About this study

Official title: The Evaluation of the Sleep-Breathing Treatment Algorithm: AutoEPAP iVAPS

This study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new therapy (Automatic Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure with intelligent Volume Assured Pressure Support (AutoEPAP iVAPS)) designed to treat respiratory insufficiency, respiratory failure and/or nocturnal hypoventilation with upper airway obstruction. The study will be performed in two phases: In a sleep unit and in the home environment. The new therapy will be compared against two existing ventilator therapies: "Spontaneous Timed (ST) mode" and "Intelligent Volume Assured Pressure Support (iVAPS)".

Read the detailed description

Phase I: AutoEPAP iVAPS will be compared against two existing ventilator therapies: "Spontaneous Timed (ST) mode" and "Intelligent Volume Assured Pressure Support (Fixed EPAP iVAPS)" in current NIV users with respiratory insufficiency and /or respiratory failure due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD),Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) or Neuromuscular Disease (NMD). Patients will spend a total of 3 nights in the sleep laboratory in the three modes described above. The apnoea-hypopnoea index will be the primary outcome measure.

Phase II: AutoEPAP iVAPS will be compared to ST mode over a period of 7 nights in the patients' home. The mean EPAP setting of each device will be the primary outcome measure.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard ST ModeActive comparatorParticipants underwent the first PSG study (Titration Night 1) on ST Mode ( prior to going on AutoEPAP iVAPS or Fixed EPAP iVAPS) whilst receiving their standard NIV therapy through the clinical trial device "Juno". During this mode the participant's current NIV settings were reviewed and re-titrated to deliver optimal therapy.
Receives: Device: Juno
AutoEPAP iVAPSExperimentalParticipants underwent a PSG study on the AutoEPAP iVAPS mode on either Night 2 or Night 3 according to their computer generated randomisation. Participants were randomised (1:1) according to a computer-generated randomised list (Microsoft Excel 2010) to receive 'AutoEPAP iVAPS' or 'FixedEPAP iVAPS' therapy mode first.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI)

    The number of apneas and hypopnoeas per hour of sleep measured using AutoEPAP iVAPS versus Fixed EPAP iVAPS

    Measured: 1 night

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Oxygen Desaturation Index

    Number of oxygen desaturations per hour of sleep

    Measured: 1 night

  2. Mean Oxygen Saturation

    Mean oxygen saturation recorded in the total sleep time

    Measured: 1 night

  3. Time Spent Below 90% Oxygen Saturation

    Time in minutes that the oxygen saturation was below 90%

    Measured: 1 night

  4. Mean Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide (PtcCo2)

    Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide measurement (TcCO2)

    Measured: 1 night

  5. Sleep Duration

    Time spent asleep

    Measured: 1 Night

  6. Sleep Efficacy

    Sleep time divided by total time available for sleep

    Measured: 1 Night

  7. Sleep Latency-Wake After Sleep Onset Time

    Time awake in minutes after initial sleep onset

    Measured: 1 Night

  8. Total Sleep Time Spent in Each Sleep Stage

    Percentage of total sleep time spent in each sleep stage (ie. N1, N2, N3 and REM)

    Measured: 1 Night

  9. Number of Respiratory Event Related Arousals/ Hour

    Total number of respiratory event related arousals/hr over the entire sleep period

    Measured: 1 Night

  10. Number of Spontaneous Arousals/Hour

    Number of spontaneous arousals/hr occurring over the entire total sleep time

    Measured: 1 Night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Juno in people with Respiratory Insufficiency and Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome, run by ResMed at 2 sites in Australia.

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 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Australia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jun 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI) (time frame: 1 night). 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 8 Jun 2021.
