About this study

Official title: Differences in Predicted Therapeutic Outcome of Oral Appliance and Optimal Protrusion Position Determined by Remotely Controlled Mandibular Positioner (RCMP) With Overnight PSG in Quebec Versus Shenyang Patients With OSA

Study Objective: To explore the differences in predicted therapeutic outcome of OA and optimal protrusion position determined by Remotely Controlled Mandibular Positioner (RCMP) with overnight PSG in Quebec versus Shenyang patients with OSA.

Design: A prospective, inter-ethnic pilot study. Setting: Two Standard sleep disorder clinical care in Quebec (Canada) and Shenyang (China), with oral appliance titration tests performed in sleep laboratory.

Participants: Consecutive specific OSA patients, who are potential candidates for treatment of OSA with an oral appliance (n=100, 50 Canadian, 50 Chinese), will be recruited from a sleep center or respirologists, psychiatrists, otolaryngologist and dentists practicing with broad inclusion criteria (age: 20-75 years, AHI:15-50/h; BMI<40 kg/m2).

Interventions: A mandibular protrusive titration study in the PSG lab using a RCMP not only predicts the eventual therapeutic outcome but also prospectively determines Optimal Protrusive Position (OPP) for participants predicted to be therapeutically successful with OA therapy. One goal of this study is to identify OA favorable candidates by physicians using prospectively and explicitly designed criteria. Analyses of the predicted therapeutic outcome of OA and OPP between the two ethnic populations (patients in Quebec and Shenyang) will be processed after matching for OSA severity.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Remotely Controlled Mandibular Positioner (RCMP)Device

    RCMP device can accurately identify patients who are likely to be successful OA candidates. With a temporary dental appliance connected to a RCMP, the mandible could be progressively, mildly and precisely protruded in only anterior-posterior dimension, under the monitor of PSG, without disturbing sleep, until obstructive apneas and hypopneas were eliminated, particularly in REM sleep while supine. Besides, RCMP device can also determine the optimal therapeutic level of mandibular protrusion during sleep.

What is being measured

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

  1. The differences of predicted therapeutic outcome of OA between two groups.

    To identify and compare the number of OA favorable candidates by physicians using prospectively and explicitly designed criteria in both groups.

    Measured: 2017.7-2017.11

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The differences of optimal protrusion position determined by Remotely Controlled Mandibular Positioner (RCMP) with overnight PSG in Quebec versus Shenyang patients with OSA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Remotely Controlled Mandibular Positioner, run by First Hospital of China Medical University at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 27 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada, China. 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?

The differences of predicted therapeutic outcome of OA between two groups. (time frame: 2017.7-2017.11). 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 NCT03231254, 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 27 Jul 2017.
