Trial summary

Prospective, follow-up registry of heart failure patients with or without sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). To test the hypothesis that treatment of nocturnal central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes respiration by adaptive servoventilation (ASV) improves symptoms, cardiac performance and event-free survival.

About this study

Prospective, follow-up registry of heart failure patients with or without sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). To test the hypothesis that treatment of nocturnal central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes respiration by adaptive servoventilation (ASV) improves symptoms, cardiac performance and event-free survival.

Read the detailed description

The study is intended to investigate therapeutic effects of adaptive servoventilation in patients with sleep-disordered breathing and chronic heart failure. These effects include short-/long-term effects on

  • symptoms and quality of life
  • physical and cardiac performance (6min walking test, cardiopulmonary exercise testing)
  • echocardiographic parameters
  • arrhythmias
  • NT-proBNP
  • Respiratory stability (blood gases, rebreathing test, VE/VCO2-slope in cardiopulmonary exercise testing)
  • Compliance with ASV therapy
  • Event free survival (death, heart transplantation, assist device implantation)

All of these data are also obtained in patients who basically meet the inclusion criteria but in whom sleep-disordered breathing was excluded by means of cardiorespiratory polygraphy or polysomnography and in patients with sleep-disordered breathing who do not undergo adaptive servoventilation for various reasons.

What is being measured

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

  1. Influence of adaptive servoventilation on heart failure parameters including event free survival

    This prospective registry includes heart failure patients with or without accompanied sleep-disordered breathing and investigates its influence on symptoms, cardiac function and performance, quality of life and outcome.

    Measured: Time frame for event free survival analysis is up to 8 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, Congestive and Sleep Apnea Syndromes, run by Ruhr University of Bochum at 1 site in Germany.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2019. 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 Germany. 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?

Influence of adaptive servoventilation on heart failure parameters including event free survival (time frame: Time frame for event free survival analysis is up to 8 years). 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 Sep 2019.
