Trial summary

An increased occurrence of cancer associated mortality has been described in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). This association might be partially explained by an impaired cellular immune response that has been described in OSAS. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exosomes Implication in PD1-PD-L1 Pathway Activation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

An increased occurrence of cancer associated mortality has been described in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). This association might be partially explained by an impaired cellular immune response that has been described in OSAS. Is has been suggested that OSAS impact immune cells by upregulation of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. Exosomes are small membrane vesicles released by numerous cells in the bloodstream. Exosomes have been shown to be implicated in cancer cells proliferation via a PD-1/PD-L1 pathway activation.

This study will evaluate exosomal PD-1/PD-L1 expression in patients with OSAS as compared to controls and will further investigate their impact on immune cells function and proliferation capacities.

What is being measured

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

  1. exosomal PD1 expression

    Peripheral blood (≈20 ml) will be collected from non-OSAS or OSAS subjects on EDTA-coated tubes. Exosomes will be isolated by centrifugation. For detecting exosome-associated surface proteins by flow cytometry, exosomes will be first captured on magnetic beads. The bead/exosome complexes will be then co-incubated with the labeled detection antibodies, either anti-PD1. Next, the complexes will be washed 3x resuspended in 300uL of PBS for antigen detection by flow cytometry.

    Measured: at baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea Syndromes, Obstructive and Cancer, 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 Feb 2023. 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?

exosomal PD1 expression (time frame: at baseline). The study lists 2 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 10 Feb 2023.
