Trial summary

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) continues to be the primary therapy prescribed for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Although effective, adherence to CPAP is suboptimal in many patients, making alternative therapies desirable. Read more about this study

About this study

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) continues to be the primary therapy prescribed for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Although effective, adherence to CPAP is suboptimal in many patients, making alternative therapies desirable. Recently, a novel device (Provent™) has been developed for the treatment of snoring and OSA. The purpose of the current study is to examine how well the Provent™ device treats OSA with particular attention to the how the it may treat sleep apnea and who may most likely benefit from the use of this treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Treatment sleep study (Provent™ device used)Device

    The patient's sleep apnea severity is determined on this night while using the Provent™ device. The patient only uses the Provent™ device on this night (single night use only).

  • Baseline sleep study (No device)Other

    The patient sleeps for 1 night in the sleep lab to determine their baseline sleep apnea severity without sleeping with the Provent device.

  • Physiology sleep study (Provent™ on/off)Other

    During this sleep study night, the patient is sleeping with a modified Provent™ device that can be turned on and off to assess changes in airflow during the night (single night use only).Provent™ on/off is bracketed in 10 minute intervals during stable stage 2 sleep.

Study groups in NCT01061476
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single arm - Sleep apneaOtherParticipants with sleep apnea will be recruited for the study. Each participant will undergo 3 sleep studies to assess the effect of the Provent™ device. Participants will only use the device while they are in the sleep laboratory. They will not use the device at home between sleep studies . 1. Baseline sleep study (No device) - Assess the effects of no Provent™ on sleep apnea severity. 2. Treatment sleep study (Provent™ device used) - Assess the effects of Provent™ on sleep apnea severity 3. Physiology sleep study (Provent™ on/off) - Assess the physiological effects of the Provent™ device on breathing during sleep.
Receives: Device: Treatment sleep study (Provent™ device used); Other: Baseline sleep study (No device); Other: Physiology sleep study (Provent™ on/off)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in AHI

    The primary outcome was the change in the apnea hypopnea index (AHI). Sleep apnea events are defined as apneas and hypopneas.The AHI is a measure of sleep apnea severity. An AHI > 5 event/h is considered abnormal. AHI values are typically categorized as 5-15 events/hr = mild; 15-30 events/hr = moderate; and > 30 events/hr = severe. For this study we compared the change in AHI from the baseline sleep study (No Provent) compared to the treatment night sleep study (on Provent).

    Measured: Comparisons were made between the 2 nights

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Treatment sleep study (Provent™ device used), Baseline sleep study (No device) and Physiology sleep study (Provent™ on/off) in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Johns Hopkins University 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 2 inclusion and 28 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 19 Jul 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jul 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?

Change in AHI (time frame: Comparisons were made between the 2 nights). 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 NCT01061476, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jul 2013.
