About this study

In the protocol "Predicting therapeutic outcome of mandibular advancement device treatment in obstructive sleep apnea (PROMAD)", 100 patients with obstructive sleep apnea are included and started MAD treatment at 75% of maximal protrusion. All patients underwent polysomnography with MAD in situ to evaluate the effect of the MAD on severity of sleep apnea. If the results of the polysomnography with MAD are unsuccessful (defined as a reduction in AHI with the MAD in situ of less than 50% compared to baseline), the therapy needs to be adjusted. Finding the most effective protrusion should be a weighted compromise between efficacy and side-effects of MAD therapy.

In patients with insufficient results on the polysomnography with the MAD at 75% of maximal protrusion, the MAD will be further adjusted until 90% of the maximal protrusion measured at the follow-up visit after the polysomnography with the MAD. After habituation and adaptation period but within 2 months after the first polysomnography with MAD, a new polysomnography will be performed to assess the effect of the 90% protruded position.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Antwerp at 1 site in Belgium.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 20 Jan 2021. 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 Belgium. 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?

Polysomnographic efficacy (time frame: 3 to 6 months after start of therapy). 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 20 Jan 2021.
