Patient Information Sheet
Introduction
You are invited to take part in a research study called ‘Sleep Apnea Cardiovascular Endpoints’ or ‘SAVE’, which is investigating the relationship between sleep and health. Before you decide to take part, it is important that you understand why this research is being conducted and what it will involve. Please take the time to read this document, and discuss it with your doctor, family or friends. If there is anything that is not clear, or if you would like more information, please ask your doctor or contact the person listed at the end of this document.
What is the purpose of the study?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a condition in which a person, because of relaxation of throat muscles, stops breathing for several seconds at a time, many times over, during sleep. Normally, a person is not aware of these obstructive episodes, but often family members may have noticed them occurring, along with loud snoring. The condition is very common and may cause sleepiness and poor concentration during the day. Research indicates that it may lead to high blood pressure and increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes, which are major causes of death and poor health in adults.
One of the current treatments available for Obstructive Sleep Apnea is the use of a small mask over the nose or nose and mouth, which people wear whilst they sleep. The mask is attached via a hose to a small machine, which gently pushes air into the lungs and allows people to continue breathing normally. This treatment is called Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP. CPAP has been shown to effectively reduce snoring, obstructive episodes and daytime sleepiness. Some short-term research studies have shown that CPAP may help to reduce blood pressure.
The purpose of this study is to test if CPAP can help people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and reduce the occurrence of heart attack, stroke or heart failure, or reduce factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels that may predispose to these events.
Why have I been chosen?
You have been asked to participate in this research as you may be at ‘higher-than-normal’ risk of having Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This is because you have certain factors, such as a previous heart attack , angina, coronary artery disease requiring bypass graft surgery, angioplasty or stenting, stroke, or transient ischaemic attack (“TIA”, or “mini-stroke”) We hope to involve several thousand people ( approximately 5000 people) from around the world in this study.
What are the study procedures?
If you agree to participate in this study, you will first be asked to undergo an interview by trained research staff to provide answers to a series of questions about your health, medical history, and sleeping habits. If the results of this interview are satisfactory you will next need to have your breathing monitored overnight in your home. You will be provided with a small device that you will connect to yourself prior to going to sleep. This device will record your breathing and blood oxygen levels whilst you sleep. This is not painful. We will ask you to return to the clinic so that we can assess the recording. There is a very small chance that the study would have to be repeated if there are problems with the recording.
If the monitoring confirms that you do have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, you will be invited to participate in the next part of the study, which is evaluating the effects of CPAP on cardiovascular disease. Treatment with CPAP involves wearing a mask over your nose alone, or nose and mouth, whilst you sleep. This mask is connected to a small pump which gently pushes air into your nose/mouth under pressure and keeps your airways open, allowing you to breathe normally whilst you are asleep.
In order to assess how well you are able to use CPAP, the treatment will be offered to you over an initial period of 1-2 weeks using a CPAP device that generates little or no pressure. The purpose of this initial so-called ‘run-in phase’ is simply to see how well you adapt to the mask treatment and whether it is likely you can succeed in using such a treatment over the next 3-5 years of follow-up in the study. CPAP in the run-in phase is not expected to reverse your snoring or sleep apnea.
After one week of the home CPAP run-in phase you will be asked to return to the clinic in the morning with the machine and mask. If the recording device in the CPAP machine shows you have achieved an appropriate high level of use of CPAP you will be asked to continue into the next phase of the study. If the recording device shows you have not achieved a sufficiently high use of the CPAP mask you may be invited to try the CPAP again for another 1-2 weeks at home after first ensuring the mask fit and adjustment is optimal and any other problems you may have had with the mask are addressed.
If all your results are satisfactory and you agree to proceed to the next, long-term follow-up, phase of the study you will immediately have a blood sample taken which will be stored for future exploratory analyses of chemical factors that might give important clues as to how Obstructive Sleep Apnea predisposes to heart attacks and strokes. The volume of this blood sample will be approximately 10 ml (about 2 teaspoons). You will also be asked to agree to have approximately 10 ml of blood taken for genetic (DNA) testing to investigate the role of genes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea and cardiovascular diseases. A separate Patient Information and Consent form is provided for the DNA testing part of the study. Refusing to give a sample for DNA testing will not stop you from being in the study. The blood specimens for DNA and other analyses will only be used in relation to this study and when they are no longer required, they will be disposed of by the Laboratory according to usual policy guidelines.
