About this study

Official title: The Evaluation of an Alternative Sizing Model in Comparison of a Conventional Sizing Model for Full-face Masks in the Treatment of OSA in Terms of Performance and Comfort

The investigation is a prospective non-blinded and semi-randomized clinical investigation. The investigation is designed to assess the alternative sizing model which the trial mask concept is based on and how it compares to a conventional sizing present in the Prototype Full Face Mask (PFFM) mask.

Read the detailed description

The investigation is a prospective non-blinded and semi-randomized investigation. The investigation is designed to assess the alternative sizing model which the trial mask concept is based on and how it compares to a conventional sizing present in the Prototype Full Face Mask (PFFM) mask. A cohort of up to 38 pre-determined current nasal and full face mask users will be recruited by Fisher \& Paykel Healthcare in Auckland New Zealand, Waikato DHB in Hamilton New Zealand, Hawkes Bay DHB in Hastings New Zealand and WellSleep Centre in Wellington New Zealand.

The study will involve baseline (visit one) gathering the participants' prescribed PAP therapy pressure and their usual mask (to have up-to-date records). The next visit (visit 2) 7 ± 4 days after visit 1, the participants will be fit the Prototype Full Face Mask (PFFM) mask or the alternative sizing based trial mask. At visit 3, which will be after 7 ± 4 days from visit 2, the participants will be crossed over to the mask. At visit 4, 7 ± 4 days after visit 3, all masks and devices will be collected from the participants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alternative sizing model based trial mask and Prototype Full Face Mask in people with Sleep Disordered Breathing and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 4 sites in New Zealand.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in New Zealand. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Seal Comfort (time frame: Up to 3 weeks in-home). The study lists 3 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 18 Apr 2018.
