About this study

Official title: Is Sleep Disordered Breathing During Pregnancy a Modifiable Risk Factor for Fetal Growth Restriction?

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) during pregnancy is a modifiable risk factor for poor maternal and fetal outcomes. The investigators propose a prospective observational study to assess the utility of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) administration (intervention) during pregnancy to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity. Secondarily, we will also perform a cohort study to assess the incidence of antenatal sleep-disordered breathing as measured by ambulatory sleep monitoring applied in the hospital setting.

Read the detailed description

Hypothesis:

CPAP application in SDB-diagnosed parturients will decrease fetal and maternal morbidity.

Specific Aims:

  1. To screen women after their first trimester of pregnancy that are at risk for carrying babies with fetal growth restriction (FGR) for presence of SDB (FGR is commonly diagnosed at 20 weeks gestation by ultrasound as standard of care) and to follow their diagnosis and treatment with CPAP, as per standard of care, for the remainder of their pregnancy or order to follow fetal and maternal outcomes.
  2. Screen = parturients affirm presence of snoring. b. Screen positive parturients are further assessed with 1-2 nights of ambulatory sleep and respiration monitor to confirm SDB b. SDB positive parturients are offered treatment, as per standard of care, with CPAP.
  3. Screen positive parturients are reassessed with 1-2 nights of ambulatory sleep monitoring (whether or not CPAP is eventually applied) at two more intervals during pregnancy (during second and third trimesters), and then 6-8 weeks after delivery.

This study is designed as a prospective observational cohort study in order establish the concurrence of the disease (SDB) as it occurs with the increased "risk" or exposure to the vulnerable state (pregnancy) and presence of diagnosed fetal growth restriction. In addition, parturients who test positive for SDB will be assessed by a pulmonologist and offered standard of care therapy with CPAP, as appropriate. CPAP use will then be followed and assessed as a mitigating intervention to blunt fetal growth restriction. This study is a pilot in that we hope to establish the incidence of co-morbidities in order to appropriately plan for an adequate sample size in future intervention studies. Given the large overall parturient population that will be available to the study team, we believe that in one calendar year we will observe sufficient patients to establish the relationship of SDB during the antenatal pregnancy and fetal growth restriction.

What participants receive

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

  • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)Device

    Also called APAP, PAP

    FGR diagnosed parturients who are diagnosed with OSA will be prescribed CPAP as per standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of Fetal Growth Restriction at Birth

    expressed as a percentile of predicted weight

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in estimated fetal weight based on crossing nomograms

    estimated growth of fetus by gestational age will be plotted and compared to group who did not receive CPAP

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in people with Sleep Apnea and Pregnancy, run by Hadassah Medical Organization.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 11 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Yehuda Ginosar, M.D. (yginosar@icloud.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Presence of Fetal Growth Restriction at Birth (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 11 Jan 2016.
