Trial summary

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). This is most commonly administered as a single positive pressure that has been individualized for the patient to prevent obstructive respiratory events. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Auto CPAP Based Energy Spectrum Analysis of Flow for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome.

Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). This is most commonly administered as a single positive pressure that has been individualized for the patient to prevent obstructive respiratory events. However, the therapeutic pressure may vary by sleep stage and body position within a single night and may change over the course of several nights. One approach to dealing with this variability is the use of automatically adjusting CPAP that responds to patient breathing patterns with alterations in the delivered pressure. This study is designed to determine the effectiveness of using the energy spectrum analysis of flow signals to automatically adjust CPAP pressure and improve sleep variables. Thirty subjects who require CPAP will be recruited from the NYU sleep disorders center. Following diagnostic studies (either split night or full night) the subject will undergo a night of treatment with the Fisher and Paykel Healthcare AutoPAP. Efficacy of treatment will be evaluated based on normalization of sleep disordered breathing while treated with the AutoPAP.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI)

    The Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) measure of severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It is a calculation of the number of apnea events and the number of hypopnea events divided by the total sleep time. Mild OSA is characterized between 5-15 events per hour. Moderate OSA is characterized as 15-30 events per hour. Severe OSA is characterized as greater than 30 events per hour.

    Measured: 1 night

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percent of Time With Less Than 90% Oxygen Saturation

    Oxygen saturation is a measurement of the amount of oxygen present in the blood. An oxygen saturation of less than 90% is considered low, resulting in hypoxemia. Normal blood oxygen level is considered between 95-100%.

    Measured: 1 Night

  2. Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI)

    Similar to AHI, the RDI is a calculation of the total number of respiratory disturbances in sleep. The calculation includes apneas and hypopneas, but also includes respiratory effort related arousals.

    Measured: 1 Night

  3. Arousal Index (AI)

    The Arousal Index is a calculation of the frequency of awakenings per hour of sleep. The higher the number, the more awakenings per hour.

    Measured: 1 Night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SleepStyle 200 Auto Series CPAP Humidifier in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 1 site 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2019. 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 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. 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 9 Apr 2019). 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?

Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) (time frame: 1 night). 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 NCT00750165, 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 9 Apr 2019.
