About this study

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a pediatric mask in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a pediatric population.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which there is partial or complete collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Features of OSA include snoring to upper airway resistance, which could be mild to severe. While OSA has been studied extensively in an adult population, research indicates that OSA is prevalent in a pediatric population as well, though the options for treatment are not as varied as that for the adult population. The study seeks to determine if a mask made for a pediatric population effectively treats their OSA.

What participants receive

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

  • Pixi pediatric maskDevice

    The study mask is designed for use with PAP therapy to treat OSA in pediatric patients aged 2-7 years. The study mask is designed to be used in the hospital and the home environment. The study subject will use the device for up to 30 days while participating in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) Using the New Pediatric Mask (Pixi) Compared to the Child's Currently-used Mask

    Apnea-Hypopnea index (AHI) is an average of the number of apneas and hypopneas that occur over an hour of recorded sleep. AHI quantifies the severity of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). The higher the AHI, the more severe the SDB (mild 5-15, moderate 15-30, severe >30). In clinical practice an AHI <5 demonstrates efficacy of treatment. AHI was recorded during a monitored sleep study on the new Pixi mask, and compared with the AHI from a monitored sleep study on the child's usual mask. The outcome hypothesis was that the Pixi mask AHI would be equivalent or reduced compared to the child's usual mask.

    Measured: Baseline AHI

  2. Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) Using the New Pediatric Mask (Pixi) Compared to the Child's Currently-used Mask

    Apnea-Hypopnea index (AHI) is an average of the number of apneas and hypopneas that occur over an hour of recorded sleep. AHI quantifies the severity of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). The higher the AHI, the more severe the SDB (mild 5-15, moderate 15-30, severe >30). In clinical practice an AHI <5 demonstrates efficacy of treatment. AHI was recorded during a monitored sleep study on the new Pixi mask and compared with the AHI from a monitored sleep study on the child's usual mask. The outcome hypothesis was that the Pixi mask AHI would be equivalent or reduced compared to the child's usual mask.

    Measured: AHI after min 21 days use with Pixi mask

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pixi pediatric mask in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by ResMed at 3 sites 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 24 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 16 Jan 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?

Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) Using the New Pediatric Mask (Pixi) Compared to the Child's Currently-used Mask (time frame: Baseline AHI). 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 24 Jan 2013.
