About this study

Official title: Investigating the Use of a Wrist-sensor Pulse Oximeter to Screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.

The primary study objective is to investigate sensitivity and specificity of a wrist sensor pulse oximeter (the Oxitone Medical Oxitone 1000M device) to screen for obstructive sleep apnoea. This study will involve thirty participants attending a sleep centre suspected of suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea (case finding screening). The secondary objective is to assess patient convenience with the screening procedure.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational study to assess the sensitivity and specificity of a wrist sensor pulse oximeter (Oxitone Medical Oxitone 1000M) to identify obstructive sleep apnoea cases in patients referred to the London Sleep Centre (case finding screening, or case only study). The wrist sensor pulse oximeter streams data (pulse rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen saturation levels (SPO2), actigraphy data and skin temperature data) to a software application using bluetooth connectivity to be stored in a securely encrypted database cloud for analysis. The investigators at the sleep centre will be masked when analysing the data from the wrist sensor pulse oximeter when deciding on diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea. Data from the wrist sensor oximeter device will be statistically compared with the data from a conventional PPG fingertip oximeter and Peripheral Arterial Tonometry device currently in use. The study outcome will be whether the wrist sensor pulse oximeter device could be used in patients to screen reliably for obstructive sleep apnoea. The study also will include patient feedback on convenience of the screening procedure. The study will not affect routine patient medical management and care for patients assessed at the sleep centre.

Being tested
Patient wears a wrist sensor oximeter device for one to two nights.

What participants receive

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

  • Patient wears a wrist sensor oximeter device for one to two nights.Device

    Patients will be asked to complete a study questionnaires of STOPBANG, SCI-8 (Sleep Condition Indicator-8 questionnaire for insomnia), Epworth questionnaires and medical history. The clinician will record blood pressure, pulse rate and regularity, body mass index and neck circumference. Subjects will be required to wear the wrist sensor pulse oximeter for 1-2 nights. The Oxitone 1000M device measures pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation and movement. The oxygen desaturation events from the wrist sensor device will be statistically compared with the diagnosis assessed using the conventional PPG oximetry, Peripheral Arterial Tonometry and clinical assessment. (clinicians will be masked when analysing the data from the wrist sensor pulse device).

What is being measured

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

  1. obstructive sleep apnoea screening

    Sensitivity and specificity of the wrist sensor oximeter to screen for obstructive sleep apnoea by (A) comparing the SPO2 3% and 4 % dip rates of the conventional fingertip photoplethysmography(PPG) oximeter to the 3% and 4% dip rates of the wrist sensor pulse oximeter and (B) comparing the final diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) by a sleep specialist (based on PPG fingertip oximetry and peripheral arterial tonometry), with SPO2 and heart rate variability data from the wrist sensor pulse oximeter. The sleep specialist will be masked from the data of the wrist sensor pulse oximeter. An ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve will be used for (B).

    Measured: Three months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient comfort and compliance

    To assess patient comfort wearing the wrist sensor pulse oximetry device by administering a questionnaire with responses on a Likert scale to question "the wrist sensor pulse oximeter was comfortable to sleep with"

    Measured: Three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Oxitone Medical Ltd. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2019. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Leon Eisen, PhD (+97278346731, Leon.eisen@oxitone.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

obstructive sleep apnoea screening (time frame: Three months). 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 12 Jul 2019.
