Statement of Need

Stimulants are often used to manage persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-related excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), yet sleepiness often persists in conjunction with safety concerns associated with the use of stimulants, particularly in patients with medical comorbidities. Nonstimulant therapies have emerged to offer sustained long-term efficacy with favorable safety and tolerability profiles. Yet, clinicians are often challenged in identifying best practices to apply clinical trial updates to practice, particularly in complex patients. Data continue to emerge on the safety and efficacy of nonstimulants in reducing the burden of OSA-related EDS. Therefore, clinicians need to be aware of these clinical updates in order to develop personalized treatment plans to optimize patient outcomes.

Join Dr. Bogan in this third and final installment of a case-based CMEO BriefCase series on OSA-related EDS as he translates data from recent clinical trials to optimize treatment decision-making.
