About this study

Official title: Evolution With CPAP Treatment of a Cohort of Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Moderate to Severe Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome and Poor Glycemic Control

The main purpose of this study is to measure the evolution of hemoglobin A1c level after treatment with CPAP in a cohort of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with poor glycemic control and associated moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea.

Read the detailed description

Subjects with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes are a high cardiovascular risk group in which a high prevalence of moderate to severe sleep apnea is expected. Studies based on interstitial glycemic measurement demonstrate a reduction in glucose levels when treating sleep apnea with CPAP. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of CPAP in improving glycemic control has been questioned as most studies have failed to demonstrate a reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) level over time. Most of these studies have limitations such as a short follow-up or a suboptimal fulfillment of CPAP treatment. We hypothesize that treating moderate to severe sleep apnea with CPAP will improve glycemic control (measured by HbA1C) at 14 weeks in good compliers and that this improvement will be sustained at one year. We aim to test this hypothesis in consecutive type 2 diabetes patients on stable treatment with HbA1c ≥7% in routine outpatient visits in our Diabetes, Nutrition and Endocrinology Unit. After providing informed consent, patients will be screened for sleep apnea by nocturnal oximetry followed by a diagnostic respiratory polygraphy. Those patients with obstructive sleep apnea with an apnea-hypopnea index ≥20 will be invited to enter the study. After a 3-month observation period without any intervention to rule out a potential influence of entering the study on HbA1C levels, patients will be treated with CPAP. HbA1C levels will be measured at baseline, after 14 weeks, and thereafter every 14 weeks until completing one year of treatment. Other endocrine, metabolic and cardiovascular risk variables will be determined at baseline and at 14 weeks of the intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure CPAP in people with Sleep Apnea and Type 2 Diabetes, run by Hospital de Granollers at 1 site in Spain.

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 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 6 Jan 2015. 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 Spain. 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 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 Hemoglobine A1C from baseline (time frame: 14, 28, 42 and 56 weeks after initial intervention.). 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 6 Jan 2015.
