Additional Exclusion Criteria (OSA Cohort)
- SpO2 <80% for >=5% of TST during the screening PSG

- Current evidence of a clinically significant, active respiratory disorder other than OSA. This includes bronchiectasis, emphysema, asthma, COPD or any other pulmonary disorder identified by review of medical history, physical examination, and which in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the participant's safety or interfere with study assessments
