About this trial

The study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GZR18 injection in Chinese adult obese patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are currently using positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. This study will assess the impact of GZR18 on OSA-related symptoms, respiratory parameters, and quality of life compared to placebo.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subject is aged ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form.

Body mass index (BMI) is ≥28 kg/m² at both screening and randomization.

Subject has a documented history of at least one unsuccessful attempt at weight loss through dietary control prior to screening, and has had <5% change in body weight during the 12 weeks prior to screening (see Appendix 2 for the weight change calculation formula).

Subject has been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, 3rd Edition (ICSD-3) criteria prior to screening, and has a centrally assessed apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events/hour on polysomnography (PSG) at screening. (See Appendix 3 for ICSD-3 diagnostic criteria for adult OSA.)

Disqualifiers

Known or suspected hypersensitivity to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) or any of their excipients, or presence of a contraindication to GLP-1 RA use.

History of any type of diabetes mellitus (history of gestational diabetes is permitted).

Has undergone or plans to undergo during the study period surgical or device-based obesity treatment (exceptions: acupuncture, liposuction, or abdominal fat removal performed >1 year prior to screening; prior device-based obesity treatment is acceptable if the device was removed >1 year before screening).

Secondary obesity due to disease, medication, or other causes (e.g., Cushing's syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, monogenic obesity, or obesity secondary to hypothalamic/pituitary injury).
