About this study

Official title: Cost-effectiveness Analysis and Conditional Response to the Effect of Active Postural Devices in Postural Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Pávlov Project.

The objectives of this study are:

  • To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a vibrating positional device (NightBalance, Philips) in the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea compared to conventional CPAP treatment.
  • To investigate whether a positional device (NightBalance, Philips) avoids supine position after a period of use of the device without actively using the device for a subsequent period of time.
Read the detailed description

Non-inferiority clinical trial open to patients and investigators, multicenter, randomized and controlled to treatment with positional device (PD) and CPAP to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea with a PD (NightBalance, Philips) compared to CPAP after 6 months of continuous treatment (first phase) and the permanence of such efficacy after subsequent discontinuation of treatment (second phase).

An initial respiratory polygraphy will be performed in all patients and the sleep study will be repeated at 6 months with PD and CPAP. After its withdrawal, in those patients who respond, the respiratory polygraphy will be repeated at one week and one month.

Being tested
Positional device (PD), Continuos Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness of a positional device (PD) (NightBalance, Philips) compared to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the treatment of OSA assessed by the intergroup differences in apnea hypopnea index (AHI) measured by respiratory polygraphy (RP)

    To evaluate the effectiveness of a positional device (PD) (NightBalance, Philips) compared to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the treatment of OSA by assessing the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) measured by respiratory polygraphy (RP) after 6 months of treatment in a non-inferiority analysis.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Cost-effectiveness of PD in the treatment of OSA compared to CPAP and assessed by the difference in cost between both devices taking into account the AIH measured by RP.

    To assess the cost-effectiveness of NightBalance PD in the treatment of OSA compared to CPAP treatment after 6 months of treatment and assessed by the difference in cost between the two treatment methods divided by the difference in effectiveness between the two treatment methods taking into account: AIH (measured by RP)

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Cost-effectiveness of PD in the treatment of OSA compared to CPAP and assessed by the difference in cost between both devices taking into account the degree of daytime sleepiness measured by the Epworth scale.

    To assess the cost-effectiveness of NightBalance PD in the treatment of OSA compared to CPAP treatment after 6 months of treatment and assessed by the difference in cost between the two treatment methods divided by the difference in effectiveness between the two treatment methods taking into account the degree of daytime sleepiness, measured by the Epworth scale (0-24, where higher scores mean a worse outcome)

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Cost-effectiveness of PD in the treatment of OSA compared to CPAP and assessed by the difference in cost between both devices taking into account the quality-adjusted life years measured by the EuroQol-5D questionnaire

    To assess the cost-effectiveness of NightBalance PD in the treatment of OSA compared to CPAP treatment after 6 months of treatment and assessed by the difference in cost between the two treatment methods divided by the difference in effectiveness between the two treatment methods taking into account the quality-adjusted life years, measured by the European Quality of Life 5 dimensions (EuroQol-5D) questionnaire (5 dimensions from 1 to 3 points in each one, where higher scores mean a worse outcome)

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Cost-effectiveness of PD in the treatment of OSA compared to CPAP and assessed by the difference in cost between both devices taking into account health resources consumed.

    To assess the cost-effectiveness of NightBalance PD in the treatment of OSA compared to CPAP treatment after 6 months of treatment and assessed by the difference in cost between the two treatment methods divided by the difference in effectiveness between the two treatment methods taking into account health resources consumed in euros: Initial cost of the device, maintenance costs (consumables, revisions), hospital costs (hospital visits for training, troubleshooting, pressure titration, parameter adjustment, follow-up visits), patient costs (device, consumables, travel).

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Conditioned response of PD assesed by the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) measured by respiratory polygraphy (RP) after 1 week and 1 month of withdrawing active treatment

    Apnea hypopnea index (AHI) measured by respiratory polygraphy (RP) after 1 week and 1 month of withdrawing active treatment will be assesed and compared to AHI after active treatment with NightBalance for 6 months.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positional device (PD) and Continuos Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea of Adult, run by Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal at 1 site in Spain.

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 8 inclusion and 9 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 24 Aug 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 Spain. 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 Irene Cano-Pumarega (+34686348243, irene.cano@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effectiveness of a positional device (PD) (NightBalance, Philips) compared to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the treatment of OSA assessed by the intergroup differences in apnea hypopnea index (AHI) measured by respiratory polygraphy (RP) (time frame: 6 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?
