About this study

Official title: The Safety and Efficacy of Eszopiclone in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hypnotic efficacy of ezopiclone in subjects with mild to moderate OSAS.

Read the detailed description

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. This study will compare the use of eszopiclone to placebo for subjects with mild to moderate obstructive sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAS). Frequency and duration of apnea and hypopnea episodes, oxygen saturation, objective sleep parameters and safety information will be collected in this study. This study was previously posted by Sepracor Inc. In October 2009, Sepracor Inc. was acquired by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma., and in October 2010, Sepracor Inc's name was changed to Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.

  2. Oxygen saturation during apnea and hypopnea

    Measured: Nights -14, 1, 2, 8, 9

  3. The number of arousals during apnea and hypopnea

    Measured: Nights -14, 1, 2, 8, 9

  4. Objective sleep parameters as measured by PSG (i.e., latency to persistent sleep, sleep efficiency, and wake time after sleep onset

    Measured: Nights -14, 1, 2, 8, 9

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Eszopiclone in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

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 5 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 22 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

AHI (frequency of apnea and hypopnea episodes). (time frame: Nights -14, 1, 2, 8, 9). 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 22 Feb 2012.
