About this study

Official title: Validation Study of the WatchPAT 200 in the Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children 4-12 Years of Age

Validation study of a novel sleep Device compared to a traditional sleep study.

Read the detailed description

This is an investigator-initiated validation study for the WatchPAT 200 device compared to the gold standard polysomnography procedure (sleep study). To evaluate the accuracy of the WatchPAT device compared to an in-laboratory Polysomnogram (PSG), measurements including obstructive apnea hypopnea index (OAHI), apnea hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and other relevant sleep parameteres and indices will be compared. Ultimately, the diagnostic agreement of the WatchPAT device in detecting between normal sleep and mild sleep apnea architecture will be assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peripheral Arterial Tone Apnea-hypopnea Index (PAHI)

    Compare the results to the subjects clinical sleep study results. The PAHI measures presence of sleep apnea. Scores are counts of respiratory events per hour. A score of more than 2 indicates obstructive sleep apnea. Mild = 2-4.9, Moderate = 5-9.9, Severe = 10 or more.

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Peripheral Arterial Tone Respiratory Disturbance Index (PRDI)

    Peripheral index from the device sensor as measured on the skin, similar to a pulse oximeter. Count of respiratory events that do not meet the criteria for apnea, but that cause a disturbance in sleep.

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

  2. Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI)

    Peripheral index from the device sensor similar to a pulse oximeter. Number of desaturations by 3 percent in 1 hour.

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

  3. Sleep Staging: Light and Deep

    Overall sleep architecture parameters as reported on the Sleep Study PSG final report. Includes hyponogram that outlines the percentage of total sleep time spent in each stage of sleep (N1, N2, N3-4, and REM).

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

  4. Oxygen Saturation

    Amount of oxygen present in the subjects blood via pulse oximetry.

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

  5. Heart Rate

    Documentation of the Subjects heart rate.

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

  6. Body Position

    Body position of sleeping subject to reflect upon overall sleep hygiene such as prone, supine, back, stomach, etc.

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

  7. Sleep Time (Total)

    The Total Sleep Duration time in minutes as recorded by the PSG.

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

  8. Sleep Staging: REM

    Overall sleep architecture parameters as reported on the Sleep Study PSG final report. Includes hyponogram that outlines the percentage of total sleep time spent in each stage of sleep (N1, N2, N3-4, and REM).

    Measured: Up to 10 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing WatchPAT Intervention in people with Sleep Apnea Syndromes and Sleep Disorder, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 7 inclusion and 13 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 21 Apr 2021. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Apr 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Peripheral Arterial Tone Apnea-hypopnea Index (PAHI) (time frame: Up to 10 hours). 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 21 Apr 2021.
