Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the associations of circadian variations, sleep architecture, hypertension and prostanoids in the patients with sleep apnea. In addition, the patients introduced to continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) treatment, the effects of CPAP are also evaluated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Association of Circadian Variations,Sleep Architecture, Hypertension, and Prostaglandin in Sleep Apnea

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the associations of circadian variations, sleep architecture, hypertension and prostanoids in the patients with sleep apnea. In addition, the patients introduced to continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) treatment, the effects of CPAP are also evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep that provoke frequents arousals, sleep fragmentation, oxygen desaturation, and excessive daytime sleepiness. OSA may contribute to the development of systemic hypertension, cardiovascular disease. Many studies has reported a crucial role for the prostaglandin D system in sleep regulation. In addition, it has been described urinary or blood levels of prostaglandins was higher in the patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and these values were associated with the severity of coronary artery disease. However, the relation between alterations of prostaglandin D system and sleep architecture, sleepiness, and clinical outcomes such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis in the patients with OSA are not known. Additionally, after CPAP treatment, we will investigate the association between change of prostaglandin system and sleep architecture, sleepiness, clinical outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prostaglandins in the urine and blood

    Measured: baseline, and 2days, 3 months after CPAP

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. polysomnography measurements

    Measured: baseline, and 2days, 3 months after CPAP

  2. sleepiness and health-related quality of life

    Measured: baseline, and 2days, 3 months after CPAP

  3. Clinical measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, sympathetic activity etc)

    Measured: baseline, and 2days, 3 months after CPAP

  4. serum and urinary biomarker (inflammation, oxidative stress etc.)

    Measured: baseline, and 2days, 3 months after CPAP

  5. endothelial function

    Measured: baseline, and 2days, 3 months after CPAP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP treatment in people with Sleep Apnea and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, run by Kyoto University 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 26 Jan 2012. 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?

Prostaglandins in the urine and blood (time frame: baseline, and 2days, 3 months after CPAP). 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 NCT01096433, 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 26 Jan 2012.
