CPAP vs ASV for Insomnia (P2P)

August 13, 2021 updated by: ResMed

PAP to PAP: CPAP vs ASV for Insomnia Randomized Controlled Trial

The study will determine which of two different types of positive airway pressure (PAP therapy) modes are more effective in reducing sleep breathing events in chronic insomnia patients and in decreasing insomnia severity.

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.

Detailed Description

Patients presenting to the sleep clinic with a primary complaint of insomnia will be potential participants for this study. Following diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) testing, insomnia patients diagnosed with SDB and meeting inclusion criteria will be randomized to a PAP treatment arm, CPAP or ASV. Participants will complete titration studies with their assigned PAP mode and attend clinical follow-up appointments over a 14-16 week timeframe. Titration PSG studies will assess PAP pressure needs to ensure that patients are receiving optimal therapy at all times during this study. PAP adaptation barriers will be addressed as they arise during the study, because it is important that participants are able to use PAP therapy nightly during participation in this protocol. Baseline scores on insomnia severity, sleep quality, subjective insomnia parameters, sleep related impairment, and quality of life will be compared to outcome measures at the 4 month mark. Pre-treatment and post-treatment objective improvements on sleep studies will also be compared including sleep breathing indices, sleep consolidation indices, and objective data download information.

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

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Insomnia Severity Index
Time Frame: Baseline and 4 months
Change in insomnia severity from baseline to 4 months as measured by subjective questionnaire. The Insomnia Severity Index has seven questions. The seven answers are added up for a total score. Scores range from 0 - 28. A higher score indicates a more severe degree of insomnia.
Baseline and 4 months

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sleep Quality Rating
Time Frame: Baseline and 4 months
8 point Likert scale for change in subjective sleep quality from baseline to 4 months. Lower scores indicated more positive sleep quality. A score 0 indicates excellent sleep quality, and a score of 7 indicates very poor sleep quality
Baseline and 4 months
Global Morning Rating
Time Frame: 4 months
Change in subjective rating from baseline to 4 months based on a 0-100% scale. Lower scores equal a more positive experience
4 months
Sleep Onset Latency
Time Frame: 4 months
Change in from baseline to 4 months in sleep onset time (minutes)
4 months
Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO)
Time Frame: 4 months
