Trial summary

The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that a new device would produce a significant decrease in obstructive breathing events during sleep as indexed by the Apnea Hyperpnoea Index (AHI) or Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) and measures of oxygen saturation during sleep.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy Study of the keePAP Device in Reducing the Number of Obstructive Breathing Events

The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that a new device would produce a significant decrease in obstructive breathing events during sleep as indexed by the Apnea Hyperpnoea Index (AHI) or Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) and measures of oxygen saturation during sleep.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome is a disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction that occur during sleep. Associated features include loud snoring and fragmented non-refreshing sleep and have profound impact on quality of life, on safety on the roads and at work, and on the cardiovascular and metabolic systems.

The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that a new device would produce a significant decrease in obstructive breathing events during sleep as indexed by the AHI/RDI and measures of oxygen saturation during sleep.

What is being measured

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

    Measured: one night

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient comfort

    Patients will be asked to report their sleep experience and if any difficulties or discomfort was encountered.

    Measured: one night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing keePAP in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by keepMED Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. 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?

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?

AHI/RDI and oxygen saturation during sleep (time frame: one night). 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 NCT01809418, 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 3 Apr 2018.
