Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 year and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Population includes consented adult patients and pediatric patients from 3 sites that have been referred for sleep studies by a medical professional. The study will include both patients with suspected OSA and patients that have been invited to a sleep lab for reasons not related to OSA such as insomnia, para-insomnia and similar.

Who may be able to join

  • All Adults > 18 years old and able to understand and give consent per the IRB or a child above one years old consented by a parent or legal guardians.
  • Patients consented or for whom legal guardians consented for the participation of this trial.
  • Patient recommended for a Sleep assessment by medical staff.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who in the opinion of the investigator should not participate.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of an Apnea Index Provided by a Capnograph/Pulse Oximeter to Assist in the Diagnosis and Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The study is designed to compare the apnea event recognition capability of the Capnostream 20 with investigational software to polysomnograph recordings scored by a trained analyst. The study will compare the apnea index score (AI) calculated by the Capnostream 20 algorithm based on capnography to that calculated by a trained analyst evaluating polysomnograph recordings.

To this aim, subjects will be connected to EMBLA N7000 Polysomnograph, and to the Capnostream 20, in order to monitor CO2 and SpO2 during routine overnight sleep studies.

The Capnostream, using both its USB Data Port and Analog output port will simultaneously provide the monitored data both to a USB flash memory device and Polysomnograph for storage for future analysis.

The data collected by the Polysomnograph including the Capnostream data will be analyzed by a trained expert for evaluation of apnea events obtained from both sources.

In parallel, the Capnostream data as collected with the USB flash memory, will be downloaded onto a PC, and using the Oridion software algorithm designed for evaluating the data (to be implemented in the monitor when validated), the Apnea Index and Oxygen Desaturation Index will be calculated. The results of the Apnea Index scores calculated from the Polysomnograph and from the DUT will be compared.

Based on the results, the study will then evaluate the ability of the Capnograph/Pulse-Oximeter as a tool for screening and assisting in the diagnosis of patients with obstructive sleep-apnea in the hospital environment, where it is being used as a ventilation monitor based on the demonstration of a high correlation with the gold standard in the sleep lab.

Read the detailed description

The clinical investigation will be conducted until enrollment of at least 30 adult and 30 Pediatric patients of both sexes with complete data sets are collected from three different sleep lab sites per the FDA guidance requirements. The enrollment time will last up to six (6) months. The overall number of enrolled patients (i.e. with complete/incomplete data) will not exceed 80 patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Oridion at 3 sites in Israel.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Israel. 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?

Comparison of apnea event detection (time frame: Apnea events are defined as events that last at least 10 seconds). 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 NCT01010438, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 2 Nov 2016.
