Study of Provent Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients Who Are Non-compliant With CPAP

June 14, 2010 updated by: St. Luke's Hospital, Chesterfield, Missouri

A Non-randomized, Case Series Study of the Effectiveness of Provent Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients Who Are Non-compliant or Minimally Adherent With Positive Airway Pressure Therapy

The primary objective of the proposed investigation is to evaluate the efficacy of the Provent device in a sample of OSA patients who have either refused or been non-adherent with PAP treatment. Both initial efficacy (evaluated after approximately one week with Provent) and efficacy after approximately 5 weeks in patients who demonstrate initial efficacy will be assessed. A secondary objective is to assess adherence with Provent treatment during the 5-week evaluation period.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Current signs and symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of OSA in the opinion of the study physician
  • Rejection of PAP treatment or minimally adherent with PAP treatment
  • Use of the Provent device for a specified amount of time each night during three consecutive nights of the trial period
  • AHI > 15, or AHI > 10 with evidence of CMS-recognized symptoms or co- morbidities, on screening/baseline PSG
  • Investigator believes that subject can benefit from OSA treatment
  • Subject understands and is willing and able to comply with study requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of any device that interferes with nasal or oral breathing
  • Persistent blockage of one or both nostrils which prevents airflow in one or both nostrils
  • Any chronic sores or lesions on the inside or outside of the nose

  • History of allergic reaction to acrylic-based adhesives (such as those found in BAND-AIDS®)
  • Current acute upper respiratory (including nasal, sinus, or middle ear) inflammation or infection or perforation of the tympanic membrane (may be re-considered for participation after the acute episode resolves)
  • History of frequent and/or poorly treated severe nasal allergies or sinusitis which may interfere with the ability to use Provent
  • Severe respiratory disorders (including respiratory muscle weakness, bullous lung disease, bypassed upper airway, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, etc.).
  • Pathologically low blood pressure.
  • Narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnolence, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome, REM sleep behavior disorder or any other diagnosed or suspected sleep disorder other than OSA that could affect the likelihood of apneas/hypopneas during a PSG.

  • Current use of diurnal or nocturnal supplemental oxygen
  • Currently working night or rotating shifts
  • Consumption of > 10 caffeinated beverages per day (approximately 1000 mg per day)
  • History of severe cardiovascular disease, including New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure, coronary artery disease with angina or myocardial infarction in the past 6 months, stroke in the past 6 months
  • History of cardiac rhythm disturbance (defined as a 5-beat run of sustained ventricular tachycardia or bradycardia if < 30 beats per min for a 10-second run or previously undiagnosed and untreated atrial fibrillation or Mobitz II or third-degree heart block)
  • Current psychiatric disorder with psychotic features.
  • Pregnant or trying to become pregnant

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
