  • Current use of medication or other treatment which, in the investigator's opinion, may pose additional risk to the subject or confound the results of the study.
  • Potential sleep apnea complications that, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect the health or safety of the participant, including: low blood oxygen, recent near-miss or prior automobile accident due to sleepiness, reported history of severe cardiovascular disease (including New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure, CAD with angina or myocardial infarction (MI)/stroke in past 6 months, uncontrolled hypertension or hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias), reported respiratory disorders, or use of medication or other treatment which may pose additional risk to the subject or confound the results of the study.

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Pilot Study on the Indications of Negative Pressure Sleep Therapy System for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

This is a pilot study to investigate the efficacy and safety of the Negative Pressure Sleep Therapy System for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-lable, single-arm, evaluator-blind and prospective study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the Negative Pressure Sleep Therapy System for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Being tested
iNAP® Sleep Therapy System
Keywords
OSA, Oral Pressure Therapy (OPT)
Medical subject headings
Sleep Apnea, Obstructive

What participants receive

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

  • iNAP® Sleep Therapy SystemDevice

    Also called Negative Pressre Sleep Therapy System, iNAP®

    The iNAP® Sleep Therapy System provides pressure gradient within the oral cavity to pull the tongue toward upper palate and the soft palate forward, which aims to maintain better upper airway patency near the pharynx to prevent sleep-disordered breathing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline of Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)

    The study was terminated. No enough samples for statistical analysis.

    Measured: One treatment night

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from baseline of obstructive apnea reduction

    The study was terminated. No enough samples for statistical analysis.

    Measured: One treatment night

  2. Change from baseline of oxygen desaturation index (ODI)

    The study was terminated. No enough samples for statistical analysis.

    Measured: One treatment night

  3. Adverse event (AE)/ serious adverse event (SAE) rate and type

    During the entire study period, a total of only 9 events were reported by 8 patients.

    Measured: From informed consent form obtained to the end of study, average of 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iNAP® Sleep Therapy System in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Somnics, Inc. at 4 sites in Taiwan.

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 9 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?

Change from baseline of Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) (time frame: One treatment night). 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?
