Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of hypoglossal nerve stimulation with the Apnex Medical Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation (HGNS) System as a potential therapeutic option for individuals with moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) that have failed or do not tolerate positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.

Outcome Assessors

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment

The Treatment Arm is implanted with the HGNS System and therapy is turned on at 1 month post-implant.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation (HGNS) System (Apnex Medical )

Intervention Type DEVICE

The HGNS System in an investigational device that includes three implantable components: a neurostimulator, a stimulation lead, and a respiration sensing lead. The HGNS System is designed to activate the muscles in the upper airway to help keep the airway open during sleep. The HGNS System is intended for the treatment of moderate to severe OSA in individuals that have failed or do not tolerate positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.

Control

The Control Arm is implanted with the HGNS System and therapy is turned on at 7 months post-implant.

Group Type OTHER

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation (HGNS) System (Apnex Medical )

Intervention Type DEVICE

The HGNS System in an investigational device that includes three implantable components: a neurostimulator, a stimulation lead, and a respiration sensing lead. The HGNS System is designed to activate the muscles in the upper airway to help keep the airway open during sleep. The HGNS System is intended for the treatment of moderate to severe OSA in individuals that have failed or do not tolerate positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.
