About this study

Official title: A Longitudinal Study of Short-Term Effects of CPAP Treatment on Airway and Systemic Inflammation in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of CPAP treatment on airway and systemic inflammation in obstructive sleep apnea.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterised by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Systemic and airway inflammation has been recently shown to be associated with OSA and is hypothesized to contribute to the clinical manifestation and the complications of OSA patients.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a first-line treatment for OSA and improves diurnal and nocturnal symptoms. However, the effectiveness of CPAP in reversing airway inflammation is less compelling in comparison to systemic inflammation.

This study will assess NO in exhaled breath, inflammatory biomarkers in induced sputum and blood of OSA patients and other clinical measurements before and after 3 months of CPAP treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP treatment in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Inflammation, run by Kyoto University, Graduate School of Medicine at 1 site in Japan.

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 2 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 27 Mar 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 Japan. 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?

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?

Inflammatory biomarkers in induced sputum and blood. Cell counts in induced sputum. (time frame: 3 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 27 Mar 2013.
