About this study

Official title: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome In Patients Treated For Cancer Of The Upper Aerodigestive Tract : The SAOS-K Study

Prospective open-label, non-randomized, monocentric, cohort study, to assess the prevalence and severity of sleep apnea syndrome in patients treated for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract.

The patient follows a usual course of care including, at the end of the treatment of his cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract, screening for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome at 3 months and 6 months (Epworth score and ventilatory polygraphy)

Read the detailed description

Prospective open-label, non-randomized, monocentric, cohort study, to assess the prevalence and severity of sleep apnea syndrome in patients treated for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract.

Patients are included in the study when they are hospitalized for panendoscopy. Thereafter, it takes about 1 month to start any treatment. The duration of treatment is estimated at about 5 months (the longest regimen would be induction chemotherapy followed by surgery and adjuvant complementary treatment). After which the patient follows a usual course of care including, at the end of the treatment of his cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract, screening for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome at 3 months and 6 months (Epworth score and ventilatory polygraphy).

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

    Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is defined by an apnea-hypopnea index greater than or equal to 15 per hour

    Measured: 3 months after the end of treatment for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Delay in onset of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after completion of cancer treatment

    Delay in onset of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after completion of cancer treatment

    Measured: during the 6 months follow-up

  2. Epworth score

    The Epworth auto-questionnaire, rated from 0 (better) to 24 (worse), assess day-time sleapiness.

    Measured: at 3 months and 6 months

  3. Occurence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

    Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is defined by an apnea-hypopnea index greater than or equal to 15 per hour

    Measured: 6 months after the end of treatment for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Upper Aerodigestive Tract Neoplasms and Obstructive Sleep Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome, run by Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien at 1 site in France.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2023. 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 France. 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?

Occurence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (time frame: 3 months after the end of treatment for cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract). 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 NCT04262453, which also lists 4 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 7 Nov 2023.
