Trial summary

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome is a disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction that occur during sleep. The standard treatment for apnea remains a device consisting of a pump and nasal mask that provide continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Self-controlled, Feasibility Study to Evaluate Appscent Device Safety and Effectiveness for Relief of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Syndrome in Adults.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome is a disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction that occur during sleep.

The standard treatment for apnea remains a device consisting of a pump and nasal mask that provide continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The major disadvantage of CPAP is the relatively low compliance.

Appscent developed a non-contact effortless bedside solution based on the following: odors modify respiratory patterns during wake . Mildly trigeminal and pure olfactory odorants do not arouse or wake.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome is a disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction that occur during sleep. OSA lead to desaturation and often lead to an arousal.

Associated features include loud snoring and fragmented non-refreshing sleep and have profound impact on quality of life, on safety on the roads and at work, and on the cardiovascular and metabolic systems.

The standard treatment for apnea remains a device consisting of a pump and nasal mask that provide continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAP acts as a pneumatic splint that elevates and maintains a constant pressure along the upper airway during inspiration and expiration that prevents airway collapse. The major disadvantage of CPAP is the relatively low compliance.

Appscent developed a non-contact effortless bedside solution based on the following: odors modify respiratory patterns during wake . Mildly trigeminal and pure olfactory odorants do not arouse or wake. Odorants transiently presented during sleep induced a respiratory rejection type response, this suggests that manipulating the respiratory system without waking is viable .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Appscent Device in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Y.A. Appscent Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 13 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 4 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 Israel. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Safety event frequency (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 4 Jan 2023.
