Obesity, Overweight, Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Brief summary

This study is being done to look at the efficacy and safety of NNC0487-0111 in participants with overweight or obesity, and obstructive sleep apnoea treated with positive airway pressure. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get NNC0487-0111, (the treatment being tested) or Placebo (a treatment that has no active medicine in it) and which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

Interventions

NNC0487-0111 will be administered subcutaneously using PDS290 pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.

Placebo matched to NNC0487-0111 will be administered subcutaneously using PDS290 pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female (sex at birth) * Age 18 years or above at the time of signing informed consent * Previously diagnosed moderate-to-severe OSA with an AHI ≥ 15, as diagnosed with polysomnography (PSG), home sleep apnoea test (HSAT), or other method that meets local guidelines prior to screening Key

Exclusion criteria

* Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) as measured by the central laboratory at screening * History of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus as declared by the participant or reported in the medical records * Any planned or previous surgery within 90 days prior to screening for sleep apnoea, including septoplasty, turbinoplasty, or other ear, nose, and throat surgeries, including tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy * Significant craniofacial abnormalities that may affect breathing at baseline, for example Treacher Collins syndrome and Pierre Robin Sequence * Treatment with glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA), dual GLP-1/gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) RAs (or any other GLP-1 based treatment) or amylin analogues before screening

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Relative change in body weightFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as percentage (%) change in body weight.
Change in apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as events/hour.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Relative change in AHIFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as percentage change in AHI.
Achievement of 50% reduction in AHI (Yes/No)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as number of participant.
Achievement of: AHI less than (<) 5From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as number of participants.
Achievement of: AHI 5-14 with Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) ≤ 10 (Yes/No)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as number of participants.
Change in sleep apnoea specific hypoxic burden (SASHB)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)measured as %min/h (percentage minutes per hour).
Change in ESS scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as score on a scale. ESS measures the level of daytime sleepiness or average sleep propensity. The measure consists of 8 items yielding one total score. Total score ranges from 0-24. Higher scores indicate higher sleepiness or average sleep propensity in daily life.
Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form v1.0 Sleep-Related Impairment 8a scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as score on a scale. PROMIS-SRI measures perceptions of alertness, sleepiness, and tiredness during usual waking hours, and the perceived functional impairments during wakeful-ness associated with sleep problems or impaired alertness. The measure consists of 8 items each rated on a 5-point scale ranging from "not at all" to "very much". Individual item scores will be combined and converted to a T-score using a response pattern scoring approach. The T-score standardises the raw score to a distribution with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Total score (T-score range): Sleep-related impairment (ranging approximately from 30-80.1). Higher scores indicate more sleep-related impairment.
Change in PROMIS Short Form v1.0 Sleep Disturbance 8b scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as score on a scale. PROMIS-SD measures perceptions of sleep quality, sleep depth, and restoration associated with sleep. The measure consists of 8 items each rated on a 5-point scale ranging from "not at all" to "very much," "never" to "always," or "very poor" to "very good". Individual item scores will be combined and converted to a T-score using a response pattern scoring approach. The T-score standardises the raw score to a distribution with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Total score (T-score range): Sleep disturbance (ranging approximately from 30-80.1). Higher scores indicate more sleep disturbance.
Change in body weightFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as kilogram (Kg).
Change in body mass index (BMI)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as kilograms per meter square (kg/m\^2).
Improvement in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity category: AHI < 5/hour = normal (Yes/No)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as number of participants.
Improvement in OSA severity category: ≥ 5 and < 15/hour = mild (Yes/No)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as number of participants.
Improvement in OSA severity category: ≥ 15 and < 30/hour = moderate (Yes/No)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as number of participants.
Improvement in OSA severity category: ≥ 30/hour = severe (Yes/No)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as number of participants.
Withdrawal of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy (Yes/No)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as number of participants.
Change in waist circumferenceFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as centimetre (cm).
Change in neck circumferenceFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as cm.
Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as millimetre of mercury (mmHg).
Change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as mmHg.
Change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as ratio to baseline.
Change in Total cholesterolFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as ratio to baseline.
Change in High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterolFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as ratio to baseline.
Change in Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterolFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as ratio to baseline.
Change in Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterolFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as ratio to baseline.
Change in Non-HDL cholesterolFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as ratio to baseline.
Change in TriglyceridesFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as ratio to baseline.
Change in fasting plasma glucoseFrom baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as millimoles per litre (mmol/L).
Change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)From baseline (week 0) to (week 80)Measured as percentage (%) of HbA1c.
Number of Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)From baseline (week 0) to week 84Measured as events.
Number of Treatment emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs)From baseline (week 0) to week 84Measured as Events.
Number of TEAEs leading to permanent treatment discontinuationFrom baseline (week 0) to week 84Measured as events.
