Montelukast for Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (MONTSAS)

February 15, 2021 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble

Impact of Blocked Cysteinyl Leukotriene Pathway on Endothelial Function in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Multicenter Randomized Placebo Controlled Crossover Trial

This study compares the effect of Montelukast vs Placebo on Flow Mediated Dilatation of the Brachial Artery (FMD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Study Overview

Status

Terminated

Detailed Description

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) induces low-grade systemic and vascular inflammation, including activation of the leukotriene pathway.

In apneic patients, the urinary excretion of LTE4, a systemic marker of CysLT pathway activation, is increased in relation to the severity of OSAS and it's an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk event occurring at 10 years.

Montelukast is a CysLT1 receptor antagonist. By blocking CysLT1 receptors, montelukast prevents vasoconstriction, proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells, adhesion molecule expression, and leukocyte recruitment induced by CysLTs.Montelukast may improve endothelial function and reduce vascular remodeling in apneic patients.

A pharmacological blockade of CysLT pathway would be an interesting therapeutic strategy to limit the cardiovascular consequences of OSAS.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • With mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (apnea / hypopnea index> 15 and <30 events per hour)
  • Little symptomatic (Epworth sleepiness score <10)
  • Polysomnography within 3 months prior to inclusion
  • With a history of myocardial infarction or stroke
  • Affiliation to Social Security or beneficiary of such a scheme
  • Signed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • OSAS support by PPC
  • Cancer
  • Chronic inflammatory disease
  • Asthma previously treated with Montelukast
  • Chronic infectious disease
  • Epworth sleepiness scale ≥10
  • Contraindication to Montelukast: Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to the excipients
  • Contraindications to trinitrin: hypersensitivity to nitrates, state of shock, severe hypotension, association with sildenafil, obstructive cardiomyopathy, inferior right sided myocardial infarction with right ventricular extension, acute, except in case of signs left ventricular failure, intracranial hypertension, breastfeeding
