Trial summary

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common clinical problem with a reported prevalence of 2% to 4% in the general population. The incidence was double on patients who had a diagnosis of OSA going for orthopedics surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparison Study of Single Dose Morphine and Fentanyl Added to Intrathecal Mixture on Orthopedics Patients With Undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common clinical problem with a reported prevalence of 2% to 4% in the general population. The incidence was double on patients who had a diagnosis of OSA going for orthopedics surgery.

Little literature composed mostly of case reports or small retrospective case-control studies exist examining the use of intrathecal opioids on outcomes in OSA patients is inconclusive. The primary objective of this study is to compare the post operative respiratory effect after single dose intrathecal morphine and intrathecal fentanyl on orthopedics patients who suspected or undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea.

Hypotheses

Undiagnosed OSA patients who received intrathecal morphine are more likely to have respiratory events post-operatively.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized study to compare the post operative respiratory effect after single dose intrathecal morphine (0.1mg) and intrathecal fentanyl (40mcg) on orthopedics patients who suspected or undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea.

Being tested
Morphine, Fentanyl

What participants receive

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

  • MorphineDrug

    Drug: Morphine Depending on the randomization schedule, 0.1mg of morphine or will be added to the intrathecal mixture.

  • FentanylDrug

    Also called Fentanyl-hameln

    Drug: Fentanyl 40mcg Depending on the randomization schedule, 40μg of fentanyl will be added to the intrathecal mixture.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory Rate (RR)

    The end point of the study is to assess the respiratory rate (RR) within 72 hours post-operatively in both arms of the patients.

    Measured: 72 hours post operatively

  2. Heart Rate (HR)

    The end point of the study is to assess the heart rate (HR) within 72 hours post-operatively in both arms of the patients.

    Measured: 72 hours post-operative

  3. Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI)

    The end point of the study is to assess the Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) within 72 hours post-operatively in both arms of the patients.

    Measured: 72 hours post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Morphine and Fentanyl in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea of Adult, run by University of Malaya at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2013. 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 Malaysia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wang Chew Yin (60379494422 ext. 2052, wangcy1836@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Respiratory Rate (RR) (time frame: 72 hours post operatively). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Dec 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
