About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Performance of the Tasman CPAP System in Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Assessment of the performance of the Tasman CPAP system in treating obstructive sleep apnea. The purpose of this study is to (1) evaluate the performance of this system in the efficacy of the treatment in comparison to S8 Escape, and (2) to evaluate the performance of the Tasman device via subjective assessment of comfort and ease of breathing compared to the participant's current CPAP device.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a condition characterised by partial or complete collapse of the upper airway during sleep. The treatment of choice for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP acts as a positive airway splint, delivering a fixed positive airway pressure to the upper airway via a tube and mask. The mask is attached to the participant's nose via head straps. The type of mask used is dependent upon participant choice and comfort and the mask that provides the best fit.

Some participants stop using CPAP therapy finding it difficult to tolerate due to leak issues or discomfort from their nasal mask. Another frequent concern is mask dislodgment while sleeping causing leaks and consequently waking the patient up.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Tasman CPAP system via objective and subjective assessment of comfort and ease of breathing compared to the participant's current CPAP device.

Aim

  • To determine if the efficacy of the treatment is clinically equivalent to or better than the predicate device (S8 Escape)
  • To evaluate the performance of the Tasman CPAP system in terms of comfort of breathing and general ease of use

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tasman CPAP system in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by ResMed at 1 site in Australia.

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 9 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 4 Feb 2021. 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 Australia. 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?

To determine if the efficacy of the treatment is clinically equivalent to or better than the predicate device (S8 Escape) (time frame: 1 week). 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 4 Feb 2021.
