Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) can make getting a good night’s sleep challenging, affecting your overall well-being.
We understand how difficult this can be, and we’re here to help.
Taking part in the ARCTIC-3 Study is completely free, and participants may be eligible to receive up to $2,925 for participation in the entire duration of the study. You do not need health insurance to join the study.
We’re currently looking for participants to join a clinical study exploring a new minimally invasive procedure with no mask or implant to treat moderate to severe OSA.
If you or someone you care about is living with OSA, this could be an opportunity to be part of a study focused on improving quality of life for people just like you.
You may be eligible to participate in the Arctic-3 Study if you:
- Are between the ages of 22-70 years old
- Suffer from moderate to severe OSA
- Have a BMI under 40 kg/m2*
* If you are 5’5” and weigh 240lbs or 6’0” and weigh 300lbs, your BMI is 40 kg/m2.
Additionally, reimbursement may be available for study-related travel and transportation expenses. All study-related care, including the minimally invasive medical procedure, will be provided at no cost by skilled and experienced medical professionals.

What happens if I fill out the pre-screening questionnaire?
If you pass the initial study screener, we will match you to a study location in your area that needs volunteers with Obstructive Sleep Apnea or notify you when one becomes available. If there is not a current study for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in your area, a Patient Engagement Specialist may reach out to you in the future via the email address or phone number (call or text) you provided to share information about new study opportunities you may qualify for.
Keep in mind that participation is entirely voluntary. If you decide to take part in a study, you may change your mind about participating at any time.
AboutObstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. These obstructions lead to pauses in breathing, often accompanied by reductions in blood oxygen levels and disruptions in sleep patterns.1
Early recognition and treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea are essential for improving symptoms, reducing complications, and enhancing overall quality of life. Individuals who suspect they may have Obstructive Sleep Apnea should seek help.2
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a research study?
A research study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study that helps to answer important questions about an investigational drug or procedure – these may include how well an investigational study drug or procedure works for a certain condition. All medications and procedures must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved for patients.
Why are research studies important?
A research study is the process by which new and innovative medications, interventions and treatments are approved and brought to market, so people can live happier and healthier lives. Even over-the-counter medications, such as NSAIDs, you may have used to counteract a headache, have gone through the clinical research study process before it was available at your local pharmacy.
What else do I need to consider?
The research team will be able to explain more about what the Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Study will involve, and it is up to you to decide if you want to take part. Participation in this study is voluntary. Whether or not you decide to participate in this study will not affect your current or future relationships with your doctors. If you decide to participate, you are free to withdraw at any time without affecting those relationships.
How far is the research center?
We will match you to a research center within a close travel distance from your home. If we are not running the study in your area currently, with your permission, we will keep you in our database and reach out once a study in your area becomes available. If, at any time, you decided you no longer want your information stored, you can opt out and we will delete your details.
