About this study

Official title: Initiation of Auto-adjusting Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for Management of Newly Diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in Hospitalized Patients: A Pilot Study

This study will test the following hypotheses:

  1. Treatment of newly diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in acutely ill patients with auto-adjusting Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) would result in fewer in-hospital complications, as compared to no treatment (primary outcome).
  2. Treatment of newly identified OSA in acutely ill patients with auto-adjusting CPAP would result in shorter length of stay, lower re-admission rate, better blood pressure (BP) control, better long term compliance with OSA treatment, as compared to no treatment (secondary outcomes).
Read the detailed description

This will be a pilot study performed as a randomized controlled prospective study of patients admitted to the general medical floors at MetroHealth Medical Center (MHMC). This study will be an add-on investigation to an original funded study: "Evaluation of Screening Tools for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in Hospitalized Medical Patients: A Validation Study" (the STOMP study).

In the STOMP study, patients admitted Sunday through Thursday (day or night) to MHMC who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria and are willing to participate in the study will complete the STOMP study by undergoing an in-hospital PSG (within 48 hours of admission to the medical floor). Those who's PSG shows clinically significant OSA (an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > 5) will be approached for participation in this study. It is anticipated that at least 50 patients from the STOMP study will be eligible for randomization into this study. Participants will be randomized into an auto-adjusting Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (ACPAP) (ResMed S9) arm or a standard therapy arm (control - no specific therapy for OSA other than possibly supplemental nocturnal oxygen if deemed necessary by the clinicians caring for the patient). Those randomized to ACPAP will continue this therapy until they undergo a repeat diagnostic sleep study (PSG) and then, if indicated, a titration PSG as an outpatient. Those in the standard therapy arm will receive no specific treatment for their OSA until they undergo a a repeat diagnostic study and then, if indicated, a full night titration PSG as an outpatient. Once the titration PSG has taken place, subjects will be changed to fixed CPAP and followed for an additional 6-8 weeks to assess compliance with therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Auto-adjusting CPAPDevice

    Also called ResMed S9-Autoset CPAP

    A CPAP device that auto-adjusts the pressure setting over the course of the night, depending on how the patient is breathing.

Study groups in NCT01556464
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ACPAPExperimentalPatients in the intervention group will be introduced to the auto-adjusting CPAP (ACPAP) (ResMed S9) during the day and placed on it at night with a nocturnal oximetry and ACPAP download to assess its effectiveness and pressure requirements. The intervention is the application of the ACPAP. The patients will be discharged on ACPAP pressure determined by the ACPAP download (95th percentile pressure in absence of significant air leak) and will be scheduled for an outpatient repeat diagnostic PSG and, if indicated, a full night titration study.
Receives: Device: Auto-adjusting CPAP
ControlNo interventionThe control group will receive nocturnal oxygen or no therapy while in the hospital and after discharge at the discretion of the attending physician. They will be scheduled for outpatient repeat diagnostic PSG and then, if indicated, a full night titration study.

What is being measured

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

  1. In-hospital complications

    Intubation, acute hypercapnia, need for supplemental oxygen, urgent respiratory support, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) transfer, arrhythmia, heart atack (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), delerium, death

    Measured: During hospitalization - anticipated average of 3 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. CPAP compliance

    CPAP compliance at 3 months after hospitalization

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Length of stay

    Length of hospital stay

    Measured: In-hospital time - expected average of 3 days

  3. Readmission rate

    90 day readmission rate

    Measured: 3 months after hospitalization

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 6 inclusion and 12 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 10 Dec 2018. 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. 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 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?

In-hospital complications (time frame: During hospitalization - anticipated average of 3 days). 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 NCT01556464, which also lists 6 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 10 Dec 2018.
