Evaluation of an Algorithm to Detect Sleep and Wake in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) (PBSW)

April 1, 2013 updated by: Philips Respironics

Evaluation of an Algorithm to Detect Sleep and Wake in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Users Using Paced Breathing

The purpose of this engineering trial is to develop and validate an algorithm that will deliver Paced Breathing as a ramp feature to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. In this trial the investigators will be evaluating the algorithm's ability to correctly distinguish between sleep and wake.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

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

21 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Paced Breathing Sleep/Wake detection
All subjects enrolled will have oobstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and will be current Continuous Positive Airway Pressur (CPAP) users.
Device: Paced Breathing
The Paced Breathing (PB) feature(when activated) will work to relax the user and help them fall asleep by encouraging them to take deep slow breaths until they reach 10 breaths (or less) per minute. The feature will also detect when the subject has fallen asleep so the Continuous Positive Airway Pressur (CPAP) device will automatically switch from PB mode to regular CPAP mode.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sleep/Wake Algorithm
Time Frame: The performance of the algorithm will be evaluated in real time while the subject is wearing the device during the sleep study, an average of 08 hours.
We tested the ability of the Sleep/Wake algorithm to identify sleep an wake periods with precision, as compared to standard polysonography (PSG) measures, which was used as the gold standard, i.e. we tested the accuracy of the algorithm. Accuracy was defined as the proportion of true results (both true positives and true negatives)in the population and it was assesed using as 2 X 2 table, i.e. accuracy = number of true positives + number of true negatives/ number of true positives + false positives + false negatives +true negatives. where True positive = the algorithm tested correctly identified sleep, False positive = the algorithm tested incorrectly identified sleep, True negative = the algorithm tested correctly rejected awake periods, and False negative = the algorithm tested incorrectly rejected awake periods.
The performance of the algorithm will be evaluated in real time while the subject is wearing the device during the sleep study, an average of 08 hours.
