PLEASANTON, Calif., Sept. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProSomnus, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSA), a leading CPAP alternative for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (“OSA”), today announced that their precision sleep apnea devices will be prominently featured in the scientific programs at upcoming medical conferences. The new scientific abstracts and podium presentations feature new data and additional data reporting on the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of ProSomnus devices. The positive data adds to the expanding volume of independent evidence establishing precision oral devices as a leading treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea.
“ProSomnus proudly supports medical grade research that helps physicians select the optimal therapy for each and every patient with Obstructive Sleep Apnea,” said Len Liptak, ProSomnus Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “A growing number of physicians are interested in ProSomnus devices as an alternative to CPAP and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation. ProSomnus devices have demonstrated efficacy, safety, adherence, and patient preference in several studies. The additional data reported at these upcoming conferences should further establish precision oral appliance therapy with ProSomnus devices as a consistent, reliable, treatment option.”

FLOSAT is an ongoing prospective, independent, head-to-head, crossover study comparing the effectiveness of precision OAT as first-line treatment versus CPAP therapy. ProSomnus EVO™ devices are being used exclusively for the precision OAT arm of the study. A total of 136 patients with moderate and severe OSA were included in the study, with 102 of those patients moving into the analyzed population. The study concluded, among other findings, that precision OAT was effective among 90% of moderate OSA patients and 85% of severe OSA patients.
“The findings from FLOSAT demonstrate that precision oral appliance therapy can be a highly effective therapy for moderate to severe OSA, while being much more comfortable and convenient for the patient,” said Dr. John Remmers, ProSomnus Chief Scientist. “It is a known fact that many patients refuse the CPAP option, putting their health in serious jeopardy, and the ProSomnus device goes a long way to addressing this drawback. Based on both its efficacy and superior adherence, the data shows that precision oral therapy is suited to become a first-line therapy for the widespread health emergency that is Obstructive Sleep Apnea.”
About FLOSAT
Designed and conducted by The Antwerp University Hospital (UZA), the primary endpoints of FLOSAT are to evaluate the overall effectiveness of OAT as a first-line treatment for OSA, compare the overall effectiveness of OAT with that of CPAP and evaluate patients’ preference. ProSomnus devices are being used exclusively for the precision OAT arm of the study. A total of 136 patients enrolled in FLOSAT, all with moderate to severe OSA, body mass index less than 35 kg/m2, and central AHI less than 30% of total AHI, and all of whom had not received any previous OSA therapy and were eligible for OAT. After completing three months of first-line treatment with OAT followed by three months of CPAP, participants are asked which therapy they prefer. More information can be found at www.ClinicalTrials.gov using the identifier NCT05393531.
