Trial summary

Patients with sleep apnea syndrome have repeated apneic events that induce periodic hypoxia-reoxygenation, drawing away an overproduction of oxidants. This exaggerated generation of oxidants is associated with a dysfunction of the vascular endothelium that evolves, in its turn, towards cardiovascular diseases such as… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exhaled Markers of Oxidative Stress and Endothelium-dependent Vascular Relaxation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy.

Patients with sleep apnea syndrome have repeated apneic events that induce periodic hypoxia-reoxygenation, drawing away an overproduction of oxidants. This exaggerated generation of oxidants is associated with a dysfunction of the vascular endothelium that evolves, in its turn, towards cardiovascular diseases such as systemic hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction. The major aim of our study is to examine the effect of CPAP treatment on biochemical (markers of oxidative stress) and functional (endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation reactivity) abnormalities at 1 and 4 weeks of treatment.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will undergo overnight polysomnography in the sleep laboratory (PSG1, D0), which will be immediately preceded and followed by measurements of oxidative stress in exhaled gas and vascular relaxation. Patients included in the OSAS group will be randomly assigned to treatment by either CPAP or Placebo (sham CPAP) for 4 weeks. Measurements of oxidative stress in exhaled gas and vascular reactivity will be repeated immediately before and after PSG2 and PSG3 at D7 and D30, respectively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To examine the effect of CPAP treatment on biochemical (markers of oxidative stress) abnormalities

    Measured: 1 and 4 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To compare between patients with severe OSAS and controls, the degree of the production of markers of oxidative stress non-invasively measured in both the exhaled gas and urine samples

    Measured: before and after a nocturnal polysomnography

  2. To compare between patients and controls, the endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation

    Measured: before and after nocturnal polysomnography

  3. To analyze the relationship between these biochemical and functional abnormalities and the standard criteria of severity of OSAS.

    Measured: before and after nocturnal polysomnography

  4. To examine the effect of CPAP treatment on functional (endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation reactivity) abnormalities

    Measured: 1 and 4 weeks of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP device in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Endothelial Dysfunction, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2010. 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Insuffisent recrutment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To examine the effect of CPAP treatment on biochemical (markers of oxidative stress) abnormalities (time frame: 1 and 4 weeks of treatment). 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 12 Jul 2010.
