About this study

This three-year project aims to

  1. Profile the differentially expressed metabolites in healthy patients with severe Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) before and after six-month continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment
  2. Identify the candidate metabolites involved in biologic pathways attributing to OSA phenotyping and response to CPAP treatment
  3. Validate candidate metabolites in the intermittent-hypoxia model of peripheral monocytes
Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized with chronic intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentations. The sequels of OSA included excessive daytime sleepiness, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive dysfunction which could be reversed with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). A couple of biologic pathways have been associated with the phenotyping of OSA which included craniofacial morphology, ventilator control, body fat distribution/metabolism, and sleepiness vulnerability. Metabolomics, a recently developed technique to detect metabolomic profiles, could help to understand the disease pathophysiology and explore biomarkers. So far, only one paper studied the metabolomic profile in patients with OSA where putative identifications of 14 statistically significant features were profiled. Our pilot study comparing the metabolic profiling in OSA patients randomly assigned to therapeutic and subtherapeutic CPAP showed CPAP treatment did alter the metabolomic profile. Seventeen metabolites in three biologic pathways and 13 metabolites in the six biologic pathways were identified in therapeutic and subtherapeutic CPAP, respectively. Sixteen metabolites in three biologic pathways were identified by comparing two groups. However, there were a couple of weakness in studies in the literature and ours. Furthermore, the direct causal relationship of the profiled metabolites and OSA needs to be clarified. Therefore, we plan to compare the metabolic profiling in control subjects and healthy OSA patients, before and after six-month CPAP treatment, to identify candidate metabolites involved in biologic pathways attributing to phenotyping and response to CPAP treatment. Furthermore, candidate metabolites involved in biologic pathways, especially pathways of ROS, inflammation, and metabolism, will be validated in the intermittent hypoxia model of peripheral monocytes.

Study groups in NCT02130050
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
OSA Patient•male patients aged 30 to 65 yr who are newly diagnosed as severe OSA (AHI >=30/hr)
Control subjects:•male control subjects are recruited from Heath Check-up Center. Subjects who are matched with OSA patients at age (+/-2 yrs), body height (+/-3cm) and body weight (<100 kg: +/-3kg, >100 kg: +/-4kg) are screened. Only subjects who are not sleepy (ESS<10) and have no OSA (AHI<5/hr PSG)

What is being measured

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

  1. The expressed metabolites profiles

    Profiling the differentially expressed metabolites in control subjects and healthy patients with severe OSA before and after six-month CPAP treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 20 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 2 May 2014. 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 Taiwan. 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?

The expressed metabolites profiles (time frame: 6 months). 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 2 May 2014.
