About this study

Official title: Revised Algorithm for Next Generation DeVilbiss AutoAdjust CPAP

The purpose of this protocol is to improve the current FDA-approved continuous positive pressure auto-titration algorithm, including treatment precision, residual disease detection characteristics and phenotyping with the DeVilbiss brand AutoAdjust CPAP device.

Being tested
DeVilbiss AutoAdjust CPAP with revised algorithm

What participants receive

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

  • DeVilbiss AutoAdjust CPAP with revised algorithmDevice

    Subjects attended a one-night polysomnogram (PSG) titration study. DeVilbiss AutoAdjust CPAP with a revised algorithm was compared to hand-scored PSG to determine whether the machine results were equivalent to hand scores. Each subject acted as their own control for assessing accuracy of sleep event analysis and prescribed CPAP pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. % Agreement Between Reviewer and Machine Pressure Settings During Sleep Study

    The primary objective for the study was demonstrating effectiveness of therapy provided by the DeVilbiss AutoAdjust device as reported by the expert human reviewer. The primary endpoint was that expert human reviewer should agree with pressure changes made by the machine during each 20-minute epoch at least 80% of the time. Expert human reviewer reviewed each study and made a determination at 20-minute time points, in context of REM/NON-REM sleep and supine/non-supine positions, marking the machine pressure response with an "agree" or "disagree." Pressure changes might show no change, increase or decrease during the 20-minute epoch.

    Measured: 1 night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DeVilbiss AutoAdjust CPAP with revised algorithm in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by DeVilbiss Healthcare LLC 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 7 inclusion and 18 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 29 May 2015. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Apr 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

% Agreement Between Reviewer and Machine Pressure Settings During Sleep Study (time frame: 1 night). 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 29 May 2015.
