Tailored Intervention to Promote Positive Airway Pressure Adherence (SCIP-PA)

September 30, 2016 updated by: Amy M. Sawyer, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center

Phase I Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial: Sociocultural and Cognitive Perception Intervention to Promote Positive Airway Pressure Adherence

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of a tailored (i.e., individualized) intervention to promote adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) in adults with newly-diagnosed, CPAP treated, obstructive sleep apnea.

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.

Detailed Description

Poor adherence to CPAP is a significant problem among OSA patients resulting in suboptimal health and functional outcomes. Intervention studies to promote CPAP adherence have shown relatively small effects in selected samples and were costly. The overall objective of this research is to examine the effect, feasibility, and acceptability of a tailored intervention on CPAP adherence among adults with newly-diagnosed, CPAP treated OSA. The central hypothesis is that critically timed tailored interventions that focus on sociocultural aspects and cognitive perceptions of the individual experience with OSA diagnosis and treatment will improve overall CPAP adherence rates. The pilot randomized controlled trial will examine CPAP adherence outcomes at 1wk, 1mo, and 3mo among those randomly assigned to the tailored intervention or usual (standard) care and examine specific feasibility and participant acceptability outcomes in order to design and conduct a subsequent larger randomized controlled trial testing the overall efficacy of the tailored intervention.

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

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: Tailored
Tailored, or individualized, intervention addressing patient education, skills training, and cognitive perceptions
Behavioral: Tailored
Individualized on critical indicator (Self-efficacy measure in Sleep Apnea) measured at each intervention delivery period (pre-diagnosis, immediately post-diagnosis, post-CPAP titration, and during week 1 of home CPAP treatment. Intervention components include patient education, preparatory skills training, modification of inaccurate/unrealistic cognitive perceptions of risk, outcome expectations, and treatment self-efficacy
Other Names:
  • Individualized
Active Comparator: Usual care
The comparison group, usual care, includes the standard of care delivered to all newly-diagnosed OSA persons proceeding to CPAP treatment
Other: Usual care
Usual care comparison group will proceed from initial clinical evaluation for OSA, diagnosis by polysomnography, CPAP titration polysomnography, and home CPAP treatment initiation as per current standard of care
Other Names:
  • standard of care
