Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery Trial (Sleep SMART)

March 29, 2024 updated by: Devin L. Brown, MD, University of Michigan
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Sleep SMART has a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) design. It is a multi-site, parallel-group superiority trial that compares 6 months of OSA treatment to usual care. The study includes two trials: a prevention study with an embedded recovery trial. 3062 subjects will be randomized over 5 years at 110 sites within the NINDS-funded StrokeNet clinical trials network.

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

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. TIA with ABCD2 ≥4 or ischemic stroke, within the prior 14 days.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. pre-event inability to perform all of own basic ADLs
  2. unable to obtain informed consent from subject or legally authorized representative
  3. incarcerated
  4. known pregnancy
  5. current mechanical ventilation (can enroll later if this resolves) or tracheostomy
  6. current use of positive airway pressure, or use within one month prior to stroke
  7. anatomical or dermatologic anomaly that makes use of CPAP interface unfeasible
  8. severe bullous lung disease
  9. history of prior spontaneous pneumothorax or current pneumothorax
  10. hypotension requiring current treatment with pressors (can enroll later if this resolves)
  11. other specific medical circumstances that conceivably, in the opinion of the site PI, could render the patient at risk of harm from use of CPAP
  12. massive epistaxis or previous history of massive epistaxis
  13. cranial surgery or head trauma within the past 6 months, with known or possible CSF leak or pneumocephalus
  14. recent hemicraniectomy or suboccipital craniectomy (i.e. those whose bone has not yet been replaced), or any other recent bone removal procedure for relief of intracranial pressure
  15. current receipt of oxygen supplementation >4 liters per minute
  16. current contact, droplet, respiratory/airborne precautions

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention Arm: CPAP with Usual Care.
6 months of CPAP plus usual medical therapy.
Automatically-adjusting continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered using a study supplied device.
No Intervention: Control Arm: Usual Care.
6 months of usual medical therapy alone.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to Event Combined Outcome: new ischemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome, or all-cause mortality
Time Frame: 6 months post randomization
The primary outcome is a time-to-event outcome defined as a participant having at least one of the following events within 6-months from randomization: new ischemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome or all-cause mortality
6 months post randomization
Modified Rankin Scale Score
Time Frame: 3 months post randomization
Functional outcome as measured by the 9 question modified Rankin Scale (mRS-9Q). The mRS-9Q has 9 questions related to level of function. Outcomes range from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death).
3 months post randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NIH Stroke Score (NIHSS)
Time Frame: 3 months post randomization
Neurological outcome is measured by the NIHSS. The NIHSS scale ranges from 0 (no deficits) to 42.
3 months post randomization
Short Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Score
Time Frame: 3 months post randomization
Cognitive outcome is measured by the Short MoCA. The short MoCA is a 5 minute short version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). This instrument tests phonemic verbal fluency (1 point), delayed recall (5 points), and orientation (6 points) with a score ranging from 0-12.
3 months post randomization
Quality of Life outcome
Time Frame: 3 months post randomization
Quality of life outcome is measured by the shortened Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL). The short SS-QOL has 7 domains that include physical function, language, vision, thinking, energy, mood, and role function. There is 1 question from each domain. The 12 item SS-QOL is calculated by averaging the scores of these 12 questions.
3 months post randomization

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

We will comply with the NIH Data Sharing Policy, Policy on the Dissemination of NIH-Funded Clinical Trial Information, the Clinical Trials Registration and Results Information Submission rule, and StrokeNet SOP on Network Data Sharing Policy. NDMC statisticians will generate data files from each data table and in compliance with HIPAA regulations each table will be de-identified. A minimum number of derived variables necessary to reproduce the primary analysis will be created. Within a year from acceptance of the primary manuscript or no later than two years from database lock, the public-use data sets will be submitted to the NINDS data repository along with final version of the study protocol, data dictionary and a user guide. Data along with signals from sleep apnea recordings will be submitted to the NHLBI National Sleep Research Resource.
