About this study

The association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiac diastolic dysfunction have been reported, and improvement of diastolic function after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in OSA patients was observed. However, more detailed analysis of diastolic function by supine bicycle exercise echocardiography is lacking. The investigators hypothesized that 3 months of CPAP therapy in OSA patients will significantly improve diastolic functional parameters measured by exercise stress echocardiography. Patients with severe OSA (Apnea-hypopnea index > 30) will be included in this study, and randomized to CPAP versus sham-CPAP group by 1:1 ratio. Supine bicycle exercise echocardiography, pulse wave velocity, 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure (BP), central BP will be checked before and after CPAP therapy and parameters will be compared.

What participants receive

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

  • CPAP groupDevice

    Enrolled patients are randomized to CPAP group or sham-CPAP group by 1:1 ratio. The patients in each group will undergo CPAP or sham-CPAP for 3 months.

  • sham-CPAP groupDevice

    Enrolled patients are randomized to CPAP group or sham-CPAP group by 1:1 ratio. The patients in each group will undergo CPAP or sham-CPAP for 3 months. Sham CPAP consists of a CPAP machine that is modified to include a large hidden leak in the exhaust port of the mask to disperse the therapeutic pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. The differences of supine bicycle exercise echocardiographic parameters and PWV before and after CPAP therapy, and between CPAP group and sham CPAP group.

    The differences of supine bicycle exercise echocardiogrphic parameters (diastolic function grade, mitral inflow parameters, mitral tissue doppler parameters, E/E') and PWV before and after CPAP therapy, and between CPAP group and sham CPAP group.

    Measured: after 3 months intervention (CPAP)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP group in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2017. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The differences of supine bicycle exercise echocardiographic parameters and PWV before and after CPAP therapy, and between CPAP group and sham CPAP group. (time frame: after 3 months intervention (CPAP)). 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 NCT01854398, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Jan 2017.
