AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have limited efficacy and poor patient compliance, and existing pharmacologic approaches using intranasal potassium channel blockers have shown mixed results.

Method used

Development of pharmaceutical compositions comprising the potassium channel blocker AVE-118, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, combined with a mucoadhesive polymer for intranasal administration, which allows effective treatment of OSA by reducing upper airway collapsibility.

Benefits of technology

The use of microparticulate suspensions of AVE-118 with mucoadhesive polymers provides sustained efficacy in reducing upper airway collapsibility, even after nasal lavage, offering a potential new therapy for OSA.
