Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is independently associated with cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke. OSA may promote atherosclerosis risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia and may have direct proatherogenic effects on the vascular wall. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Microparticles as a Biomarker of Incident Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is independently associated with cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke. OSA may promote atherosclerosis risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia and may have direct proatherogenic effects on the vascular wall. A growing number of studies have recently focused on the role of microparticles (MPs) in the atherogenic process. Case-control studies have shown that platelet-, endothelial- and leukocyte-derived MP levels are increased in OSA and that leukocyte-derived MP are released during the night in OSA. Furthermore, experimental evidence shows that MPs from OSA patients induce endothelial dysfunction.

The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the impact of increased levels of leukocyte derived MPs on the cardiovascular outcomes in patients with prevalent cardiovascular diseases investigated for OSA.

Read the detailed description

MPs are small plasma membrane vesicles that can be released by a variety of vascular or blood cells and that contain membrane and cytosolic elements. Case-control studies have shown that platelet-, endothelial- and leukocyte-derived MP levels are increased in OSA. Experimental evidence shows that MPs from OSA patients induce endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and vascular hyperreactivity when injected to mice.

The impact of increased levels of MPs on the cardiovascular prognosis in OSA patient with prevalent cardiovascular diseases in unknown.

What is being measured

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

  1. death from any cardiovascular cause

    outcomes assessed every year at the follow up visit or by calling the primary care physician

    Measured: first event within 5 years after inclusion

  2. myocardial infarction (acute infarct or silent myocardial infarction or unstable angina)

    outcomes assessed every year at the follow up visit or by calling the primary care physician

    Measured: first event within 5 years after inclusion

  3. cerebrovascular infarction (stroke or transient ischemic attack)

    outcomes assessed every year at the follow up visit or by calling the primary care physician

    Measured: first event within 5 years after inclusion

  4. hospitalization for heart failure

    outcomes assessed every year at the follow up visit or by calling the primary care physician

    Measured: first event within 5 years after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 16 Jan 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 France. 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 Wojciech Trzepizur, MD (0680575272 ext. +33, wotrzepizur@chu-angers.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

death from any cardiovascular cause (time frame: first event within 5 years after inclusion). The study lists 4 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 16 Jan 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
