About this study

Official title: Prospective Interventional Study Investigating the Effect of Beginning a Renal Replacement Therapy on Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Its Correlation With Overhydration, in End Stage Renal Disease Patients

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of beginning a renal replacement therapy on fluid overload and its consequence on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea, in patients with end stage chronic kidney disease. It aims further to investigate the relationship between overhydration, nocturnal rostral fluid shift and the severity of sleep apnea.

Read the detailed description

The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea increases with progressing renal insufficiency. Recent observations suggest a causative relationship between overnight fluid displacement from the legs to the neck soft tissues and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. We suspect that this pathophysiologic mechanism could explain the increased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with fluid overload, including chronic renal failure.

The beginning of a renal replacement therapy modify the fluid balance of the end stage renal disease patients and could therefore impact on the severity of sleep apnea in this population.

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the hypothesis that the transition from untreated end stage renal disease and a renal replacement therapy decreases the severity of sleep apnea, by a reduction of the fluid overload and of the nocturnal rostral fluid shift.

The severity of obstructive sleep apnea is measured by two attended polysomnographies (PSG), a baseline PSG performed before and a follow-up PSG performed 6 month after beginning of a renal replacement therapy. Overhydration and leg fluid are evaluated by bioimpedance, performed at the beginning and at the end of each polysomnography. Patients who have not yet begun a renal replacement therapy 6 months after the baseline PSG will be re-assessed and will be analyzed as control group

What is being measured

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

  1. obstructive sleep apnea severity

    Reduction of the obstructive sleep apnea severity, measured by attended polysomnography, six months after beginning of a renal replacement therapy

    Measured: six months (before and after beginning of a renal replacement therapy)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. nocturnal leg fluid volume shift

    Reduction in nocturnal leg fluid volume shift between the legs and the neck, measured by bioimpedance and neck circumference six months after beginning of a renal replacement therapy

    Measured: six months (before and after beginning of a renal replacement therapy)

  2. relationship between overhydration, leg fluid volume shift, ankle and neck circumference and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea

    Measured: one night

  3. periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD)

    Measured: six months (before and after beginning of a renal replacement therapy)

  4. severity of central sleep apnea syndrome

    Measured: six months (before and after renal beginning of a renal replacement therapy)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Renal replacement therapy in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2020. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

obstructive sleep apnea severity (time frame: six months (before and after beginning of a renal replacement 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 5 Aug 2020.
