About this study

This investigation is designed to evaluate the performance (treatment and leak), comfort (subjective feedback), stability (subjective feedback, leak) as well as the participant's overall acceptance of the Saturn mask amongst OSA participants. An important factor in this investigation will be the testing of our two different seal sizes on the participants (small and medium size). A total number of 15 participants who currently use nasal or nasal pillow masks will be recruited for the trial. A subset of participants have been selected based on their anthropometric measurements collected in previous trials using nasal and nasal pillow masks at this site (CIA-103). Participants from previous NZ trials may be recruited into this trial with their consent. All the participants will be recruited by WellSleep, Wellington.

Participants will use the trial mask in home for a period of 7 ± 3 days. Baseline data will be collected from the participant during the first visit, the prior 7 days of CPAP usage data will be downloaded and stored for our analysis. The participant will use the trial device on their usual CPAP/APAP setting and device for the duration of the trial.

This study will be conducted in accordance with ICH/GCP guidelines. No deviation from the protocol will be implemented without prior review and approval of the sponsor except where it may be necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to a research participant. In such case, the deviation will be reported to the sponsor as soon as possible.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Saturn nasal mask in people with Sleep Disordered Breathing and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 1 site 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 20 Apr 2017. 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 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?

Comfort (time frame: Up to 7 ± 3 days in-home). The study lists 7 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 20 Apr 2017.
