Trial summary

The overall purpose of this study is to determine the effects of adaptive servo ventilation (ASV) and bi-level ventilators on Cheyne-Stocks respiration (CSR). CSR is a pattern of breathing characterized by hyperpneas followed by hypopneas and or apneas. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with both CSR and heart failure

Who may be able to join

  • Patient or legal representative of the patient is willing and able to sign an IRB/MEC approved informed consent and Privacy Protection Authorization in the United States
  • Subject is > 18 years old
  • Patients with known history of CSR. CSR symptoms may include the following:
  • sleep fragmentation as reported by patient or as witnessed by another person
  • night arousal after apneic episodes
  • reduced exercise capacity
  • daytime sleepiness
  • Expected to tolerate the ventilator therapy

Who cannot join

  • Patient is currently enrolled in another clinical study which may confound the results of this study
  • Patient for whom informed consent cannot be obtained
  • Patient who is of pregnant or of child bearing potential without a negative pregnancy test within 10 days of the study procedure
  • Patients implanted with unable to tolerate inactive pacemaker, implantable defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization device for duration of testing procedure - approximately 8 hours (e.g. pacemaker dependency)
  • Patients with severe COPD (per GOLD scale)
  • Patients with a history of myocardial infarction within the 6 months prior to the study
  • Patients with unstable angina

About this study

The overall purpose of this study is to determine the effects of adaptive servo ventilation (ASV) and bi-level ventilators on Cheyne-Stocks respiration (CSR). CSR is a pattern of breathing characterized by hyperpneas followed by hypopneas and or apneas. Clinically, the physiologic changes translate to sleep fragmentation, excessive daytime sleepiness, reduced exercise capacity and possibly ventricular arrhythmias. The intent of the proposed intervention is to compare the efficacies of ASV and Bi-level ventilator on CSR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Both ASV and Bilevel ventilation are effective in clinical treatment of CSR

    Measured: three months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ASV treatment is more effective in removal or reduction of Cheyne-Stocks respiration than Bilevel ventilator for patients with chronic heart failure

    Measured: three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Sleep Apnea, run by Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 8 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 26 Aug 2008. 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 China. 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 Zhang Xilong, PhD (96-25-83714511 ext. 6723, zhangxilong1952@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Both ASV and Bilevel ventilation are effective in clinical treatment of CSR (time frame: three months). 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 NCT00725595, 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 26 Aug 2008.
