Trial summary

Despite the advances in the treatment of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE), the readmissions rates and cardiovascular events remain very high. In this context, it is possible that other potential risk factors may influence the poor prognosis of the ACPE. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study (CPAP-CARE STUDY).

Despite the advances in the treatment of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE), the readmissions rates and cardiovascular events remain very high. In this context, it is possible that other potential risk factors may influence the poor prognosis of the ACPE. One of these potential candidates is Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA). This study was designed to evaluate the impact of OSA treatment with CPAP in consecutive patients with ACPE. The primary outcome will be to evaluate the impact of CPAP on the recurrence of ACPE in the 1-year follow-up.

What participants receive

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

  • CPAPDevice

    This is the standard treatment for OSA.

  • Nasal StripsDevice

    Nasal strips were commercially available in the market for supposing treat snoring and sleep apnea but no proof that this is true. Our group previously validated nasal strips as an interesting placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of ACPE recurrence

    To evaluate the effects of CPAP on the recurrence of ACPE as compared to placebo

    Measured: 1-year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of all-cause mortality

    To evaluate the effects of CPAP on the all-cause mortality as compared to placebo

    Measured: 1-year

  2. Rate of cardiovascular mortality

    To evaluate the effects of CPAP on the cardiovascular mortality as compared to placebo

    Measured: 1-year

  3. Number of new hospital admissions

    To evaluate the effects of CPAP on the number of new hospital admissions as compared to placebo

    Measured: 1-year

  4. Blood pressure effects ( (mmHg)

    To evaluate the effects of CPAP on the blood pressure reduction as compared to placebo

    Measured: 1-year

  5. Levels of BNP levels (pg/ml)

    To evaluate the effects of CPAP on the BNP levels as compared to placebo

    Measured: 1-year

  6. Cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction - %)

    To evaluate the effects of CPAP on the left ventricular ejection fraction (by echocardiography) as compared to placebo

    Measured: 1-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CPAP and Nasal Strips in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Pulmonary Edema Cardiac Cause, run by University of Sao Paulo at 4 sites in Brazil.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Brazil. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: COVID-19 pandemic and philips cpap machine recall). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Rate of ACPE recurrence (time frame: 1-year). 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 7 Jun 2024.
