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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests a mobile app called OurSleepKit that coaches couples to work together on CPAP therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. 360 newly diagnosed patients and their partners will use the app for 6 months. Researchers will measure how many hours per night the patient uses CPAP, along with symptoms and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
OurSleepKit mobile app (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give doctors a simple, app-based way to help couples manage CPAP use, leading to better sleep and health for people with sleep apnea.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may vary widely. The app's success depends on couples actually using it, and it may not work for everyone.

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 360 people

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

Started

Dec 2024

Expected to finish

Jul 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A government research agency

The lead sponsor is the US National Institutes of Health.

Who can take part

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

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

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: * patients should be males or females (age≥18 years) with diagnosed OSA and candidates for CPAP therapy (with any type of pressure delivery mode), and are cohabiting with their partner for at least one year * The partners of eligible patients will be recruited if they are not diagnosed with OSA and not using CPAP * both partners should have their own mobile devices with access to the internet Exclusion Criteria: * have a diagnosis of a sleep disorder other than OSA based on a polysomnogram (e.g., central sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or periodic limb movement disorder) * have planned bariatric surgery (as they typically quit CPAP after surgery) * have a partner using CPAP * are pregnant because the changes in respiration and sleep quality occurring with pregnancy may confound the results. * couples with one or both partners doing regular overnight shift work or those unable to speak or write in English will be excluded.
