Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a highly prevalent disorder with multiple comorbidities. OSAHS is characterized by repetitive episodes of airflow reduction (hypopnoea) or cessation (apnoea) due to upper airway collapse during sleep. Its major risk factor is obesity.

About this study

Official title: Effect of the Correction of Vitamin D Deficiency in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea-hypopopnea Syndrome (OSAHS)

Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a highly prevalent disorder with multiple comorbidities.

OSAHS is characterized by repetitive episodes of airflow reduction (hypopnoea) or cessation (apnoea) due to upper airway collapse during sleep. Its major risk factor is obesity. However, its pathogenesis is complex and multifactorial. Reduced upper airway muscle tonus and/or unstable neuromuscular output seem to be involved in this collapsus.

A normal vitamin D status is necessary for normal muscle function and neuromuscular output. As obesity is associated with a high rate of hypovitaminosis D, it appears of interest to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on OSAHS patients with vitamin D deficiency.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, longitudinal, double bind, randomized study of the effect of vitamin D supplementation in OSAHS patients with hypovitaminosis D.

After written informed consent, patients will be randomized to receive a single dose of oral vitamin D (400 000 UI) or placebo. Subjects will undergo medical screening before randomisation into placebo or active group. Follow-up measurements will be performed at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation: clinical examination, biological check up and sleep parameter evaluation. Patients will be instructed to stop using continuous positive airway pressure device for two nights before nocturnal sleep studies.

  • 25 OH vitamin DDrug

    After written informed consent, patients will be randomized to receive a single dose of oral vitamin D (400 000 UI) or placebo. Subjects will undergo medical screening before randomisation into placebo or active group. Follow-up measurements will be performed at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation: clinical examination, biological check up and sleep parameter evaluation. Patients will be instructed to stop using continuous positive airway pressure device for two nights before nocturnal sleep studies

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), defined as the average rate of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep

    Measured: at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Epworth sleepiness scale

    Measured: at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation

  2. mean arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) during sleep, time of SaO2<90%, and Nadir of arterial oxygen saturation (Nadir SaO2)

    Measured: at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation

  3. Continuous positive airway pressure measured with a CPAP equipment

    Measured: at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation

  4. Muscular strength measured with handgrip test

    Measured: at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation

  5. Mini Mental Sate Examination, trail making test, Hamilton Anxiety Depression scale, SF36 questionnaire

    Measured: at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation

  6. Inflammatory status : IL6 and high sensitivity C-reactive proteine (hs CRP)

    Measured: at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation

  7. Analysis of genes implicated in vitamin D metabolism

    Measured: at inclusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 25 OH vitamin D in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2011. 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patrick LACARIN (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), defined as the average rate of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep (time frame: at the beginning (day 0) and after 32 days of vitamin D supplementation). 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 25 Mar 2011.
