About this study

Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes, it remains unclear whether OSA treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has metabolic benefits. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of 8-hour nightly CPAP treatment on glucose metabolism in individuals with prediabetes and OSA.

Read the detailed description

Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes, it remains unclear whether OSA treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has metabolic benefits. To determine the effect of 8-hour nightly CPAP treatment on glucose metabolism in individuals with prediabetes and OSA. In a randomized, controlled parallel group study, 39 participants were randomized (2:1) to receive either 8-hour nightly CPAP (n=26) or oral placebo (n=13). Sleep was polysomnographically recorded in the laboratory on each night. CPAP adherence was ensured by continuous supervision. Participants continued their daily daytime routine activities outside the laboratory. Glucose metabolism was assessed at baseline and after 2-weeks of assigned treatment using both the oral and intravenous glucose tolerance tests (OGTT and ivGTT, respectively). The primary outcome was the overall glucose response as quantified by the area under the curve for glucose during 2-hour oral glucose tolerance testing.

What participants receive

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

  • CPAP maskDevice

    Also called continuous positive airway pressure therapy

    The subjects who are randomized to CPAP treatment will undergo an overnight CPAP titration in the laboratory, which will be performed manually by a registered technician according to American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) guidelines .Subjects will be admitted in the early evening and will receive positive airway pressure education, hands on demonstration, careful mask fitting and acclimatization prior to titration. The goal during the titration will be to determine the optimal CPAP pressure setting that eliminates obstructive respiratory events, restore oxygen saturations and sleep continuity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Area Under the Curve (AUC) Glucose at Week 2

    The area under the glucose time curve, between 0 and 120 minutes of the OGTT, was calculated for each patient using the trapezoidal rule .

    Change = Week 2 - Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 2

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in Insulin Sensitivity (SI) at Week 2

    SI is estimated from modeling of the insulin and glucose values during the intravenous glucose tolerance test (ivGTT).

    Change = Week 2 - Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 2

  2. Change From Baseline in 24-hr Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg) at Week 2

    The average systolic blood pressure measured over a 24-hr period was calculated for each patient.

    Change = Week 2 - Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 2

  3. Change From Baseline in 24-hr Diastolic Blood Pressure (mmHg) at Week 2

    The average diastolic blood pressure over a 24-hr period was calculated for each patient.

    Change = Week 2 - Baseline

    Measured: Baseline and Week 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP mask in people with Diabetes and Sleep Apnea, run by University of Chicago 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 7 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 27 May 2015. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 27 May 2015). 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 From Baseline in Area Under the Curve (AUC) Glucose at Week 2 (time frame: Baseline and Week 2). 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 NCT01156116, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 May 2015.
