But as many patients will attest, CPAP is often uncomfortable and can make it difficult to sleep both for the patient and bedpartner. A number of researchers, including Andrew Wellman and his colleagues at Brigham and Women\u2019s, have sought to go beyond CPAP by developing drug treatments for OSA. A number of drugs have been tried, with no success, until recently, Andrew and his colleague Luigi Taranto, tried a combination of atomoxetine (Strattera) and oxybutynin (Ditropan). The results were surprising and dramatic; almost all the patients improved significantly. These results led to the formation of Apnimed, Inc., a company created to test the results of atomoxetine and oxybutynin in a larger number of patients.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cPhase 2\u201d trial of these drugs is now in progress at 12 centers across the U.S. Patients who are 25-65 years of age (up to 70 for women) and have been diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA may be eligible for treatment of 10 days.
