About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Study of the Relationship Between the Oxidative Stress and the Development of Cardiovascular Complications in the Sleep Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome (SAHS). Effect of the Treatment With CPAP

The purpose of this study is to compare the levels of 8-isoprostane and other oxidative stress biomarkers in plasma and condensed exhaled air between patients with SAHS and cardiovascular complications, patients with SAHS without cardiovascular complications and control subjects. To evaluate the effect of three months of treatment with CPAP on the oxidative stress biomarkers.

Read the detailed description

Aim: To compare the levels of 8-isoprostane and other oxidative stress biomarkers in plasma and condensed exhaled air between patients with SAHS and cardiovascular complications, patients with SAHS without cardiovascular complications and control subjects. To evaluate the effect of three months of treatment with CPAP on the oxidative stress biomarkers.

Design: randomized, double blind, of parallel groups and controlled with placebo study.

Study subjects: 53 patients with SAHS (23 with cardiovascular complications and 30 without cardiovascular complications), 23 patients with cardiovascular diseases without SAHS and 23 control subjects.

Interventions: Three months of treatment with therapeutic CPAP or with sham CPAP (placebo).

Determinations: clinical (cardiovascular morbidity) and anthropometric data. Fat free corporal mass, echocardiography, spirometry, ambulatory monitoring of the arterial pressure, endothelial reactivity. Oxidative stress biomarkers (8-isoprostane, homocysteine, HIF-1, NFkB, AP-1, VEGF, ET-1, TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, nitrates and nitrites) in plasma and condensed exhaled air.Peripheral sensitivity to hypoxia. Urinary excretion of catecholamines.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing nasal CPAP in people with Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Hospital Universitario La Paz 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 2 Apr 2013. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Plasmatic 8-isoprostane concentration (time frame: three months). 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 2 Apr 2013.
