Trial summary

This project is focused on the treatment of severe obstructive sleep apnea with pulmonary artery denervation (PADN). Although it has now been proved that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the primary treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, on the other hand, there is evidence that 25 to 50% of patients can… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Artery Denervation to Treat Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea: a Single-center, Prospective, First-in-man Study(PADN-OSA)

This project is focused on the treatment of severe obstructive sleep apnea with pulmonary artery denervation (PADN). Although it has now been proved that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the primary treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, on the other hand, there is evidence that 25 to 50% of patients can not tolerate CPAP.

The investigators previously reported the safety and efficacy of pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) for treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Excessive sympathetic activation play an important role in the occurrence and development of OSA and cause cardiovascular events. It is worth evaluating the feasibility and tolerance of introducing PADN at the severe stage of obstructive sleep apnea. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of PADN in the treatment of severe OSA.

What participants receive

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

  • Pulmonary Arterial DenervationProcedure or surgery

    Contrast pulmonary artery (PA) angiography was performed to localize the pulmonary artery bifurcation level and calculate the PA diameter.Once the anatomy was deemed acceptable, the radiofrequency ablation catheter was introduced into the distal bifurcation area of the main PA.This was then maneuvered within the PA to allow energy delivery to ensure that the electrodes were tightly in contact with the endovascular surface. About two to three ablations at 1-15 W for 240 seconds each point were performed in the distal bifurcation area of the main PA.

  • Sham procedureProcedure or surgery

    patient in the sham group will receive sham procedure

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the absolute change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale from baseline to follow-up

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pulmonary Arterial Denervation in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 22 Jul 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of patients meeting the criteria for admission). 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?

the change from baseline to month 6 in apnea-hypopnea index (time frame: Baseline and 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 22 Jul 2020.
