LITTLETON, Colo. – Vivos Therapeutics, a medical technology company focused on developing treatments for patients suffering from mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea and snoring in adults, announced that its flagship daytime-nighttime appliance (DNA) will be tested in a clinical trial at Stanford Medicine. “We are extremely excited to be starting this trial at Stanford Medicine, which has been in the works for some time” said R. Kirk Huntsman, chairman and CEO of Vivos. “I am confident that our technology will bear the scrutiny of a well-designed, prospective clinical trial. There is no better place to for our technology to undergo rigorous scientific testing than at a respected institution like Stanford. Our treatment is comfortable, safe and non-invasive, and we believe that at the end of this study, the conclusion will be that Vivos should become an essential part of every OSA care plan.” The protocol has been finalized and participant enrollment will begin in early 2024. Study participants with moderate to severe OSA will be randomly assigned to either treatment with Vivos’ DNA appliance or CPAP therapy, the current industry standard for OSA treatment. Sleep studies will be performed prior to and following a course of treatment using in-lab polysomnography to assess changes in the patients’ apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
