  • Ages 30 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • OSA SCREENING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Documented diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia or polycythemia vera by either 2008 WHO criteria or 2016 WHO Criteria prior to screening.

About this study

Official title: Modulation of Morbidity and Disease Progression in Polycythemia Vera (PV) and Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by CPAP

This early phase I trial studies how well the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine works in treating obstructive sleep apnea in patients with polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where a person stops breathing during sleep, and is estimated to affect 30 to 50 percent of patients with polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. A patient with obstructive sleep apnea typically snores, has disrupted sleep, experiences morning headaches, and has daytime sleepiness. Patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea are typically treated with a device called CPAP. The CPAP provides pressurized air that keeps upper air passages open during sleep and may prevent them from narrowing or collapsing as occurs during snoring or sleep apnea.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To understand effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the course of polycythemia vera/essential thrombocythemia (PV/ET).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate prevalence of OSA in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. II. To understand effects of CPAP for sleep apnea on the course of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).

III. To correlate OSA severity with thrombotic and inflammatory marker values in patients with PV/ET at baseline.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

COHORT I (OBSERVATIONAL COHORT): Patients not diagnosed with OSA undergo observation for 6 months.

COHORT II (TREATMENT COHORT): Patients diagnosed with OSA and prescribed a CPAP machine for treatment receive continuous treatment with CPAP for 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form - Total Symptom Score (MPN-SAF TSS)

    Will be tested at the two-sided 0.025 significance level to provide overall control of the type I error for the co-primary endpoints at 0.05. The endpoints will be summarized by mean, median, range, standard deviation, interquartile range and boxplots. Scatterplots will be used to show bivariate associations. An assessment of normality will be made prior to statistical testing. Paired t tests will be used to analyze endpoints that are sufficiently Gaussian in distribution. Paired Wilcoxon tests will be used to analyze variables that are highly skewed or otherwise non-Gaussian in distribution.

    Measured: Baseline, after 3 months, and after 6 months on trial

  2. Change in JAK2 V617F allele burden

    Will be tested at the two-sided 0.025 significance level to provide overall control of the type I error for the co-primary endpoints at 0.05. The endpoints will be summarized by mean, median, range, standard deviation, interquartile range and boxplots. Scatterplots will be used to show bivariate associations. An assessment of normality will be made prior to statistical testing. Paired t tests will be used to analyze endpoints that are sufficiently Gaussian in distribution. Paired Wilcoxon tests will be used to analyze variables that are highly skewed or otherwise non-Gaussian in distribution.

    Measured: Baseline, after 3 months, and after 6 months on trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, Patient Observation and Questionnaire Administration in people with CALR Gene Mutation and Essential Thrombocythemia, run by University of Utah at 2 sites in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 30 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 8 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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: Study terminated due to lack of funding). 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?

Change in Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form - Total Symptom Score (MPN-SAF TSS) (time frame: Baseline, after 3 months, and after 6 months on trial). 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 8 Jan 2024.
