Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can image the structure and geometry of hollow organs of the upper airway in sleep disorder. The research can identify the obstruction sites that help the select the appropriate treatment for potential surgical candidates. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can image the structure and geometry of hollow organs of the upper airway in sleep disorder. The research can identify the obstruction sites that help the select the appropriate treatment for potential surgical candidates.

Read the detailed description

The National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research estimated that 18 million Americans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) The majority of them are undiagnosed and untreated at this time.

The current diagnostic gold standard for OSA is in-laboratory, a full night polysomnography (PSG). However, PSG is unable to provide information on upper airway structure and anatomy, and cannot identify the obstruction sites. OSA can lead to severe health complications including hypertension, heart failure, memory impairment, motor vehicle and work accidents, decreased work productivity, and increased risk of death.

What is being measured

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

  1. obstructive upper airways in sleep disordered

    The OCT can provide information on upper airway structure and anatomy, and identify the obstruction sites.

    Measured: 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 3D endoscopic Fourier Domain OCT in people with Sleep Apnea, run by University of California, Irvine.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

obstructive upper airways in sleep disordered (time frame: 8 hours). 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 1 Nov 2022.
