About this study

Official title: Exercised-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Patients With Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Purposes:

  1. To investigate whether patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are at higher risk for exercised-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) due to baseline airway inflammation compared with age, gender, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls.
  2. To investigate the effect of 3-month continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on EIB for patients with severe OSAS.
Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Recent studies have found evidence of airway inflammation in patients with OSAS. Individuals with chronic airway inflammation are at higher risk for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). We hypothesized patients with OSAS are at higher risk for EIB due to baseline airway inflammation. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a known standard treatment for OSAS, thus the second aim of the study will be investigating the effect of 3-month CPAP therapy on EIB for patients with OSAS. Twenty severe OSAS patients and 20 control individuals matched for age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) will be recruited. All participants will come to the laboratory on 2 separate days (5~14 days interval). On the 1st visit, baseline pulmonary function test (PFT) and airway inflammation assess by induced sputum will be performed. On the 2nd visit, an exercise challenge test will be performed using standard testing protocol and post-exercise forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) will be measured at 2.5, 5, 10, 15,20, and 30 minutes. For patients with severe OSAS, all measurements will be repeated after 3-month CPAP therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)Device

    CPAP of optimal pressure used during sleep for 3 months

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of changed forced expiratory volume in 1 second. (to determine if an exercise-induced bronchoconstriction attacked)

    Measured: 3 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of different inflammatory cells in induced sputum. (to determine to severity of baseline airway inflammation)

    Measured: 3 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive and Asthma, Exercise-Induced, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 Jun 2009. 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 Taiwan. 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 Liying Wang (886-3366-8123, ptschool@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of changed forced expiratory volume in 1 second. (to determine if an exercise-induced bronchoconstriction attacked) (time frame: 3 month). 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 Jun 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
