About this study

Official title: Epigenetics Modifications in Morbid Obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients (EPIMOOSA): Continous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Bariatric Surgery Impact. EPIMOOSA Study

This study evaluates epigenetics in morbid obese patients who are waiting for bariatric surgery. A home cardiopulmonary polygraphy is performed to evaluate for the presence of sleep-disordered breathing. The principal investigator make the decision of starting CPAP among patients with obstructive sleep apnea according to current clinical guidelines. One year follow up after bariatric surgery will be performed. A total of 5 visits will be scheduled: two of them before bariatric surgery and 3 after (3, 6 and 12 months).

At every visit, all patients had: sleep questionaries, blood samples, EKG-Holter and spirometry are collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Epigenetics changes in morbid obesity patient with or without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

    To evaluate differences in miRNA profile among patients with morbid obesity with or without OSA Differences between exosome miRNA of MO+OSA and MO-OSA will be calculated. The results will be expressed following the method 2(delta-delta C(T)) miRNA will be analyzed: miRNA 16, 21, 34, 126, 133, 145, 146, 155, 223, 320.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Impact of CPAP treatment in epigenetics changes.

    miRNA profile will be assessed In patient with morbid obesity and coexistent OSA, at baseline and after 6 months of treatment with CPAP according with current guidelines.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Impact of weight loss due to bariatric surgery in epigenetics changes.

    All participants included will go to bariatric surgery and 3, 6 and 12 month blood samples will be obtained.

    miRNA will be analyzed in the last 2 visits and compared with previous.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Morbid Obesity, run by Aragon Institute of Health Sciences.

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 3 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 24 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Epigenetics changes in morbid obesity patient with or without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT03995836, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 24 Jun 2019.
