About this study

Official title: Validation of a Portable Monitoring Device for the Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Introduction:

The prevalence of overlap between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is around 10%. This overlap syndrome is an important issue because is related to nocturnal desaturation and its complications. The use of portable monitoring devices (PM) for the diagnosis of OSAS was recently accepted as an alternative to full-night polysomnography (PSG). However, there are not studies evaluating the PM recording in COPD patients to detect or exclude OSAS.

Objective:

To evaluate if a PM (Stardust®, Respironics, Inc, USA) could accurately measure the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in COPD patients with a suspicion of OSAS.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be recruited from the Pneumology outpatient clinic of UNIFESP, Patients had been diagnosed with COPD in GOLD's stages II and III, were stable (no COPD exacerbation in the last three months), were using bronchodilators without a dose change during that period, and had symptoms suggestive of OSAS (loud snoring, reported breathing pauses during sleep and excessive sleepiness). We excluded patients with other sleep-related disorders, a diagnosis and/or previous treatment for OSAS, severe cardiovascular disorders or neuromuscular disease and those using oxygen, psychotropic drugs, alcohol or other drugs of abuse.

Patients will undergo two assessments of sleep, randomly determined: 1) PM at home for one night, 2) PM in the sleep laboratory simultaneously to the PSG. Three apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) values will be obtained and analyzed: a) AHI from PM at home, b) AHI from PM in the laboratory, and c) AHI from the PSG. Analyses of all evaluations will be performed by two trained technicians, blinded to study details.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Associação Fundo de Incentivo à Pesquisa at 2 sites in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Brazil. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: the data was completed.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

to evaluate the accuracy of a portable monitoring device (Stardust - STD) in the detection of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). (time frame: 2 years colect data). 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 23 Oct 2013.
