About this study

Official title: Clinical and Neurophysiological Characteristics of Narcolepsy in Russia Basing on Clinical, Polysomnographic and Genome-wide Association Analyses of Narcolepsy With Cataplexy: a European Narcolepsy Network Study of 2013

The study is the first attempt in post-Soviet Russian history to collect and analyze the existing available data of narcolepsy cohort in order to get prove characteristics of narcolepsy in Russia according to known data. Investigators created the system of national narcolepsy centers in Russia - Russian narcolepsy network, with a purpose of collecting clinical and neurophysiological data with subsequent analyze and formation of Russian narcolepsy profile.

Read the detailed description

First reports of narcolepsy with cataplexy in Russia were made by Mankovsky in 1925 (narcolepsy with cataplexy, NC). The largest series of patients (n=110) was reported by A. Vein in 1964. Narcolepsy remains however until today relatively unknown in Russia. The aim of this study is to report clinical and polysomnographic (PSG)/multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) results in a Russian population and compare them with the European narcolepsy network (n=1099) reported (Luca G, Haba-Rubio J, Dauvilliers Y, Lammers GJ, Overeem S, Donjacour CE, Mayer G, Javidi S, Iranzo A, Santamaria J, Peraita-Adrados R, Hor H, Kutalik Z, Plazzi G, Poli F, Pizza F, Arnulf I, Lecendreux M, Bassetti C, Mathis J, Heinzer R, Jennum P, Knudsen S, Geisler P, Wierzbicka A, Feketeova E, Pfister C, Khatami R, Baumann C, Tafti M; European Narcolepsy Network. Clinical, polysomnographic and genome-wide association analyses of narcolepsy with cataplexy: a European Narcolepsy Network study. J Sleep Res. 2013 Oct;22(5):482-95. doi: 10.1111/jsr.12044. Epub 2013 Mar 18. PMID: 23496005., 2013).

For the purpose of this study only patients with narcolepsy with cataplexy were considered because of the uncertainty about the diagnosis of narcolepsy without cataplexy.

In order to create a network of sleep centers with expertise/interest in narcolepsy 79 centers from 27 Russian cities were connected in 2019. A total of 11 centers officially joined the Russian Narcolepsy Network (rnane.ru) and agreed to participate in the current study. A standardized questionnaire, similar to the one reported by the EU-NN in a series of 1099 patients (Luca G, Haba-Rubio J, Dauvilliers Y, Lammers GJ, Overeem S, Donjacour CE, Mayer G, Javidi S, Iranzo A, Santamaria J, Peraita-Adrados R, Hor H, Kutalik Z, Plazzi G, Poli F, Pizza F, Arnulf I, Lecendreux M, Bassetti C, Mathis J, Heinzer R, Jennum P, Knudsen S, Geisler P, Wierzbicka A, Feketeova E, Pfister C, Khatami R, Baumann C, Tafti M; European Narcolepsy Network. Clinical, polysomnographic and genome-wide association analyses of narcolepsy with cataplexy: a European Narcolepsy Network study. J Sleep Res. 2013 Oct;22(5):482-95. doi: 10.1111/jsr.12044. Epub 2013 Mar 18. PMID: 23496005., 2013) was sent by mail to the 11 centers. The questionnaire included the following parameters:

  1. Demographic characteristics: date of birth, gender, height, weight, BMI(body mass index) at diagnosis.
  2. Age at EDS (excessive daytime sleepines) onset and age at cataplexy onset. Investigators defined the age at onset of NC(narcolepsy with cataplexy) as the age at occurrence of EDS and/or cataplexy, determined during the clinical interview.
  3. Frequency of cataplexy attacks at diagnosis. The frequency of cataplexy was assessed by a scale from 1 to 5, reporting rare to very frequent cataplexy attacks: 1 = one or less cataplexy attacks per year; 2 = more than one cataplexy attack per year but less than one per month; 3 = more than one attack per month but less than one per week; 4 = more than one per week but less than one per day; 5 = at least one cataplexy attack per day.
  4. ESS (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) score at diagnosis.
  5. Polysomnographic variables [sleep onset latency at diagnosis, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and periodic leg movements during sleep index (PLMSI) when available] and MSLT results (mean sleep latency, number of SOREMPs) at diagnosis. Even if the recording procedures were different among centers, most of the patients underwent nocturnal in-lab PSG followed by an MSLT as part of the diagnostic evaluation. For PSG and MSLT, sleep latency was defined as the time from lights off to the first epoch scored as sleep. A SOREMP was defined as the occurrence of an epoch of REM(rapid eye movement) sleep within 15 min after the first epoch scored as sleep. Although MSLT was performed according to standard methods (Carskadon MA, Dement WC, Mitler MM, Roth T, Westbrook PR, Keenan S. Guidelines for the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT): a standard measure of sleepiness. Sleep. 1986 Dec;9(4):519-24. doi: 10.1093/sleep/9.4.519. PMID: 3809866.), the number of scheduled naps could be variable. To standardize the results, investigators calculated the percentage of SOREMPs of the total number of naps: percentage of naps with SOREMPs.
  6. Associated features, with particular attention to symptoms frequently reported with narcolepsy: sleep paralysis (SP); hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations (HH); and poor nocturnal sleep.
  7. Co-morbidities (sleep-related, somatic or psychiatric) and treatment when available.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Russia. 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?

date of birth (time frame: during 1-3 years after beginning and when patient and data are available). The study lists 15 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 NCT05375890, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
