Eloralintide for people with obstructive sleep apnea who are overweight or obese

Official title: A Master Protocol for Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Studies to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Once Weekly Eloralintide in Adult Participants With Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and Obesity or Overweight

Run by Eli Lilly and Company · NCT07369011 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study will test whether the drug eloralintide helps adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who are overweight or obese, whether they use PAP therapy or not.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with confirmed moderate-to-severe OSA (AHI ≥15), a BMI ≥27 kg/m2, stable recent weight, and either unable or unwilling to use PAP or currently using PAP for at least three months are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

People with mild OSA (AHI <15), recent major weight change, prior or planned bariatric or certain device-based obesity procedures, or prior/planned surgery for sleep apnea are unlikely to qualify or benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 3 master protocol (YDAO) enrolls adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea and a BMI of at least 27 kg/m2 and assigns them to an intervention-specific appendix based on their current PAP use (YSA1 for those not using PAP and YSA2 for those on PAP). Participants are randomized to receive eloralintide or placebo and are followed with regular visits and monitoring over about 76 weeks. Key entry requirements include an AHI ≥15 on study polysomnography and stable weight for the prior 90 days. Safety and treatment effects on sleep apnea and related outcomes are monitored throughout the treatment period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, eloralintide could reduce sleep apnea severity and support weight loss in adults with moderate-to-severe OSA who are overweight or obese.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies of weight-loss medications have shown improvements in OSA, but eloralintide as a specific agent is newer and large phase 3 evidence for this drug is limited.
