Recruiting
Research Sponsored by Respicardia, Inc.
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Subject with moderate to severe central sleep apnea is undergoing a de novo commercial remedē® System implant procedure or other de novo transvenous cardiac implantable device procedure including a pacemaker or an implantable cardiac defibrillator
Subject is at least 18 years old
Must not have
Subject has had prior oral cavity surgery that may interfere with breathing
Subject has evidence of nerve weakness/paresis/paralysis or a neurologic disorder that involves the tongue
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up during procedure (immediately post-stimulation)
Awards & highlights
No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial tests if a different implant site for a pacemaker/defibrillator affects breathing/airway during the procedure.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with moderate to severe central sleep apnea who are getting a new remedē® System or other cardiac device like a pacemaker. They must be able to consent and not have significant upper airway issues, nerve problems affecting the tongue, prior neck surgery, BMI over 40, unstable health conditions, pregnancy plans, dye allergies that can't be managed, past oral cavity surgeries impacting breathing or use muscle relaxants without approval.
What is being tested?
The Janus Feasibility Study is testing if changing where transvenous leads are placed during implant procedures of devices like the remedē® System affects breathing and airway function in patients with sleep apnea.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the lead placement site, possible respiratory changes due to stimulation adjustments and general risks associated with implant procedures such as infection or bleeding.
