About this study

This study seeks to understand the physical, physiologic and biologic features that predispose a woman to the development of obstructive sleep apnea once they are exposed to the cardiopulmonary and metabolic physiological changes of pregnancy. Knowing these specific predictive factors can help identify a population at risk and guide clinicians to develop suitable targeting screening strategies.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be recruited from multiple community and hospital-based practices that care for pregnant women. Subjects will have:

  1. measurements of body composition
  2. anthropometric measures
  3. sleep and mood questionnaires
  4. Home sleep studies
  5. blood testing for biological markers
  6. salivary testing for hormonal markers
  7. pulmonary function tests and upper airway patency measurements

Women without sleep apnea at enrollment will then be followed longitudinally for the development of obstructive sleep apnea during pregnancy with repeat assessment during their third trimester. Women diagnosed with sleep apnea at enrollment will have no further assessment in late pregnancy.

Monetary incentives will also be issued at data collection points. Subjects will receive small gift incentives such as baby-related items.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characteristics of participants who develop obstructive sleep apnea defined as an apnea hypopnea index >5 events per hour

    The study will develop a model of biologic, physiologic and anthropometric measures that predict the development of obstructive sleep apnea apnea later in pregnancy compared to baseline in early pregnancy.

    Measured: Up to 40 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Pregnancy, run by The Miriam Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 2 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Characteristics of participants who develop obstructive sleep apnea defined as an apnea hypopnea index >5 events per hour (time frame: Up to 40 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02917876, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Nov 2024.
