About this study

Official title: OSA, Sleepiness, and Activity in Diabetes Management

Daily physical activity is important to achieve glucose control in persons with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study is to explore if obstructive sleep apnea and its daytime symptom, excessive sleepiness, act as barriers to physical activity. We will examine if treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure results in increased physical activity in persons with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious disorder characterized by episodic obstruction of the pharyngeal airway accompanied by cessation or reduction in airflow. Untreated OSA has a negative impact 24 hours a day, disrupting nighttime sleep and causing excessive daytime sleepiness that interferes with functioning. Recent studies suggest that OSA and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) not only co-exist but that OSA may adversely affect glucose homeostasis. While physical activity is recognized as beneficial to persons with T2DM, OSA severity or daytime sleepiness may act to hinder persons with T2DM from participating in physical activity. The primary aim of this pilot/feasibility study is to obtain preliminary data to facilitate further hypothesis development and enhance the feasibility of conducting a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to examine physical activity in subjects with T2DM and OSA who are treated with CPAP compared to subjects on sham-CPAP. The secondary aims are to explore: 1) the interrelationships of OSA severity, daytime sleepiness, and physical activity on glucose variability at baseline; 2) average pre-post therapy changes in glucose variability in subjects treated with CPAP compared to subjects receiving sham-CPAP, and 3) pre to post therapy changes in weight, diet, residual sleepiness and mood in subjects treated with CPAP compared to subjects receiving sham-CPAP.

The primary endpoint of the study, physical activity, will be measured by the Bodymedia SenseWear Pro Armband® to determine activity counts. The endpoint for glucose variability will be measured by the Medtronic Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS). Adherence to CPAP will be measured by a Smart Card® inserted in subjects' CPAP machines. We will limit the sample of subjects who are randomized to CPAP or sham-CPAP to persons with an adequate sleep duration pre-treatment (> 6 hours), with moderate or severe OSA and with EDS to have a more homogenous, profoundly affected sample for this pilot study. The information that will result from the proposed study on of the effect of OSA and EDS on glucose variability has the potential to lead to the development of improved behavioral interventions in persons with diabetes. In addition, this study contains measures of diet and mood to begin to elucidate the possible effects of OSA and EDS on diabetes management.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)Device

    Mask worn over nose to splint open the airway with positive pressure to prevent the subject from holding their breath (apneas).

  • Sham- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (Sham-CPAP)Device

    Mask worn over nose to splint open the airway with positive pressure to prevent the subject from holding their breath (apneas).

What is being measured

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

  1. Physical Activity, Steps Walked

    Steps walked measured by the Bodymedia SenseWear Pro Armband®Data collected from the main study period

    Measured: after one-month treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Fructosamine

    Change in fructosamine level from baseline to one month: data from main study period

    Measured: after one-month

  2. Change in Sleep Quality

    From Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; scores range from 0 to 21 with higher scores worse sleep quality; data from main study period

    Measured: after one month

  3. Change in Daytime Sleepiness During Main Study Period

    Daytime Sleepiness measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale; measured from 0 to 24; higher scores indicate worse sleepiness

    Measured: after one month

  4. Change in Vigor-Activity During Main Study Period

    Vigor-Activity from Profiles of Mood Scale; scores range from 0 to 32 with higher scores indicating higher vigor/activity

    Measured: after one month

  5. Fatigue/Inertia

    Fatigue/Inertia from the Profile of Moods Subscale; scores range from 0 to 28; higher scores indicate more fatigue/inertia

    Measured: after one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Eileen R. Chasens at 1 site in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2017. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Mar 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Physical Activity, Steps Walked (time frame: after one-month treatment). 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 8 Nov 2017.
