About this study

Official title: Evaluation of an Algorithm to Detect Sleep and Wake in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Users Using Paced Breathing

The purpose of this engineering trial is to develop and validate an algorithm that will deliver Paced Breathing as a ramp feature to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. In this trial the investigators will be evaluating the algorithm's ability to correctly distinguish between sleep and wake.

What participants receive

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

  • Paced BreathingDevice

    Also called Respironics

    The Paced Breathing (PB) feature(when activated) will work to relax the user and help them fall asleep by encouraging them to take deep slow breaths until they reach 10 breaths (or less) per minute. The feature will also detect when the subject has fallen asleep so the Continuous Positive Airway Pressur (CPAP) device will automatically switch from PB mode to regular CPAP mode.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sleep/Wake Algorithm

    We tested the ability of the Sleep/Wake algorithm to identify sleep an wake periods with precision, as compared to standard polysonography (PSG) measures, which was used as the gold standard, i.e. we tested the accuracy of the algorithm. Accuracy was defined as the proportion of true results (both true positives and true negatives)in the population and it was assesed using as 2 X 2 table, i.e. accuracy = number of true positives + number of true negatives/ number of true positives + false positives + false negatives +true negatives. where True positive = the algorithm tested correctly identified sleep, False positive = the algorithm tested incorrectly identified sleep, True negative = the algorithm tested correctly rejected awake periods, and False negative = the algorithm tested incorrectly rejected awake periods.

    Measured: The performance of the algorithm will be evaluated in real time while the subject is wearing the device during the sleep study, an average of 08 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Paced Breathing in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Philips Respironics at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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 14 May 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 May 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Sleep/Wake Algorithm (time frame: The performance of the algorithm will be evaluated in real time while the subject is wearing the device during the sleep study, an average of 08 hours.). 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 14 May 2013.
