Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome affects 40-60% of patients presenting with cardiovascular diseases. Cheyne-Stokes respiration is a type of central apnea characterised by the presence of at least three consecutive episodes of apnea and/or hypopnea separated by a crescendo-decrescendo variation of the breathing… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Benefit of Cheyne-Stokes Respiration Remote Monitoring in CPAP-treated Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea for the Early Detection of Significant Cardiac Events.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome affects 40-60% of patients presenting with cardiovascular diseases. Cheyne-Stokes respiration is a type of central apnea characterised by the presence of at least three consecutive episodes of apnea and/or hypopnea separated by a crescendo-decrescendo variation of the breathing amplitude with a cycle length ≥ 40 seconds and a central apnea/hypopnea index ≥ 5/h, for at least two hours of recording.

The association between heart failure and Cheynes-Stokes respiration is known and a recent study showed that Cheynes-Stokes respiration was associated with more severe heart failure. Moreover, a medical and medical/financial benefit of the early detection of cardiac decompensation has been reported.

The purpose of this feasibility study is to investigate the benefit of Cheyne-Stokes respiration remote monitoring in CPAP-treated patients with OSA for the early detection of significant cardiac events (heart failure, rhythm disorder, diastolic dysfunction).

To achieve this aim, a modified approach of CPAP remote monitoring is proposed based on the performance of the latest generation of positive pressure devices from ResMed, AirSense™ 10 Autoset™, which can detect and record the presence of Cheynes-Stokes respiration. For a period of 12 months, in addition to the usual daily remote monitoring (CPAP adherence, pressure settings, level of air leakages), the healthcare provider will systematically monitor the CSR data whenever the AHI increases significantly. Physicians will be alerted when a CSR occurs and they will see the patients within a short time for pulmology and cardiology consultations in order to screen the onset of significant cardiac event.

After the 12-month period of modified remote monitoring, the telemedicine returns to the usual procedure. Patients who had at least one CSR occurrence during the first 12-month period will be followed up to 24 months to assess their medical condition.

What participants receive

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

  • CSR remote monitoringOther

    The intervention will consist to modify the method used to analyse the data collected by remote monitoring in OSA-patients treated by CPAP (device : AirSense™10 Autoset™, ResMed) in order to alert physicians when Cheynes-Stokes respiration (CSR) occurs during sleep and then to set up emergency pulmonology and cardiology consultations to screen the onset of a significant cardiac event (heart failure, rhythm disorder, diastolic dysfunction).

CSR remote monitoringExperimentalThe remote monitoring of CPAP treatment will be modified in order to detect the presence of CSR as soon as any significant increase of the apnea-hypopnea index occurs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of significant cardiac events following the detection of Cheyne-Stokes Respiration during sleep

    To determine the correlation between the occurrence of Cheyne-Stokes Respiration during sleep and the onset of a significant cardiac event during the 12 month period of modified remote monitoring.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Characterisation of apnea-hypopnea index and CPAP treatment when the Cheyne-Stokes Respiration occurs

    Each time a CSR is detected during sleep, the mean AHI of the last 7 days and the machine settings (the 95th percentile pressure, fixed or autoset mode, level of air leakages, other settings) will be monitored.

    Measured: throughout the 12 month period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CSR remote monitoring in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Groupe Medical de Pneumologie, Polyclinique Saint-Laurent 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2021. 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?

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 significant cardiac events following the detection of Cheyne-Stokes Respiration during sleep (time frame: 12 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 NCT03592108, 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 10 Mar 2021.
