About this study

The purpose of this research study is to test a new approach for treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea and/or snoring. The new nasal device, nastent (NAS: nasal airway stent), appears to be a useful alternative or additive treatment.

Read the detailed description

The nasal stent basically helps to splint the soft palate open. Subjects have a baseline (diagnostic) sleep study without wearing the device. Subjects are then fitted with the device and then subjects wear the device for at least 7 nights during their sleep while at home. Subjects then return for a repeat in-laboratory sleep study while wearing the device. The primary outcome is to assess the effectiveness of the device by change in the apnea-hypopnea index (number of sleep-related abnormal breathing events per hour of sleep) while wearing the device compared to baseline.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NastentExperimentalA baseline sleep study is obtained from the subject, without wearing the device. The individual wears the device at home for at least 7 nights, and then returns to the sleep lab for an in-laboratory sleep study while wearing the device.
Receives: Device: Nastent

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)

    Abnormal breathing events (apneas = complete pauses in oronasal airflow; hypopneas = decreases in oronasal airflow) per hour of sleep. This is measured through polysomnography (sleep study) by a nasal thermistor and oral pressure sensor.

    Measured: In-lab sleep study obtained at least 7 nights following use of the device at home

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nastent in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 15 Jan 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) (time frame: In-lab sleep study obtained at least 7 nights following use of the device at home). 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 15 Jan 2019.
