About this study

Official title: The Outcome of CPAP Titration Under Sleep Endoscopy: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial

The outcome of CPAP titration under sleep endoscopy: A randomized controlled crossover trial

Read the detailed description

This is the study entitled "The outcome of CPAP titration under sleep endoscopy: A randomized controlled crossover trial". CPAP is first line golden standard treatment for Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the overall CPAP compliance is about 50%. One of the reasons responsible for the poor compliance is the inadequate pressure setting initially. Therefore, it is crucial for us to find out the adequate pressure as soon as possible. Sleep endoscopy is the way to evaluate upper airway obstruction of OSA patients. Meanwhile, the investigators used CPAP to titrate the adequate pressure to keep upper airway open under sleep endoscopy guidance. While the investigators find out this adequate pressure, the investigators set this pressure into CPAP program, which OSA patient will use for 1 month. To compare the different effect of CPAP under either auto-CPAP titration pressure or sleep endoscopy guidance pressure, those OSA patients will use auto-titration CPAP for 1 month as well. Another highlight of this study is the sedative agent-dexmedetomidine. Dexmedetomidine is a α2 antogonist, which cause patients sedative but less respiratory drive suppression. The mechanism of dexmedetomidine is more physiological for nature sleep.

What is being measured

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

  1. complaince of CPAP use

    CPAP complaince was defined as the use of CPAP is more than 4 hours per day and 5 days per week

    Measured: the change of complaince between baseline, 1 month and 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. sleepiness score

    ESS

    Measured: the change of ESS between baseline, 1 month and 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and CPAP, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 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 30 Sep 2020. 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 Taiwan. 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?

complaince of CPAP use (time frame: the change of complaince between baseline, 1 month and 2 months). 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 NCT03523013, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Sep 2020.
