Trial summary

Patients with treatment-naive obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who need continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on clinical basis are included as well as healthy controls without OSA. 15 cc peripheral venous blood is drawn on the date of diagnosis of OSA and 3-6 months after CPAP therapy.

About this study

Official title: Impact of Intermittent Hypoxia on Phagocytosis and Sepsis Outcomes: the Potential Role of Statin (Part III: Human Study in 2018-2019)

Patients with treatment-naive obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who need continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on clinical basis are included as well as healthy controls without OSA. 15 cc peripheral venous blood is drawn on the date of diagnosis of OSA and 3-6 months after CPAP therapy. Granulocytes are harvested and tested for its function, such as phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and bacteria-killing ability.

Read the detailed description

Patients with treatment-naive obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who need continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on clinical basis are included. Healthy controls without OSA are enrolled, too. 15 cc peripheral venous blood is drawn on the date of diagnosis of OSA and 3-6 months after CPAP therapy (not given to controls). Granulocytes are harvested and tested for its function, such as phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and bacteria-killing ability.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea of Adult, run by Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan at 1 site 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kun-Ta Chou, M.D (+886922407055, ale1371@yahoo.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Granuolocyte function (time frame: On enrollment). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Mar 2019.
