeat APAP block midway. Proactive therapy is delivered in two modes: a) Dynamic cMAP®, where AI predictions guide adjustable therapy settings, and b) Direct cMAP®, where AI sets the therapy pressure directly. Therapy settings may be refined between blocks as data are collected, and pressure is always limited by independent safety limits. Participants will be blinded to the therapy they are receiving. Data will be collected by the modified PAP device and at-home sleep apnea test ring.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Dynamic cMAPDevice
Uses AI to make predictions of future apneic events. A deterministic algorithm uses output predictions to determine pressure.
Direct cMAPDevice
Uses AI to directly determine the therapy pressure to prevent future apneic events
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Proactive Therapy | Experimental | On each of two PAP devices, patients will undergo conventional APAP therapy first, followed by blocks of proactive therapy, with a repeat APAP block midway. Receives: Device: Dynamic cMAP; Device: Direct cMAP |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)
Calculated as the mean number of apnea and hypopnea events throughout the night, in events/hr. AHI= total number of apnea events+ total number of hypopnea events/total sleep time (hours).
Normal: <5 events per hour Mild Sleep Apnea: 5 to 14.9 events per hour Moderate Sleep Apnea: 15 to 29.9 events per hour Severe Sleep Apnea: >30 events per hour
Measured: 6-8 months
Secondary outcomes (3)
Oxygen Saturation
Calculated as the mean blood oxygen saturation throughout the night, in percentage. This is completed by using an FDA approved wearable ring that uses cardiopulmonary coupling for the measurement of blood oxygen saturation.
95-100% is healthy for adults 90%-94% is low/borderline <90% Clinically low/Hypoxemia
Measured: 6-8 months
Sleep quality
Sleep quality is calculated using heart rate variability (HRV), sleep efficiency, and sleep fragmentation which is measured throughout the night. These measurements are calculated by using an FDA approved wearable ring that uses cardiopulmonary coupling, resulting in the measurement of sleep quality.
Sleep quality is measure in percentage.
Measured: 6-8 months
Mask Pressure
Calculated as the mean pressure throughout the night.
Measured: 6-8 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The goal of this clinical trial is to identify which settings of proactive therapy work best in OSA patients who regularly adhere to PAP therapy at home. The main question(s) it aims to answer are:
- To assess how different settings of proactive therapy affect therapy effectiveness
- To assess whether proactive therapy works similarly across different PAP devices Participants will undergo conventional APAP therapy and two modes of proactive therapy on two different PAP devices.
Nights in which conventional APAP was used and nights in which proactive therapy was used to see which settings treated patients most effectively.
