Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to check blood and urine levels to further define markers/tests in the blood and urine that would be useful in following patients with obstructive sleep apnea and then to see if by wearing CPAP every night, these markers can be reduced. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to check blood and urine levels to further define markers/tests in the blood and urine that would be useful in following patients with obstructive sleep apnea and then to see if by wearing CPAP every night, these markers can be reduced. This research is being done because currently there are no effective blood or urine markers to determine how well CPAP is working.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is to further define biomarkers that would be useful in following patients with obstructive sleep apnea and examining their response to compliance to therapy with CPAP. To date no correlation between biomarkers of oxidative stress and compliance to CPAP has been measured. CPAP is the most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and has been show to reduce blood pressure and decrease oxidative stress.

Sleep apneaThose suspected of sleep apnea and scheduled for polysomnography and treated with CPAP therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determining biomarkers for polysomnography characteristics before and after CPAP treatment

    The primary objective of this pilot study will determine the biomarkers for polysomnography characteristics with CPAP treatment from baseline to 6 months in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The results will guide biomarker selection for full scale studies.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Georgetown University at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 28 Aug 2014. 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 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?

Determining biomarkers for polysomnography characteristics before and after CPAP treatment (time frame: 6 months). 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 28 Aug 2014.
