About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy of Autoadjusted Positive Pressure Devices for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a common condition that leads to daytime sleepiness and loss of vigilance and, in addition, increased risk of cardiovascular events. The most effective treatment consists in ventilation by mask with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), that prevents collapse of the upper airway. However the degree of collapsibility of the pharynx may vary in relation to position, sleep stage, or alcohol or sedative consumption. Thus, CPAP treatment (invented in 1981) has evolved with the development of more sophisticated equipment that permits adapted variations in pressure levels (autoCPAP) with the objective adjusted pressure to avoid airways obstruction with minimal pressure.

Different models of autoCPAP function with different signals and event detection algorithms with different modes of reaction to events. These machines are marketed with CE certification, that guarantees electrical security, but there is to date, no requirement for pre-marketing clinical validation. Nonetheless inadequate treatment may leave patients at risk of accidents and cardiovascular events. These machines can be bench tested using test equipment that can measure with accuracy the response to simulated events, but the testing equipment cannot simulate the diversity of clinical situations, nor the residual level of microarousals that may persist. Thus these bench tests need to be supplemented by clinical studies. The investigators objective is to test the efficacy of these machines on residual sleep-related events during a one night autotitration polysomnography. We develop a prospective, multicentre, non randomised study with autotitration polysomnography only for one night. These clinical results will be compared with the results of bench tests in order to evaluate the pertinence of the bench tests and their eventual utility to simplify clinical evaluation. The perspective of developing a reliable testing protocol may eventually play a role in the certification of these machines.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing autoPPC in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Association Nationale pour les Traitements A Domicile, les Innovations et la Recherche at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 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 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jean Claude MEURICE, Pr (05 49 44 43 87, meurice@chu-poitiers.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Residual sleep-related events . (time frame: One night of polysomnography). 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 10 Feb 2012.
