What is being measured

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

  1. proportion of sustained responders

    reduction of AHI of >50% and to <15/hr from qualifying PSG

    Measured: two weeks after initiation of treatment

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. proportion of initial responders

    reduction of AHI of >50% and to <15/hr from qualifying PSG

    Measured: at PSG 1, one day

  2. AHI comparison with qualifying PSG

    apnea-hypopnea index

    Measured: one day, on three separate study occasions

  3. ODI comparison with qualifying PSG

    oxygen desaturation index

    Measured: one day, on three separate study occasions

  4. SpO2 <90% comparison with qualifying PSG

    oxygen desaturation index <90%

    Measured: one day, on three separate study occasions

  5. CGI of sleep

    clinical global impressions of sleep, comparing 3-month baseline with end of two weeks of treatment

    Measured: three months, and two weeks, respectively

  6. CGI of satisfaction with the cNEP device

    clinical global impressions of the cNEP device

    Measured: after two weeks of treatment

  7. Treatment-emergent adverse events

    tabulation of treatment-emergent adverse events

    Measured: two weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cNEP in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Sommetrics, Inc. 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 19 Sep 2019. 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?

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?

proportion of sustained responders (time frame: two weeks after initiation of treatment). 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?
