About this study

Official title: The Investigation of the Roles of Prostanoids in Patients With Sleep Apnea Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationships between prostanoids and various outcomes such as sleep disturbance, hypertension and arteriosclerosis in patients with sleep apnea syndrome(SAS). In the patients introduced to continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) treatment, the effects of CPAP are also evaluated.

Read the detailed description

SAS is characterized by abnormality during sleep and hypoxemia from apnea and hypopnea, followed by systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction like cardiovascular diseases. Systemic inflammation causes the activation of arachidonic acid metabolism, producing prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs). In addition, significant relationships between PGD2 and PGE2 and sleep, PGF2α and hypertension, PGI2 and thromboxane and platelet aggregation and so on are reported. Therefore, it is hypothesized that many prostanoids affect the pathophysiology of SAS. However, the relationships between prostanoids and clinical outcomes in patients with SAS are unknown. Although CPAP is the major treatment of SAS, the effects of CPAP on prostanoids are not known, either. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate those relationships.

What participants receive

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

  • CPAP treatmentDevice

    CPAP treatment is to improve airway obstruct for obstructive sleep apnea, and after 3 months' treatment, we evaluate the effects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP treatment in people with Sleep Apnea, 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 1 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?

metabolites of arachidonic acid in the urine and blood (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.
