About this study

Official title: Is Adaptive Servo-Ventilation Therapeutically More Effective Than Continuous Positive Airway Pressure In Treating Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome?

The purpose of this study is to determine whether adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is better at treating complex sleep apnea over time.

Read the detailed description

Between 3 and 19% of patients with clinical and polysomnographic features of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) develop a high-frequency of central apneas and/or disruptive Cheyne-Stokes respiratory syndrome after application of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a pattern called the complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS). The trial seeks to determine the efficacy of the ASV vs. CPAP modes for the treatment of CompSAS over time. Baseline clinical and laboratory data will be collected, patients will be randomized to one of the two treatments. Overall study participation is approximately 3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) Per Polysomnography (PSG) at the End of Treatment Period

    AHI refers to the number of apneas and hypopneas that occurred per hour of sleep

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of Life Measured by the Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Index (SAQLI)

    Likert scale measured from 0-7. The minimum important difference a change of 0.5 when a 7-item Likert scale is used. 0 represents the most negative response, 7 represents the most positive response.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VPAP Adapt SV in people with Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by ResMed at 6 sites 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 28 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Feb 2013). 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?

Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) Per Polysomnography (PSG) at the End of Treatment Period (time frame: 3 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 NCT00915499, 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 28 Feb 2013.
