Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorders characterized by intermittent obstructions of the upper airway during sleep. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) has been shown to be the most efficacious treatment for OSA. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Multinight (MNT) CPAP Titration Algorithm in Patients With Sleep Apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorders characterized by intermittent obstructions of the upper airway during sleep. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) has been shown to be the most efficacious treatment for OSA. It consists of a small device that provides positive airway pressure delivered by a mask attached to the patients nose/mouth.

Read the detailed description

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the multinight (MNT) algorithm on patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) over 45 nights while using a CPAP machine at home. The researchers are evaluating the performance of the existing algorithm as well as capturing the data to make enhancements.

Two main stages of this algorithm will be assessed:

  1. Fast Track (FT) stage. In the FT stage the aim is to assess if the algorithm reliably and timely reaches approximate therapeutic pressure levels. ii. Slow Titration (ST). In the Slow Titration stage the aim is to assess if data samples have been appropriately collected in a pressure range so that the therapeutic pressure can be inferred according to the algorithm proposed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CPAP machine with MNT algorithmOther

    Also called ICON PLUS

    The multinight (MNT) algorithm will be evaluated on patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) over multiple nights while using CPAP in the home for a total of 45 days. In particular the main goal is to assess the behavior of the two main stages of the algorithm:

    1. Fast Track (FT) stage. Assesses if the algorithm reliably and timely reaches approximate therapeutic pressure levels.
    2. Slow Titration (ST) stage.Assesses if data samples are appropriately collected in a pressure range so that the therapeutic pressure can be inferred according to the algorithm proposed.
    3. Five days with standard auto titration.
    4. MNT algorithm : 7 days (maximum) with Fast Track mode, 27 days (maximum) in Slow Titration mode. After PMNT is found, the device remains at PMNT for 5 sessions. Total approximately 45 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in number of residual events between high and low pressure levels

    Residual events are represented by a given sleep disordered breathing index SDBIndex

    Measured: 45 days

  2. Pressure level obtained during the MNT Fast Track stage

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Number of days required to reach Fast Track pressure

    Measured: 7 days

  4. Number of times the algorithm returns to Slow Track from the Fast Track stage

    Measured: 45 days

  5. Variance in average obstruction of the upper airway during sleep measured by Obstruction Index (OI)

    Measured: 3 hours

  6. Difference between pressure derived from multinight algorithm (PMNT) and Fast Track pressure

    Measured: 45 days

  7. Difference between PMNT and sleep lab diagnosed CPAP pressure

    Measured: 45 days

  8. Number of residual events while using the PMNT function

    Measured: 45 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Average comfort rating using CPAP with multinight automated titration

    Measured: 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP machine with MNT algorithm in people with Sleep Apnea and Sleep Disordered Breathing, run by NYU Langone Health 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 11 Dec 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 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 stopped early (reason given: PI has left the institution). 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?

Difference in number of residual events between high and low pressure levels (time frame: 45 days). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Dec 2017.
