About this study

Official title: Non-inferiority Randomized Control Trial About Efficacy and Cost-effectiveness of Home Respiratory Polygraphy Management in Sleep Apneas/Hypopneas Syndrome

Primary objectives:

The efficacy of the therapeutic decision taken by respiratory polygraphy (RP) against polysomnography (PSG) using the Epworth scale;

Secondary Objective:

  1. the cost-effectiveness of diagnosis and therapeutic decision valued using the Epworth Scale and EuroQol 5D.
  2. effectiveness of the therapeutic decision by means of: 1) quality of life tests, 2) adherence and compliance to treatment, 3) blood pressure MAP, 4) biochemistry determinations. Design: prospective, randomized, controlled, open, parallel of non-inferiority. 440 patients will be randomized to diagnose and follow treatment based on the RP or the PSG. The follow-up will last 6 months with 4 assessments. Statistical analysis: We will compare the change in the Epworth scale between both arms of treatment through analysis of covariance. The premise of non-inferiority is -2 at the lower limit of 95% IC. Secondary variables will be analyzed using differences in independent means (or non-parametric equivalent) or Chi2 for dichotomous variables. Cost-effectiveness: costs generated by one and another method will be evaluated against the effectiveness of the primary variable using Bayesian techniques
Read the detailed description

Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled, open, parallel noninferiority. 440 patients will be randomized to diagnose and follow treatment based on the PR or PSG generating four groups: two treated and two untreated with CPAP. The latter did not undergo self-certification home. The monitoring will be 6 months and 4 assessments. Statistical analysis: compare the change of the scale Epworth before and after the intervention between both treatment arms using analysis of covariance. The premise is non-inferiority of -1.6 at the lower limit of 95%. Secondary variables were analyzed by independent means differences (or nonparametric equivalent) or Chi2 for dichotomous variables. Cost-effectiveness: the costs generated by the two methods will be measured against the effectiveness of the primary endpoint using Bayesian techniques

What participants receive

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

  • diagnosis and therapeutic decisionProcedure or surgery

    A conventional polysomnography will be done to perform the diagnosis and therapeutic decision(CPAP or not). Treated and untreated will be followed 6 moths

  • diagnosis and therapeutic decisionProcedure or surgery

    A home respiratory polygraphy will be done to perform the diagnosis and therapeutic decision(CPAP or not). Treated and untreated will be followed 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing diagnosis and therapeutic decision in people with Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Sociedad Española de Neumología y Cirugía Torácica 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 8 Feb 2017. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Determine the efficacy of diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making evaluated using Epworth sleepiness scale as primary variable in patients managed by home RP and by PSG after six months of follow-up. (time frame: Six 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 NCT01752556, 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 8 Feb 2017.
