About this study

Official title: Platelet Activation and Circadian Rhythms of Clotting-Fibrinolysis Factors in Patients With Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Implications in the Precipitation of Cardiovascular Events

The objective of the study is to define and compare clotting- fibrinolysis patterns, platelet function markers and endothelial dysfunction in patients with SAHS before and after treatment and normal controls age and weight matched.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis of the study is the following: Patients with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome have higher risk of cardiovascular mortality during the night.

Respiratory alterations (hypoxia, hypoxia- reoxygenation) that these patients suffer during the sleep may induce modifications in platelet function, clotting-fibrinolysis factors and endothelial function, that may accelerate cardiovascular events during the night

DESIGN: Prospective and controlled study

METHODS: 20 SAHS patients and 20 controls will be studied. The study includes:

  1. medical history; b) anthropometric variables (weight, height, body mass index, waist-hip ratio); c) sleepiness tested by Epworth scale; d) conventional polysomnography (PSG); e) testing every 4 hours for a 24 hours period: clotting-fibrinolysis factors (factor V, VII, VIII; C and S protein, plasminogen tissular activator (t-PA) and inhibitor of plasminogen activator (PAI-1); platelet activation markers (CD62, CD63 and GPIIb/IIIa) and endothelial dysfunction markers (endothelins, nitrites/nitrates and asymmetrical dimethyl-arginine); f) basic biochemical profile and hemogram. Patients will be revaluated after 6 months of CPAP treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) in people with Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Diseases, 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 1 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Antonia Barceló, MD (34 971 175112, abarcelo@hsd.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To define and compare clotting- fibrinolysis patterns, platelet function markers and endothelial dysfunction. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.
