Trial summary

we hypothesize that long-term CPAP could results in increase weight and muscle composite by changing intake content and hormone and the effect was influenced by presence of CVD, social jet lag, and CPAP compliance. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Long-term CPAP Effect on Social Jet Lag, Intake, Muscular Lipid, Hormone, and Cognition in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: a Telemedicine-based, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Trial

we hypothesize that long-term CPAP could results in increase weight and muscle composite by changing intake content and hormone and the effect was influenced by presence of CVD, social jet lag, and CPAP compliance. The project aims to conduct a telemedicine-based, multicenter, RCTs to compare the effect of 48-week CPAP and usual care on social jet lag, muscular fat, hormone, and attention and memory in 100 participants with moderate-severe OSA.

Read the detailed description

After the participants enter the trial, participants underwent two-night home PSG to confirm the diagnosis of OSA. Once AHI ³15/h is confirmed, participants undertake baseline evaluation within two weeks which included standard questionnaire, eating behavior, 3-day photograph-based intake recording, and 7-day sleep log, 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure, 7-day Actiwatch and Actigraph, 2-morning attention and memory task at home environment. The BMR, BC, Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS), and blood sampling are conducted in the morning when patients was fasting at hospital.

Once participants complete the baseline evaluation, they are randomly allocated to the usual care or auto-CPAP treatment (AirSense™ 10 Autoset™, ResMed Inc., Australia) for 48 weeks. The randomization is generated by the staff of the Department of Biostatistics independent of subject enrolment. A block-randomized assignment with a block size of four is used. Consecutive patients are assigned to the allocation according to the randomization schedule by the study nurse.

After randomization, participants had virtual visits at 4th, 12th, 24th, and 48th week and are evaluated with the same measurements as pre-randomization after complete the trial.

Once the patients complete the trial, they receive the standard treatment of OSA and are followed every 24 to 48 weeks for five years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in BMI

    By comparing the BMI of the CPAP group and the usual care group, observe the effect of CPAP on BMI.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Changes in fat free mass

    By comparing the fat free mass of the CPAP group and the usual care group, observe the effect of CPAP on fat free mass. Fat free mass was measured via bioelectrical impedance analysis (X-SCAN PLUS II, Jawon Medical Co., Ltd., Korea).

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The difference before and after the treatment of mid-sleep time

    Evaluate mid-sleep time using the Actiwatch (Spectrum Plus, Philips Respironics, USA) and compare the differences between the CPAP group and the Usual Care group.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. The difference before and after the treatment of BMR (REE)

    The difference in BMR(Basal metabolic rate) between the CPAP group and the usual care group. The comparison item is REE(Resting Energy Expenditure) (kcal/day)

    Measured: 12 months

  3. The difference before and after the treatment of BMR (RQ)

    The difference in BMR(Basal metabolic rate) between the CPAP group and the usual care group. The comparison item is RQ(Respiratory Quotient) (kcal/day). The calculation method for RQ is to divide the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) exhaled during BMR by the amount of oxygen (O2) consumed.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. The difference before and after the treatment of Participants' nutrition intake

    Energy intake was recorded via food diaries and photographs of intake for 3 days. Compare the differences between the CPAP group and the usual care group.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. The difference before and after the treatment of attention and memory task

    attention and memory task from E-Prime 3.0 software (Psychology Software Tools, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). Compare the differences between the CPAP group and the usual care group.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 21 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Pei-Lin Lee, M.D., PhD (+886-223562755, sleep.chronobiology.pl@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in BMI (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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?
