About this study

Official title: The Effect of CPAP on Nocturnal Dipping in Normotensive Patients With Moderate-severe Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, a Multicentre Randomised Controlled Trial

This is an open-label, parallel, prospective, randomised control trial evaluating the effect of Continuous Positive airway pressure (CPAP), the standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) versus control (diet and lifestyle advice) on dipping status and blood pressure parameters in 100 non-dipper normotensive patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and without established cardiovascular or metabolic disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Dipping status

    Change in % dipping after 3 months of treatment with CPAP versus Control

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in the mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP)

    Change in mmHg in mean blood pressure from baseline to 12 weeks of treatment compared to control

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Change in blood pressure parameters

    Change in mmHg in blood pressure parameters including diurnal and nocturnal systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) from baseline to 12 weeks of treatment compared to control

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by St Vincent's University Hospital, Ireland at 1 site in Ireland.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2023.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 Ireland. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in Dipping status (time frame: 3 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 21 Dec 2023.
