About this study

Official title: Effect of CPAP on Arterial Hypertension and Cardiovascular Morbi-Mortality in Patients With Sleep Apnea and Without Daytime Sleepiness

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of CPAP over the incidence of cardiovascular events and diagnosis of arterial hypertension in patients with sleep apnea.

The hypothesis of the study is the following: The existence of sleep disordered breathing in the general population is associated to an increased incidence of arterial hypertension and to an increased risk of suffering cardiovascular disease. CPAP corrects respiratory disorders during sleep. Treatment with CPAP in subjects with sleep disordered breathing without daytime sleepiness reduces the incidence of systemic arterial hypertension and cardiovascular complications.

The end points of the study are new diagnosis of arterial hypertension and new cardiovascular events.

All patients, after randomization, will be followed for three years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) in people with Sleep Apnea and Hypertension, run by Sociedad Española de Neumología y Cirugía Torácica at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of hypertension. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00127348, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Apr 2007.
