About this study

Official title: Validation of Breathing Event Detection of the Philips Respironics Sleep Therapy System REMstar Auto A-Flex Compared to Clinical Polysomnography

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate diagnostic agreement and determine the accuracy of the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device compared to simultaneous, attended clinical polysomnography (PSG) in identifying breathing events in participants previously diagnosed with complex sleep apnea (CompSAS), complex sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Read the detailed description

Study Objectives: To compare a positive airway pressure (PAP) device's detection of respiratory events and airway status during device detected apneas with events scored on simultaneous polysomnography (PSG).

Design: Prospective PSGs of patients with sleep apnea using a new-generation PAP device.

Settings: Four clinical and academic sleep centers.

Patients: Forty-five patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and complex sleep apnea (Comp SA) performed a PSG on PAP levels adjusted to induce respiratory events.

Interventions: None.

What participants receive

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

  • Manipulation of Positive Airway Pressure (PAP)Other

    Positive airway pressure (PAP) will be manipulated throughout the night to induce breathing events. PAP will be set to the participant's prescribed pressure, increased until breathing events are induced , and then returned to the prescribed pressure. This cyclic pattern will continue throughout the night.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Breathing Events Identified by the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Device Compared to a Simultaneous Polysomnography

    The following breathing events: RERAs, central apneas, periodic breathing, obstructive apneas, and hypopneas in patients previously diagnosed with CompSAS or OSA detected by simultaneous Polysomnography and REMstar Auto with A-Flex were compared.

    Measured: During a single night of polysomnography lasting an average of 8 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Device Detected Apneas as Detected by Philips Respironics (PR) System One

    All device-detected apneas were tabulated. Then they were broken down into obstructed airway apneas and clear airway apneas. The results are recorded below as apneas with obstructed airway and apneas with clear airway.

    Measured: During a single night of polysomnography lasting an average of 8 hours

  2. Device-Detected Obstructed Airway Apnea Agreement

    Device-Detected Apneas were broken down and then reviewed with the manually scored apneas. Of the Obstructed Airway apneas they were broken down into a few different categories: Manually Scored Obstructive Apneas, Manually Scored Central Apneas, Manually Scored Hypopneas and Manually Scored RERAs.

    Measured: During a single night of polysomnography lasting an average of 8 hours

  3. Device-Detected Clear Airway Apnea Agreement

    Device Detected Clear Airways events were counted by the device. These events were then compared to manual PSG scoring. The manual PSG scoring determined that these were apnea events. However, the manual scoring allows for more channels to be reviewed and manual scoring was able to classify them into 4 different categories: Manually Scored Obstructive Apneas, Manually Scored Central Apneas, Manually scored hypopneas and manually scored RERAs.

    Measured: During a single night of polysomnography lasting an average of 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Manipulation of Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) in people with Sleep Apnea Central and Cheyne-Stokes Respiration, run by Philips Respironics at 3 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 7 inclusion and 10 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 31 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 2 May 2016). 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?

Number of Breathing Events Identified by the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Device Compared to a Simultaneous Polysomnography (time frame: During a single night of polysomnography lasting an average of 8 hours). 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 31 Oct 2018.
