Trial summary

Background: Previous studies have reported that intermittent hypoxia in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with tumor progression, metastasis and treatment outcomes. However, studies explaining the relationships between specific types of cancer and OSA are needed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Impact of High Risk for OSA in Prognosis and Treatment Outcomes of Lung Cancer

Background: Previous studies have reported that intermittent hypoxia in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with tumor progression, metastasis and treatment outcomes. However, studies explaining the relationships between specific types of cancer and OSA are needed. In this study, it is aimed to show the effect of excessive daytime sleepiness as determined by Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) and the effect of OSA risk determined by STOP BANG questionnaire on survival and treatment outcomes in lung cancer.

Method: The patients who admit the palliative care outpatient clinic of our hospital with the diagnosis of lung cancer (stage 3 and stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer or limited / extensive stage small cell lung cancer) between July 2019-2020 will be assessed for excessive daytime sleepiness(EDS) and risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by Epworth sleepiness scale and the STOP-BANG questionnaire. The patients will be grouped according to the risk of OSA and EDS.Total / progression-free survival, treatment outcomes and side effects of the treatment will be evaluated comparatively.

Read the detailed description

The patients who admit the palliative care outpatient clinic of our hospital with the diagnosis of lung cancer (stage 3 and stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer or limited / extensive stage small cell lung cancer) between July 2019-2020 prior to the treatment and the patient who has not yet completed the first-line chemotherapy with a weight loss <10% will be invited to fill the Epworth sleepiness scale and the STOP-BANG questionnaire. Patients' anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI, fat-free BMI, neck circumference) will be taken. The treatment outcomes and side-effects in patients with EDS and moderate / high risk for OSA will be compared with patients with low OSA risk. Demographic information (age, gender, smoking history), anthropometric measurements (height, weight, body mass index, fat free body mass index, neck circumference), clinical information (snoring, witnessed apnea, daytime excessive sleep presence of symptoms of symptoms, pulmonary function tests, radiological TNM stages, diagnostic method, diagnosis date, fiberoptic bronchoscopy findings, ECOG performance status, treatment results, treatment-related side effects) laboratory values (complete blood count results albumin, lactate dehydrogenase level) and the results of Epworth sleepiness scale and of STOP-BANG questionnaire will be recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. STOP-BANG questionnaire

    OSA - Low Risk : Yes to 0 - 2 questions OSA - Intermediate Risk : Yes to 3 - 4 questions OSA - High Risk : Yes to 5 - 8 questions or Yes to 2 or more of 4 STOP questions + male gender or Yes to 2 or more of 4 STOP questions + BMI > 35kg/m2 or Yes to 2 or more of 4 STOP questions + neck circumference 17 inches / 43cm in male or 16 inches / 41cm in female

    Measured: Up to 4 months from the initial diagnosis of lung cancer (the patients who has not initiated or has not finished the first line therapy )

  2. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)

    Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions by which daytime sleepiness in eight different activities is assessed on a 4-point scale (0-3). The ESS score can range from 0 to 24. The higher the ESS score, the higher that person's 'daytime sleepiness'. ESS score ≥ 10 will be used to indicate excessive daytime sleepiness.

    Measured: Up to 4 months from the initial diagnosis of lung cancer (the patients who has not initiated or has not finished the first line therapy will be assessed with Epworth Sleepiness Scale)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Lung Cancer, run by Atatürk Chest Diseases and Chest Surgery Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 12 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 4 Jan 2022. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

STOP-BANG questionnaire (time frame: Up to 4 months from the initial diagnosis of lung cancer (the patients who has not initiated or has not finished the first line therapy )). 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 4 Jan 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
