About this study

The level of knowledge about the consequences of oropharyngeal cancer treatment on sleep quality remains poor. Because of a high level of risk of developing an Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), an accurate evaluation of the prevalence, of the risk factors and of the impact on quality of life is important in order to propose preventive and therapeutic solutions to these patients.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) remains poorly documented in head and neck cancer cancer population, who have a higher risk than the general population. OSAS is a risk factor for quality of life impairment and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

This study proposes to carry out an OSAS prevalence study among a locally advanced head and neck cancer population, already treated and to compare the consequences of current therapeutic options in sleep quality.The primary research objective will be a prevalence determination in a locally advanced stages treated population of oropharyngeal cancer. Secondary objectives will be the comparison of the prevalence between the surgical group and the radio-chemotherapy group, the research of predictive factors of presenting an OSAS and the precision of the impact on quality of life.

Treatment for oropharyngeal cancer by surgeryExperimentalDisease-free patients treated for locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer for over 12 months by surgery
Receives: Procedure: Surgery
Treatment for oropharyngeal cancer by radio-chemotherapyExperimentalDisease-free patients treated for locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer for over 12 months by radio-chemotherapy
Receives: Radiation: Radio- chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Measuring the index of apneas and hypopneas (IAH), defined by the number of apneas per sleep hour

    For an IAH <10: no Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) For an IAH>30: severe OSAS is diagnosed

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Surgery and Radio- chemotherapy in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Oropharyngeal Cancer, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 7 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 29 Aug 2016. 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 France. 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?

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?

Measuring the index of apneas and hypopneas (IAH), defined by the number of apneas per sleep hour (time frame: 1 day). 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 29 Aug 2016.
