What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares how satisfied people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea are with a standard CPAP machine (Airsense 10) versus a portable one (Air-Mini). Fifty adults who are new to CPAP will try both devices and rate their satisfaction. The goal is to see if the smaller, travel-friendly option works just as well and is preferred by users.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
CPAP device (continuous positive airway pressure machine)
What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could show that a smaller, portable CPAP machine works just as well as a standard one, making treatment more convenient and easier to stick with for people with sleep apnea.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage crossover study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main focus is on user satisfaction, not long-term health outcomes, and the portable device may be less effective for some users.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 50 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Sep 2024

Expected to finish

Jan 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged ≥ 18 years. * Patients diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA (based on AHI classification from sleep study performed). * Patients who are able to understand and answer the questionnaire given. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are unable to give consent to the study. * Patients who have been diagnosed with OSA and already on CPAP machine. * Patients who had underlying Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS). * Patients who had underlying co-morbidities that worsen apnea symptoms, such as congestive cardiac failure, active malignancy, narcolepsy, active alcohol or drug abuse, treatment-refractory dementia, psychotic illness and active use of drugs that disturb the sleep architecture (i.e hypnotics or stimulants of central nervous system).
