About this study

Official title: SLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING DURING CARDIAC REHABILITATION A Study of the Improvement in Physical Performance of Patients With Heart Failure During Cardiac Rehabilitation Due to the Correction of Sleep Disordered Breathing

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a frequent comorbidity for heart failure patients. Its prevalence varies according to the seriousness of the condition of the patients, but it is present in approximately 50% of patients. Screening patients for SDB and managing them by providing adapted ventilation therapy should improve their quality of life or even their prognosis. Moreover, SDB lowers nocturnal cardiovascular recovery abilities and leads to an increase in fatigability and, as a result, exercise intolerance in patients with heart failure. Physical training as part of a cardiac rehabilitation programme provides many benefits, including improving patients' exercise capacities. Our hypothesis is that adapted sleep disordered breathing therapy during rehabilitation will lead to an improvement in rehabilitation results.

Read the detailed description

Controlled, randomised, multicentre study. Patients will be assessed prior to starting the rehabilitation programme with regard to exercise tolerance parameters (cardiopulmonary exercise test, 6 minute walk test), ultrasound parameters and biological parameters (Na, Hb, BNP).

The cardiac rehabilitation programme will include education, secondary prevention and physical training components in each of the two groups. The physical training component will include a minimal "base" of activities that is identical for both groups. The nocturnal therapy device will be adapted to the type of SDB specific to each patient (central, mixed, obstructive). The randomisation will be stratified by centre according to predictive factors for performance improvement during rehabilitation.

The main objective is to evaluate the improvement in physical performance resulting from adapted ventilation on SDB compared to physical training alone in patients with heart failure.

What participants receive

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

  • ventilation therapyOther

    The service provider will provide the patient with the ventilation device and will explain to the patient how to operate the device and how to fit the mask according to the specifications.

    There will be an oximetry recording during ventilation on the first night. After the first night, the ventilation parameters recorded by the machine and the oximetry results will be read and used to adjust the settings.

    Starting the first week and at the end of the programme, the following ventilation parameters will be collected: compliance, leaks, AHI, ventilation mode, pressures used. The threshold of length of nocturnal ventilation fixed to 3h per night on average in order to consider a compliant patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak VO2

    The primary endpoint is the relative improvement of exercise tolerance, estimated using the changes in the patient's peak VO2 measured before starting and after finishing the rehabilitation programme between the both group.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Peak VO2

    The primary endpoint is the relative improvement of exercise tolerance, estimated using the changes in the patient's peak VO2 measured before starting and after finishing the rehabilitation programme between the both group.

    Measured: Between 4 to 9 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physical training compliance

    Secondary endpoints include compliance with rehabilitation sessions, estimated by comparing the number of sessions in which training was effectively carried out with the anticipated number of sessions and other exercise tolerance parameters (maximum power, duration of exercise, submaximal parameters) in each group.

    Measured: between 4 and 9 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ventilation therapy in people with Heart Failure and Sleep Disordered Breathing, run by French Cardiology Society at 19 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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 9 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in France. 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?

Peak VO2 (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Mar 2015.
