ProSomnus to Design Head-to-Head Clinical Trial vs. Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation
13 July 2023 - 10:00PM
ProSomnus, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSA), a leading CPAP alternative for the
treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), announced plans to
design a head-to-head clinical trial comparing its precision oral
appliance therapy (OAT) and hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) in
treating patients with severe OSA.
The clinical trial plans follow updated results
from the First Line Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment Study
(FLOSAT), a prospective, independent, head-to-head, crossover study
comparing the effectiveness of precision OAT and CPAP among
patients with moderate to severe OSA. The updated, preliminary data
demonstrated that precision OAT was highly effective and
non-inferior to CPAP as a first-line therapy for patients with
moderate and severe OSA, even without the benefit of additional
future titrations. The data were recently presented at the Royal
Society of Medicine’s Sleep Symposium in London.
An additional and potentially important
observation from the preliminary FLOSAT data is the performance of
precision OAT devices for severe OSA patients relative to the
results published for HNS. Using the same criteria for efficacy –
an AHI < 20 and a 50% improvement – 79% of exclusively severe
OSA patients were successfully treated with non-invasive precision
OAT devices, while the STAR trial reported 66% of patients with
moderate to severe OSA were successfully treated using a surgically
implanted HNS device, even with the exclusion of concentric
collapse patients. Further, secondary analysis indicates that
precision oral devices are associated with lower rates of adverse
events and lower total treatment costs than HNS. Based on these
findings, ProSomnus intends to design a head-to-head clinical trial
comparing precision OAT and HNS. More information will be available
on ProSomnus’s previously announced second quarter 2023 investor
call, scheduled for Thursday, August 3 at 5:30 am PT / 8:30 am
ET.
About FLOSATDesigned and
conducted by The Antwerp University Hospital (UZA), the primary
endpoints of FLOSAT are to evaluate the overall effectiveness of
OAT as a first-line treatment for OSA, compare the overall
effectiveness of OAT with that of CPAP and evaluate patients’
preference. ProSomnus devices are being used exclusively for the
precision OAT arm of the study. A total of 136 patients enrolled in
FLOSAT, all with moderate to severe OSA, body mass index less than
35 kg/m2, and central AHI less than 30% of total AHI, and all of
whom had not received any previous OSA therapy and were eligible
for OAT. After completing three months of first-line treatment with
OAT followed by three months of CPAP, participants are asked which
therapy they prefer. More information can be found at
www.ClinicalTrials.gov using the identifier NCT05393531.
