About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial of a New Mask Vent, Designed to Reduce Noise of Mask Venting

As continuous positive airway pressure is the treatment of choice for OSA, a mask is vital in ensuring the effectiveness of therapy delivery. The study will evaluate the performance and usability of the new mask vent. This is done by comparing the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of patients, who will apply 2 different washing procedures to the new mask, at the end of the study and their baseline data obtained at the beginning of the study.The study will also assess the breathing comfort as well as obtaining subjective data on the usability of the new mask vent system.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. The apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) will be recorded and analysed.

    Breathing disruption events per hour of sleep will be measured and analysed

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The level of comfort patients experience while using the new mask vent

    Patients will complete a questionnaire regarding the noise of the new vent

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Patient's and bed partner's perceptions of the mask vent

    Patients partners will complete a questionnaire regarding the noise of the mask vent

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP mask in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), run by ResMed 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 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

The apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) will be recorded and analysed. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 1 Mar 2021.
