Acetazolamide Add-On Therapy to OSA Surgery (ACTOS)
Acetazolamide as add-on Therapy to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Surgery (ACTOS): a Parallel-group, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Trial

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Seventy-four patients with diagnosed moderate to severe OSA will be equally (1:1) randomized to AZM (250 mg twice daily) or placebo add-on therapy after surgery. Two surgical procedures will be performed throughout the study: barbed reposition pharyngoplasty (BRP) and upper airway stimulation (UAS) using electrical neurostimulation of the hypoglossal nerve.
Treatment allocation will occur after a satisfactory recovery in patients undergoing BRP and after titration of the device settings in patients treated with UAS. Treatment outcome will be assessed approximately 10 weeks thereafter by in-laboratory polysomnography. Two on-site follow-up visits will be scheduled to assess adherence and adverse events. The maximum treatment duration per participant will amount to 16 weeks.
Besides the aforementioned core clinical part, the study protocol will also include an optional exploratory part prior to surgery, assessing the physiological OSA traits and airflow features by means of polysomnography and drug-induced sleep endoscopy research measurements.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Acetazolamide
Acetazolamide will be prescribed in unembellished white capsules of 250 mg.
The drug will be administered twice daily in the morning and evening (approximately one hour before bedtime).
The total treatment length will amount to 16 weeks.
In case of side effects hampering treatment adherence, the daily dosage will be reduced to a single evening dose of 250 mg.
|
Oral acetazolamide tablets of 250 mg taken twice daily.
Other Names:
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
The placebo regimen will be identical.
|
Matching placebo tablets taken twice daily.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)
Time Frame: 10 weeks of add-on therapy
|
Change in AHI (events/h) from baseline to follow-up.
The AHI is an index of sleep apnea severity that encompasses the frequency of apneas (cessations in breathing) and hypopneas (reductions in airflow).
|
10 weeks of add-on therapy
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Oxygen desaturation index (ODI)
Time Frame: 10 weeks of add-on therapy
|
Change in ODI (events/h) from baseline to follow-up.
The ODI represents the average number of desaturation episodes (≥3%) per hour sleep.
|
10 weeks of add-on therapy
|
Oxygen saturation (SaO2)
Time Frame: 10 weeks of add-on therapy
|
Change in mean and minimal SaO2 (%) from baseline to follow-up.
|
10 weeks of add-on therapy
|
Changes in daytime sleepiness measured with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)
Time Frame: 16 weeks of add-on therapy
|
The questionnaire asks subjects to rate their probability of falling asleep on a scale from 0 to 3 for eight different situations that most people encounter in their daily lives.
The scores for the eight questions are added together to obtain a single number (0-24).
An ESS score higher than 10 indicates the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness.
|
16 weeks of add-on therapy
|
Changes in sleep-related quality of life measured with the Functional Outcome of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ-10)
Time Frame: 16 weeks of add-on therapy
|
This questionnaire is an abbreviated version of the original 30-item version.
The FOSQ-10 consists of 10 items that are distributed among 5 subscales: general productivity (2 items), activity level (3 items), vigilance (3 items), social outcomes (1 item), and intimacy and sexual relationships (1 item).
The questionnaire has a 4-point scale.
The total score is calculated as the sum of the subscale means and can range from 5 to 20.
The minimal important difference ranges from 1.7 to 2.0 points.
|
16 weeks of add-on therapy
|
Changes in snoring intensity measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 16 weeks of add-on therapy
|
If patients have a bed partner, a standard 10-point VAS ranging from 0 (no snoring) to 10 (extreme snoring causing the bed partner to leave the bedroom or sleep separately) will be used to evaluate the subjective status of snoring during sleep.
Heavy snoring corresponds to a snoring index of at least 7.
A decrease of 3 points after treatment is considered significant.
A satisfactory improvements is defined as a reduction to an index that is no longer experiences as bothersome (i.e.
<3).

Time Frame: 16 weeks of add-on therapy
|
