About this study

Objectives: Evaluate the effect of CPAP to reduce the progression of chronic kidney disease or CKD (the decline of glomerular filtration rate is ≥ 30%) in patients with early-stage renal disease and sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Other objectives are; determine the prevalence of OSAS in patients with early-stage renal disease and evaluate the changes in inflamatories markers and endothelial damage, the state of KDIGO, cardiovascular events, mortality and cost-effectiveness analysis in CPAP group versus non-CPAP group patients.

Methods: A prospective, multicentric, randomized and controlled study will be carried out for 3 years. Early-stage renal disease (G1-3 KDIGO) and OSAS patients will be included. The investigators will make a respiratory polygraphy to determinate OSAS (AHI ≥15/h) and after that, the investigators randomized patients in 2 groups; CPAP group and control group (non-CPAP treatment). Patients with AHI <15/h (non-OSAS) will be the reference group and the half of these patients, randomly chosen, will be followed up at the end of the follow up.

Statistic analysis: the investigators will analyze the differences in glomerular filtration rate before and after the treatment, comparing the percentage of patients with CKD progression for both groups. The investigators will use the chi square test with raw data and adjusted for confounding variables using intention to treat analysis with imputation of missing values.

Read the detailed description

There is a bidirectional involvement between the chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The declining of renal function, the fluid overloading and the disturbance of ventilation control could cause sleep apneas. On the other hand, the nocturnal hypoxia in patients with OSAS has been associated with changes in the renin-angiotensin system and sympathetic nervous system and production of reactive oxygen species. These findings are relationed with the deterioration of kidney function.

What is being measured

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

  1. To test whether treatment with CPAP in patients with moderate to severe OSAS and CKD in stages KDIGO G1-3, reduces the progression of renal disease (30% drop in GF) after 2 years of followed up.

    Number of participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) with a 30% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the CKD-EPI (CKD Epidemiology Collaboration) 2009 creatinine equation after 2 years of followed up (each patient will be followed up for at least 2 years - range from 2 to 3 years)

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 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 Spain. 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?

Contact Jaime Corral, MD (+34-927256204, jcorral@separ.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

To test whether treatment with CPAP in patients with moderate to severe OSAS and CKD in stages KDIGO G1-3, reduces the progression of renal disease (30% drop in GF) after 2 years of followed up. (time frame: after 2 years of followed up (each patient will be followed up for at least 2 years - range from 2 to 3 years)). 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 NCT03319888, which also lists 23 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.
