Clinical trial for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Official title Pediatric Down Syndrome Post-Approval Study
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06851338
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study aims to see if the Inspire therapy remains safe and effective for young people with Down syndrome who have severe sleep apnea.
- Who it's for
- The study is looking for adolescents and young adults aged 13 to 18 who have Down syndrome and severe sleep apnea.
