Trial summary

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common condition that may induce hemodynamic and metabolic dysregulation. However, it is not clear if OSA is a mere epiphenomenon or contributes to increase the morbidity associated with metabolic syndrome. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome: A Randomized Study

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common condition that may induce hemodynamic and metabolic dysregulation. However, it is not clear if OSA is a mere epiphenomenon or contributes to increase the morbidity associated with metabolic syndrome. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of OSA treatment with CPAP in consecutive patients with metabolic syndrome.

Being tested
CPAP (REMstar System One Plus - Philips Medical Systems), Nasal strips
Medical subject headings
Sleep Apnea Syndromes, Metabolic Syndrome

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CPAP (REMstar System One Plus - Philips Medical Systems) and Nasal strips in people with Sleep Apnea and Metabolic Syndrome, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 8 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 18 Jun 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 Brazil. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

Reversibility of Metabolic Syndrome criteria (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT02295202, 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 18 Jun 2020.
