About this study

Official title: SASQT: SensAwake™ Sleep Quality Trial A Study to Test the Efficacy of the SensAwake™ Modification to Automatically Titrating Continuous Positive Airway Pressure to Reduce Wake After Sleep Onset in Patients With Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

The SensAwake™ modification to the Fisher and Paykel automatically titrating positive airway pressure (APAP) device aims to sense whether the patient is awake via respiratory patterns that differentiate between sleep and wake. Upon sensing that the patient is awake the device is able to reduce positive airway pressure PAP aiming to improve patient comfort which should result in more consolidated sleep. This study will investigate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and a automatically Adjusting Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) device with new technology called SensAwake™. This requires experimental confirmation in a randomised controlled trial. Double-blind randomised crossover trial comparing WASO on standard APAP with WASO using APAP modified by the addition of the SensAwake™ modification on consecutive nights in participants with moderate-to-severe OSA.

A total number of 45 participants will be recruited from an OSA population, aged 18-65. Participants will consist of male and female patients diagnosed with moderate-severe OSA (Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) greater than or equal to 15 per hour. Eligible participants, according to the protocol approved by the HREC, providing written informed consent will be enrolled into the study. Patients will be enrolled sequentially according to the randomisation list. Patients will be randomised to APAP or APAP with the addition of the SensAwake™ modification. The investigator and study staff will be blinded to the treatment of any participant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing SleepStyle 200 Auto Series with SensAwake and SleepStyle 200 Auto Series with out SensAwake in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 1 site in Australia.

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 5 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 12 Jul 2011. 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 Australia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO) between treatment with standard APAP and APAP modified by the addition of the SensAwake™ modification (time frame: 1 Night). 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 NCT00811213, 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 12 Jul 2011.
