Trial summary

Drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has been performed worldwide since 1991 to determine the site and configuration of upper airway obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, there are no studies comparing DISE to sleep endoscopy during natural sleep. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Natural Sleep Endoscopy and Drug-induced Sleep Endoscopy Among Obstructive Sleep Apnea Subjects Referred for Surgical Treatment

Drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has been performed worldwide since 1991 to determine the site and configuration of upper airway obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, there are no studies comparing DISE to sleep endoscopy during natural sleep. Objectives: To compare DISE to natural sleep endoscopy in OSA patients referred for surgical treatment.

Methods: OSA patients referred to surgical treatment (lateral pharyngoplasty) will be enrolled in this study. Natural sleep endoscopy will be performed at the sleep lab during the night. Propofol induced sleep will be performed at the operating room before surgery. The VOTE (velum, oropharyngeal lateral walls, tongue base and epiglottis) classification will be used to compare site and configuration of collapse between studies. Peak inspiratory flow will also be compared between studies.

Drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has been performed worldwide since 1991 to determine the site and configuration of upper airway obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. However, there are no studies comparing DISE to sleep endoscopy during natural sleep. Objective: to compare natural sleep endoscopy to drug induced sleep with propofol.

The study population will include 28 patients who are candidates to surgical treatment.

Methods Detailed clinical history and physical examination will be performed before natural sleep endoscopy. A 2-hour fast will be required. During both natural sleep and propofol-induced sleep, pharyngeal pressure will be measured using a pressure-tipped catheter (model TC-500XG; Millar).The nasopharynx will be numbed with xylocaine (10%) and oxymetazoline (0.05%), the catheter will be passed through a nasal mask into one nostril, and placed at the tongue base as confirmed by visual inspection of the oropharynx.A 2.8mm pediatric bronchoscope (Olympus) will be passed through the mask and into the other nostril. A nasal mask will be fitted and a heated pneumotachograph with differential pressure transducer connected to the mask will quantify airflow. The endoscope will be located at velopharynx, lateral wall of the pharynx and 2 cm above tongue and epiglottis.The VOTE Endoscopic Classification will be used to describe site and configuration of pharyngeal collapse in each study. The study will be scored by two experienced investigators, blind to the patient identification and type of study (natural sleep or drug-induced). Propofol-induced sleep will be performed at the operating room before surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. The VOTE Endoscopic Classification

    Comparison of site and configuration of endoscopy findings between the natural and drug-induced sleep endoscopy. The VOTE Endoscopic Classification describes the patterns and the degree of obstruction during sleep endoscopy.

    Measured: Immediately, during the procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Peak inspiratory flow

    Peak inspiratory flow measured during both natural and drug-induced sleep endoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sleep endoscopy during propofol induced sleep in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Pedro Rodrigues Genta at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 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 31 Jul 2018. 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 Brazil. 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?

The VOTE Endoscopic Classification (time frame: Immediately, during the procedure). 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 NCT03004014, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jul 2018.
