About this study

Official title: DiaBOSA: Impact of CPAP Treatment on Arterial Stiffness in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Newly Diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

The purpose of the trial is to investigate the effects of three months' treatment with a CPAP-device versus control group on change in arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with newly detected Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).

Read the detailed description

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common disorder characterised by recurrent episodes of apnoea or hypopnoea during sleep. OSA is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness and linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. OSA can be alleviated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment.

Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of decreased life expectancy, morbidity and reduced quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Increased stiffness of the aorta has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.

Previous studies have reported a much higher frequency of OSA in patients with obesity and T2D compared with non-diabetic subjects, and found that OSA was associated with arterial stiffness. However, whether CPAP treatment improves arterial stiffness and insulin sensitivity in T2D patients remain to be elucidated.

Objective: To investigate the effects of three months' treatment with a CPAP-device versus sham CPAP on change in arterial stiffness in T2D patients with newly detected OSA.

Design: Randomised, controlled, multicentre study of intervention with CPAP treatment versus control group. The treatment period is three months with a subsequent 9 months open extension.

Patient population: 70 patients with T2D and newly diagnosed OSA recruited from Department of Cardiology, Nephrology and Endocrinology, Nordsjællands Hospital, Department of Endocrinology, Gentofte University Hospital, Department of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital Nørrebrogade and Department of Internal Medicine, Silkeborg Sygehus.

Intervention: CPAP treatment versus control group.

Endpoints:

Primary endpoint: Change in arterial stiffness measured by office carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) from start to end of 12 weeks intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP in people with Diabetes and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Nordsjaellands Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2017. 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 Denmark. 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?

Contact Anne Banghøj, MD (anne.margareta.banghoej@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in arterial stiffness measured by office carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) from start to end of 12 weeks intervention (time frame: three month). 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 NCT02482584, 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 28 Mar 2017.
