About this study

Official title: Effect of PAP Treatment on Glycemic Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus are two prevalent medical conditions with significant associated cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. Research indicates that the prevalence of OSA is increased in diabetic patients when compared with normoglycemic patients and that OSA is independently associated with type 2 diabetes. Further research suggests that effective treatment of the OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves insulin responsiveness in both non-diabetic OSA patients and diabetic-OSA patients. We are proposing a clinical trial to evaluate the impact of 6 months of CPAP therapy on glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients with OSA.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of CPAP in improving glycemic control (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetic patients with newly diagnosed OSA. Secondary objectives of this study include: assessment of fasting and post prandial glucose, determination as to whether there are any biochemical markers for OSA in the type 2 diabetic population; assessment of any improvements in cardiovascular outcomes; evaluation of any improvement in quality of life. Patients with OSA will be randomized into one of two groups: either a CPAP treatment group or a non-treatment group. Patients will be followed at 3 months and 6 months with collection of various lab tests to assess glycemic control.

Read the detailed description

Patients attending clinical sites involved with the trial will be asked to participate in the study. Patients will undergo a sleep test and if positive for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) will continue in the study.

At the time of enrolment baseline history and physical examination will be assessed. Baseline lab samples will also be obtained to measure levels of fasting blood glucose, insulin, HbA1c, lipids, biochemical markers and creatinine/albumin ratio. Post-prandial glucose levels and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure will be evaluated. Participants will also be asked to complete Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires.

Participants will be randomised into either continuous positive airway pressure CPAP treatment or no treatment. All subjects will be counselled regarding adopting a healthy lifestyle and advised on the Heart Foundation, National Health and Medical Research Council, and American Diabetes Association nutrition and exercise recommendations. Follow-up on adoption of the healthy lifestyle approach will be done for all study participants for the duration of the trial period. Total duration of a patient's participation is 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positive Airway Pressure therapy and Lifestyle counseling in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by ResMed at 15 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 30 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United States, Australia, Canada. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Oct 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

HbA1c Change (time frame: Baseline to Month 6). 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 NCT00509223, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Dec 2013.
