About this study

There is a fundamental gap in the investigators ability to design effective surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for the 30-40% of patients who cannot tolerate non-surgical treatment. OSA surgery outcomes vary widely, with the chances of a successful outcome ranging from 5% to 65% for individual or combination procedures. To predict - and thereby to improve - outcomes, the investigators must determine what predicts surgical success. This project will compare findings from two evaluations: drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and upper airway magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DISE has demonstrated important benefits, but it has important limitations. Upper airway MRI is the most complete evaluation performed during wakefulness, making it conducive to broad application and less expensive than DISE, but there are no studies utilizing MRI as a surgical evaluation. The investigators propose a cross-sectional analysis of 40 adult subjects with moderate to severe OSA. In addition to history, physical examination, and polysomnogram (sleep study), all subjects will undergo DISE and MRI to characterize the pattern of obstruction. The investigators will examine the association between DISE and MRI, focusing on specific DISE findings that have been associated with surgical outcomes. The investigators multidisciplinary team has substantial expertise and experience in OSA investigation, DISE, and upper airway MRI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical results

    Surgical outcomes will be measured using sleep study outcomes (apnea-hypopnea index). The analysis will include evaluation of a potential association between surgical outcomes and both MRI and DISE measures.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sleep-Related Quality of Life

    Sleep-related quality of life will be assessed with the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire. Changes will be determined by a comparison of preoperative and postoperative scores.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Daytime Sleepiness

    Daytime sleepiness will be assessed with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale score. Changes will be determined by a comparison of preoperative and postoperative scores.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by University of Southern California 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 2 inclusion and 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2023. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Surgical results (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 14 Aug 2023.
