Market and Competitive Landscape
- Oxnimbi is positioned as the first potential pharmacological treatment to improve oxygenation during sleep and target the neuromuscular root cause of upper airway collapse in OSA.
- The company believes the introduction of once-nightly oral drugs has the potential to expand diagnosis and treatment reach compared to historically limited device or invasive surgery options.
