About this study

Official title: KeepMED-away-Obstructive Sleep Apnea Trial: Efficacy and Safety of keepMED Positive Airway Pressure Device in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea - keePaOSA

A prospective, multi-centre, single-arm, open-label, interventional study with a non-marketed medical device.

The primary study objective is to assess the efficacy of the keepMED PAP device on modification of respiratory characteristics in patients with OSA at one therapy night in a sleep lab.

Secondarily, the safety of the use of the device in this setting is assessed.

Read the detailed description

The study includes a baseline visit, a habituation night, and a therapy night. Both nights will be undertaken in the sleep lab under identical conditions and will include the keepMED PAP therapy activated in parallel to polysomnography (PSG).

Baseline diagnostic PSG, performed within one month prior to enrollment to the study, will be used to assess the device efficacy.

An interim analysis to re-estimate the sample size will be performed after availability of data of 50% enrolled and treated study patients. The sample size will be re-estimated based on the observed changes of AHI in the interim analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • keepMED PAP deviceDevice

    The keepMED PAP device is an automatic, wearable positive airway pressure device indicated for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. A therapeutic pressure is delivered to the patient upper airway through a nasal interface. It is similar to other marketed positive airway pressure devices with respect to its fundamental use of positive airway pressure for the treatment of sleep apnea as well as with regard to its functional components and accessories (e.g., a PAP unit, a mask/nasal interface, an air filter, tubing, etc.).

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI)

    Efficacy by means of changes of the AHI comparing baseline measures in a sleep lab night without keepMED PAP therapy with measures during one therapy night in a sleep lab.

    Measured: A single therapy night compared to baseline (conducted approx 1 month before the therapy night)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Changes in oxygen desaturation index (ODI)

    Changes in ODI comparing baseline measures in a sleep lab night without keepMED PAP therapy with measures during one therapy night in a sleep lab

    Measured: A single therapy night compared to baseline (conducted approx 1 month before the therapy night)

  2. Changes in arousal index (sleep quality)

    Changes in arousal index comparing baseline measures in a sleep lab night without keepMED PAP therapy with measures during one therapy night in a sleep lab

    Measured: A single therapy night compared to baseline (conducted approx 1 month before the therapy night)

  3. Number of adverse events

    Safety of the device use by means of adverse events in patients using the keepMED PAP device

    Measured: Throughout the study, an average of 2-7 days per subject

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing keepMED PAP device in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by keepMED Ltd..

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 6 inclusion and 21 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 2 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Pierre-Charles Neuzeret, PhD (+49 152 554 22500, pierre-charles@keepmed.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes of Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) (time frame: A single therapy night compared to baseline (conducted approx 1 month before the therapy night)). 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 2 Sep 2021.
