Study Summary

This is an open label, controlled study. The investigators are studying if the FDA approved diabetes medicine liraglutide (Victoza®) can improve sleep apnea in adults. This study is testing liraglutide in 20 adults without diabetes that are diagnosed with sleep apnea.The treatment group will be compared to a control group of 10 adults without diabetes who have sleep apnea but will not use liraglutide. Both groups will continue receiving standard of care for their sleep apnea as prescribed by their managing sleep physician throughout their study participation. Everyone in the study will have two study visits and one overnight sleep study for research. Subjects who have not had a recent sleep study but otherwise qualify for the study, will have an additional research sleep study to determine the baseline severity of their sleep apnea. The study visits include fasting blood samples and breathing tests (pulmonary function test and hypercapnic challenge). There will be weekly phone visits that include a questionnaire on sleepiness. The group that takes liraglutide will check their blood sugar two times a day while on the medicine.

Primary Outcome

Change in the number of apneas plus hypopnea events per hour of sleep from baseline at end of study.
