Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Standard AutoSet algorithm
Treatment: Devices - Modified AutoSet algorithm

Experimental: Unblinded Investigational Arm - Participants participated in an unblinded investigational phase of the trial prior to, and separate from, the single-blind cross-over phase of the trial. Data was collected from the his phase to aid the final development of the algorithm before proceeding to algorithm validation (ie. cross-over phase).

Active comparator: Standard AutoSet algorithm - Participants first received therapy with the Standard AutoSet algorithm for one night, and then received therapy with the Modified AutoSet algorithm (an AutoSet device with an algorithm developed for sleep breathing parameters specific to females) the following night.

Experimental: Modified AutoSet algorithm - Participants first received therapy with the Modified AutoSet algorithm (an AutoSet device with an algorithm developed for sleep breathing parameters specific to females) for one night, and then received therapy with the standard AutoSet algorithm the following night.


Treatment: Devices: Standard AutoSet algorithm
An AutoSet device with a standard algorithm developed for sleep breathing parameters that are specific to a particular gender.

Treatment: Devices: Modified AutoSet algorithm
An AutoSet device with an algorithm developed for sleep breathing parameters specific to females.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and user preference of the Newport AutoSet for Her in female obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.

Efficacy will be evaluated by comparing the apnea and hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) of the Newport AutoSet for Her algorithm to a standard algorithm.

User preference will be evaluated by subjective feedback relating to comfort, ease of falling asleep, sleep disturbance and feeling of being refreshed.
