About this study

Official title: Evaluating the Efficacy of Positive Airway Pressure Therapy for Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the Home Environment

This study will take between 4-6 months (with first patient first visit to last patient last visit expected to span 3-4 months across all study sites). Each participant will use the investigational PAP device with their own mask for a period of up to 7 nights and will complete a series of questionnaires upon completion. The study will evaluate the usability and efficacy of the investigational device in the intended use environment by the intended use population.

Read the detailed description

A new PAP device has been developed by ResMed which includes an improved humidification system, a new user interface and optimized workflows. This study will assess the efficacy and usability of the new PAP device in an OSA population.

This is a prospective, open-label, single arm study, multi-site study to assess the usability and efficacy of investigational device in the home environment.

Recruitment Recruitment will be done via phone calls/ SMS messages/ emails. Participants will be explained the details of the study and those who wish to take part will be invited to a ResMed clinic or selected site for the first study visit (As detailed in section 7).

Visit 1 Participants will provide written informed consent (as per section 6.1). If eligible, baseline participant demographics will be collected. Participants will be shown the investigation device. If the participant is happy to proceed the investigational device will be set-up to be exactly the same as their current CPAP device, and the participant will take it home to use in place of their own device.

Visit 2 At the conclusion of the 7 nights of use, the participant will be asked to fill in a questionnaire documenting their experience with the investigational device. The participant will return all study equipment to the researcher. The questionnaires will be reviewed. This concludes the participation in the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) TherapyDevice

    PAP therapy supplies pressurized air from the flow generator to the upper airway via air tubing and a mask to prevent the repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep.

Study groups in NCT04744038
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Investigational DeviceExperimentalParticipants will then be asked to take home the investigational device to use at night while they sleep in place of their own device. The participant's therapy and comfort settings will be copied from their own device to the investigational device. Participants will use their own mask with the investigational device for the duration of this study.
Receives: Device: Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Usability

    Subjective ratings of the Usability of the Pacific device after using it in the home environment for up to 7 nights. Ratings will be collected using an 11 point Likert Scale where a score of 10 is considered very favorable, and a score of 0 is very unfavorable.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI)

    Number of residual Apnea Hypopnea events within a clinically acceptable range when using the Pacific device in the home environment for a up to 7 nights.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Usage-Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Device parameters

    Average number of hours per night of use of the Pacific Device during sleep sessions from up to 7 nights

    Measured: 1 week

  3. Leak-Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Device parameters

    Average median, 95 percentile and maximum leak(L/min) while using the Pacific device from up to 7 nights

    Measured: 1 week

  4. Pressure-Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Device parameters

    Average pressure delivered by the Pacific device between 4cmH2O-20cmH2O from use up to 7 nights

    Measured: 1 week

  5. Acoustic Signals

    Cross-correlation of the acoustic signals recorded from the patient environment and the external recording in the controlled laboratory environment identification algorithm.

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Therapy in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), run by ResMed at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 13 Jul 2021. 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, Australia. 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?

Usability (time frame: 1 week). 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 13 Jul 2021.
