Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The investigators will recruit 120 adult pregnant subjects between 10-20 weeks gestation from Duke Hospital and clinics in Durham, NC over a 20-month period. They will be enrolled into one of two groups: 1) chronic hypertension (on medication or hypertensive blood pressures documented on two clinic visits); 2) normal blood pressure, and not on any treatment for chronic HTN and no history of chronic HTN, and matched for BMI (+/- 3 kg/m2) with the chronic HTN group. The two groups will be matched for BMI to control for the effect of obesity on OSA diagnosis and cHTN.

Who may be able to join

  • Pregnant woman who are patients of:Duke Hospital, Duke Birthing Center (DBC), Duke Perinatal Durham clinic, Inpatients will be recruited from the obstetric antepartum service.
  • Gestational age 10 weeks, 0 days to 20 weeks, 6 days
  • 18 years or older
  • English speaking
  • They will be enrolled into one of two groups:-Chronic hypertension (on medication or hypertensive blood pressures documented on two clinic visits (including prior to pregnancy), -Normal blood pressure, and not on any treatment for chronic HTN and no history of chronic HTN, and matched for BMI (+/- 3 kg/m2) with the chronic HTN group
  • The two groups will be matched for body mass index to control for the effect of obesity on OSA diagnosis and HTN.
  • Subjects will be not be excluded if they have an established diagnosis of OSA that is not currently being treated.

Who cannot join

  • Being treated for OSA
  • On chronic opioids
  • On alpha-blockers (which can interfere with the PAT signal)
  • Have secondary HTN
  • Unwilling to remove nail polish and/or shorten one nail (which can also interfere with the PAT signal)
  • Have a severe allergy to latex
  • Do not speak English.

About this study

Official title: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Pregnant Women With Chronic Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to identify whether pregnant women with chronic hypertension are at significantly higher risk of having undiagnosed OSA and should be routinely screened with home sleep tests. The investigators will recruit 120 pregnant subjects between 10-20 weeks gestation from the Duke High Risk Obstetrics Clinic over a 20-month period. They will be enrolled into one of two groups: 1) chronic hypertension (on medication or hypertensive blood pressures documented at 3 clinic visits); 2) normal blood pressure, and not on any treatment for chronic HTN and no history of chronic HTN, and matched for BMI (+/- 3 kg/m2) with the chronic HTN group. The two groups will be matched for BMI to control for the effect of obesity on OSA diagnosis and cHTN. The primary hypothesis, that OSA prevalence differs between patients with chronic HTN and normotensive controls, will be assessed with a two-group two-sided Fisher's exact test. A Fisher's exact test with a 0.05 two-sided significance level will have 92% power to detect the difference between a normotensive OSA rate of 0.10 and a chronic hypertensive OSA rate of 0.40 when the sample size in each group is 50. There are no risks associated with the use of the home sleep test device, but subjects that have a severe latex allergy should not participate, as the device

What participants receive

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

  • WP200U home sleep study deviceDiagnostic test

    Also called WatchPAT

    WP200U, is a Type III, wrist-worn, FDA-approved home sleep testing device that utilizes finger plethysmography (peripheral arterial tone, oxyhemoglobin saturation and heart rate), actigraphy (movement), acoustic decibel detection (snoring volume), and accelerometry (body position) to help diagnose sleep-related breathing disorders (including snoring), and to give information about sleep stages and position during actual sleep time.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of OSA in pregnant women with chronic HTN

    Measured: 20 months

  2. Prevalence of OSA in pregnant women who are normotensive and BMI-matched to women with chronic HTN

    Measured: 20 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Apnea-hypopnea indices in pregnant women with untreated OSA and cHTN

    Measured: 20 months

  2. Apnea-hypopnea indices in pregnant women with untreated OSA and normotensive.

    Measured: 20 months

  3. Oxygen-desaturation indices in pregnant women with untreated OSA and cHTN

    Measured: 20 months

  4. Oxygen-desaturation indices in pregnant women with untreated OSA and normotensive.

    Measured: 20 months

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 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 24 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

Prevalence of OSA in pregnant women with chronic HTN (time frame: 20 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03230110, 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 24 Sep 2019.
