About this study

Official title: Collection of Long-Term Follow-up Medical Events in Patients Included in the Meta-analysis "Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Arterial Stiffness"

The meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness" includes data from 893 patients initially included in 9 studies conducted by the EFCR Department of the CHUGA between 2006 and 2015, presenting a sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) with exploration of their arterial stiffness via the measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV).

Currently, we do not have long-term follow-up data for these patients.

Read more

The first objective of the "PWV Follow-up" project is to collect cardiovascular events in these patients through telephone interviews and a structured questionnaire to determine the prevalence of these events. The prevalence of metabolic events, incident cancers and deaths will be also determined as secondary objectives through the same questionnaire.

Others secondary objectives are to evaluate the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP, the reference treatment for OSA) on the occurrence of cardiovascular and metabolic events and incident cancers, as this is still discussed in the literature.

The meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness" includes data from 893 patients initially included in 9 studies conducted by the EFCR Department of the CHUGA between 2006 and 2015, presenting a sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) with exploration of their arterial stiffness via the measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV).

The 9 studies were referred as : ADISAS (NCT011968), AGIRSASADOM (NCT010902), BPCO (NCT004044), BPCO-SAS (NCT01195064), DIAMETASAS, Aortic Dissection (NCT01068691), INFRASAS (NCT010892), VALSAS (NCT004094), NIV-OHS (NCT006030).

The objective of this meta-analysis on individual data was to understand the relationship between the severity of the sleep apnea syndrome (measured by the apnea + hypopnea index) and arterial rigidity at the time of diagnosis of SAS.

Currently, we do not have long-term follow-up data for these patients.

The first objective of the "PWV Follow-up" project is to collect cardiovascular events in these patients through telephone interviews and a structured questionnaire to determine the prevalence of these events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of cardiovascular events

    Prevalence of cardiovascular events during the follow-up of patients included in the meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness", through a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: up to 15 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Prevalence of metabolic events

    Prevalence of metabolic events during the follow-up of patients included in the meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness", through a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: up to 15 years

  2. Prevalence of incident cancers

    Prevalence of incident cancers during the follow-up of patients included in the meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness", through a structured questionnaire..

    Measured: up to 15 years

  3. Prevalence of deaths

    Prevalence of deaths during the follow-up of patients included in the meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness", through a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: up to 15 years

  4. Effect of CPAP treatment on the cardiovascular events occurrence

    Mean CPAP observance (h/night) of patients included in the meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness" to determine its impact on the cardiovascular events occurrence.

    Measured: during 6 months

  5. Effect of CPAP treatment on the metabolic events occurrence

    Mean CPAP observance (h/night) of patients included in the meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness" to determine its impact on the metabolic events occurrence.

    Measured: during 6 months

  6. Effect of CPAP treatment on the incident cancers occurrence

    Mean CPAP observance (h/night) of patients included in the meta-analysis "sleep apnea syndrome and arterial stiffness" to determine its impact on the incident cancers occurrence.

    Measured: during 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea, run by University Hospital, Grenoble 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 22 Dec 2025. 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 was stopped early (reason given: recruitment difficulty). 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?

Prevalence of cardiovascular events (time frame: up to 15 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 NCT04704401, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Dec 2025.
