  3. ≤25% of apneas are central or mixed apneas at V2 baseline PSG Weight
  4. BMI between 18.5 and 40.0 kg/m2, inclusive, at the pre-PSG visit.

  19. ESS > 18
  20. Night- or shift-work sleep schedule which causes the major sleep period to be during the day.
  21. Employment as a commercial driver or operator of heavy or hazardous equipment.
  22. Typically smoking more than 10 cigarettes or 2 cigars per day, or inability to abstain from smoking during overnight PSG visits.
  23. Unwilling to use specified contraception.
  24. History of regular alcohol consumption of more than 14 standard units per week (males) or more than 7 standard units per week (females), or unwillingness to limit alcohol consumption to no greater than 2 units/day (males), 1 unit per day (females), not to be consumed within 3 hours of bedtime or on PSG nights.
  25. Unwilling to limit during the study period caffeinated beverage intake (e.g., coffee, cola, tea) to 400 mg/day or less of caffeine, not to be used within 3 hours of bedtime.
  26. Any condition that in the investigator's opinion would present an unreasonable risk to the participant, or which would interfere with their participation in the study or confound study interpretation.
  27. Participant considered by the investigator, for any reason, an unsuitable candidate to receive atomoxetine and/or dronabinol or unable or unlikely to understand or comply with the dosing schedule or study evaluations.

Meals and Dietary Restrictions

  1. Participants should refrain from consumption of any nutrients known to modulate CYP enzyme activity (e.g., grapefruit or grapefruit juice, pomelo juice, star fruit, pomegranate, and Seville or Moro [blood] orange products) within 72 hours before the first dose of study drug and during the study.
  2. Diet should be generally stable during the study, e.g., new diet programs should not be initiated.

Caffeine, Alcohol, and Tobacco

  1. During the outpatient portions of the study, participants should refrain from more than 2 standard units per day of alcohol for men or 1 unit/day for women, consumed no less than 3 hours prior to bedtime. Alcohol should not be consumed on PSG nights.
  2. Moderate consumption of caffeinated beverages, containing up to a total of 400 mg caffeine per day, is permitted during the study period, consumed no less than 3 hours prior to bedtime.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The SEED study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) of 3 escalating dose combinations of atomoxetine with AD313 compared to baseline and to atomoxetine alone.
Detailed Description
The SEED study is an open-label, 4 consecutive period dose-escalation study of combinations of AD313 vs. atomoxetine alone in participants with moderate- to severe OSA. A screening polysomnogram (PSG) will be conducted to establish that each participant meets study enrollment criteria and to serve as baseline. Each participant will then receive escalating doses of AD313 with on-drug PSGs to be conducted on the final night of dosing.
