About this study

Official title: Comparison of a Modified Adaptive Servoventilation With Conventional Adaptive Servoventilation Processes in Terms of Efficacy Against Complex Nocturnal Breathing Disorders

The objective of this study is to compare the modified adaptive servoventilation control algorithm of the with the standardised algorithms of routinely-used servoventilation processes (AutoSet CS2) in terms of the effect on obstructive and central events. The aim is to normalise breathing during sleep and hence eliminate the sleep-related breathing disorder, resulting in even more effective treatment of nocturnal breathing disorders in patients with cardiovascular diseases and sleep apnoea, to ensure optimum therapy success.

Read the detailed description

Patients with cardiovascular disorders frequently suffer from sleep-related respiratory disorders (SRRD), such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or a specific form of central sleep apnea, Cheyne-Stokes breathing (CSB, periodic breathing). However there is also a significant incidence of complex nocturnal breathing disorders, with both obstructive and central components. Sleep-related breathing disorders of this kind cause decreases in arterial oxygen saturation through brief hypopneas and apneas. Disturbed breathing also causes the patient to wake frequently during the night (arousals), usually during the hyperventilatory phase of CSB. Repeated arousals cause fragmentation of sleep, and therefore a deep sleep deficit. This leads to increased sleepiness during the day and impaired cognitive performance.

Previous studies have shown that Cheyne-Stokes breathing can be treated effectively with adaptive servoventilation. An enhancement to the routinely used algorithm (AutoSet CS2) has been created which allows the algorithm to differentiate between obstructive events and Cheyne-Stokes breathing, and better respond to apneas and hypopneas to eliminate the sleep-related breathing disorder and normalise breathing during sleep.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI)

    number of breathing pauses that occur each hour of sleep

    Measured: 1 night sleep

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Average SaO2

    average percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood

    Measured: 1 night sleep

  2. CPAP pressure

    Continuous Positive Airway Pressure requirement for elimination of nocturnal breathing disorders

    Measured: 1 night sleep

  3. Pressure stability in presence of mask leaks

    How much the CPAP pressure varies when mask leak occurs

    Measured: 1 night sleep

  4. Minimum SaO2

    The minimum percentage of oxygen saturation recorded in the blood

    Measured: 1 night sleep

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Periodic Breathing and Cheyne-Stokes Respiration, run by ResMed at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 5 Feb 2021. 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 Germany. 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?

Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) (time frame: 1 night sleep). 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 5 Feb 2021.
