About this study

Official title: Feasibility Evaluation of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Synchrone in the Acute Phase of Stroke

This project is focused on the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in the acute phase of stroke. Stroke is a frequent pathology with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Although it has now been proved that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a risk factor of stroke, on the other hand, there is evidence that 50 to 70% of patients in the acute phase of stroke have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥ 10. OSA is associated with worse functional outcomes and higher mortality in the post-stroke period. Profound hemodynamic fluctuations and hypoxia generated by sleep apnea are likely to aggravate cerebral ischemia, particularly in the acute phase of stroke in the potentially reversible ischemic penumbra. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the primary treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.

Yet, to our knowledge, there have been very few studies aimed at demonstrating the value of CPAP in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in the acute phase of stroke. Only one randomised trial has provided the means to document neurological improvement at mid term (1 month) in a targeted population.

Before undertaking a comparative study evaluating the efficacy of CPAP in the acute phase of ischemic stroke, it is worth evaluating the feasibility and tolerance of introducing CPAP at the very early stage of ischemic stroke. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to evaluate the feasibility of CPAP in the treatment of OSA in the acute phase of ischemic stroke.

What is being measured

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

  1. CPAP feasibility

    Number of patients for which CPAP is used for a minimum of 3 hours per night over 5 nights. CPAP feasibility is retained if at least 50% of all patients have had the use of CPAP for at least 3 hours per night over 5 nights.

    Measured: day 5

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Feasibility of the ventilatory polygraph

    Number of readable polygraph recordings. A readable recording is defined as a minimum duration of 6 hours of recording with signals of a sufficient quality.

    Measured: night 1

  2. Tolerance of CPAP by patient per night

    Evaluation of CPAP tolerance according to a score as per the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) for pain ranging from 0: "No tolerance" to 10: "Excellent tolerance" per night of use of CPAP device

    Measured: 5 nights

  3. Number of hypotensive episodes per night per patient

    Number of hypotensive episodes per night per patient by non-invasive measuring of blood pressure during the period of use of the CPAP device and defined according to systolic BP of < 90 mm Hg or drop of 40 mmHg with respect to the basic parameter.

    Measured: 5 nights

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 20 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 13 Aug 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 France. 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?

CPAP feasibility (time frame: day 5). 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 13 Aug 2015.
