About this study

Evaluation of the effect of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure ) treatment in PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension) and CTEPH (chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension) patients suffering from sleep disordered breathing.

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the effect of CPAP therapy on pulmonary vascular resistance in PAH and CTEPH patients suffering from sleep disordered breathing.

The secondary endpoints are the effect of CPAP on right atrium and right ventricle diameter and ejection fraction measured by echocardiography, 6 minutes walk distance, NYHA class, QOL, endothelial function, sympathetic activity and prognosis.

Medical subject headings
Sleep Apnea Syndromes, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP in people with Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2023. 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 Belgium. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Not enough participants). Results are not available in the source record.

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 in PVR (pulmonary vascular resistance) (time frame: change in PVR from inclusion at 6 months). 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 27 Jan 2023.
