Orforglipron for treating moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in overweight or obese adults: Study design and starting patient data from a phase 3 trial

Updated

Abstract

ATTAIN-OSA evaluates the efficacy and safety of orforglipron for treating moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea.

  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent but current treatment options are limited.
  • Poor adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy poses challenges for patients.
  • Injectable therapies may present barriers that affect accessibility and long-term use.
  • Tirzepatide has shown potential in improving OSA severity but is administered by injection.
  • Orforglipron is a daily oral medication that may provide a more feasible treatment option for OSA.