All participants will then be required to undergo a brief physical examination to measure blood pressure, heart rate, height, weight, and neck size. An electrocardiogram (ECG, to trace the heart rhythm) will be ordered to assess the functioning of the heart. You will also complete questionnaires about your sleep and general health and well-being. .
You will then be randomly allocated (like the toss of a coin) to either receive treatment with CPAP, or to continue with your usual medical care. There is a 50% chance of being assigned to either group. All people involved will receive advice about Obstructive Sleep Apnea and some simple measures that can be taken to improve symptoms. People allocated to receive their usual care will continue to have their normal treatment as directed by their regular doctor. This study will not interfere with any important medications that you may be taking for reasons outside the study.
Those patients randomly allocated to receive CPAP treatment will have a 1-2 week home trial of a special (“auto”) CPAP device that continuously and automatically adjusts and records the mask pressure needed during sleep to keep your throat open. After this 1-2 week trial period you will return to the clinic and this information will be used to set an appropriate fixed pressure level in a new CPAP machine which will be given to you to use long-term at home.
All people involved in the long-term follow-up part of the study will be asked to attend the clinic at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, and then 6 monthly for the next 3-5 years,(the length of the follow-up period will depend on when you are first enrolled in the study). Each visit will last approximately 45 minutes, and will involve the research staff taking a medical history (with specific questions about your sleep), completing a medical examination, and performing simple investigations such as a heart tracing (electrocardiogram or ECG).
At the end of the study, there should be no further reason to contact you. At some time, though, further research may be undertaken into Obstructive Sleep Apnea and CPAP, at which point you may be invited to participate further. There would be no obligation to participate at any stage of either study.
What are the benefits?
CPAP therapy is known to improve symptoms of sleepiness in people who suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Additionally, it is hoped that this study will add to the existing evidence showing that CPAP helps to improve high blood pressure, particularly in Asian people in whom high blood pressure is common and where there is very limited use of CPAP therapy. In the longer term, it is hoped that CPAP will prevent people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea from developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. If this trial is successful, we will conduct further research in this area.
If you have used CPAP for the duration of the study and wish to continue using the device after the study finishes, then you will be able to keep you CPAP device at no cost. If you were randomly allocated to the patient group that received usual care and the study shows that CPAP reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, you will, at the end of the study also be eligible to receive a CPAP device free of cost.
Are there any risks?
Some patients who are shown by the simple home sleep test to have obstructive sleep apnea may have mild to moderate daytime sleepiness that could improve with CPAP treatment. In this study, which is focussed on cardiovascular health, such patients, if randomly allocated to receive usual care, could miss out on a symptom benefit. If you are found to have obstructive sleep apnea and feel excessively sleepy you may wish to consider the option of CPAP treatment outside this trial. You are a free to do so, or to seek an independent opinion from your doctor or sleep specialist before making a decision whether or not to enrol in the study. If you decide to enrol in the study you will be monitored at regular intervals with respect to your level of sleepiness. If we find evidence that it is reaching a level that we consider poses a risk for a fall-asleep accident you will be withdrawn from the study and advised to seek independent medical advice and treatment. If at any time you consider yourself unsafe because of excessive sleepiness you should report this immediately to the research staff.
CPAP is a very safe treatment. However, all medical procedures – whether for diagnosis or treatment, routine or experimental – involve some risk. In addition, there may be risks associated with this study that are presently unknown and unforeseeable. In spite of all precautions, it is possible that you might develop a medical complication from participating in this study. The risks of participating in this study include:
• bruising from the blood sample
• CPAP
o irritation of the eyes and the skin on the face;
o leaks of air around the mask because it does not fit properly;
o nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing;
o abdominal bloating;
Occasionally, the humming noise of the CPAP machine is troublesome to the person or to family members. If you do suffer any of the above side effects of CPAP, please discuss with the trial staff before ceasing treatment, as the mask, air humidity and pressure may be able to be adjusted to a comfortable level.
Finally it is important to be aware that no medical treatment is ever 100% effective, and the use of CPAP for cardiovascular disease is relatively new and untested. Thus despite use of CPAP or other treatments as part of your usual health care, your blood pressure or risk factors (i.e. cholesterol, diabetes) may not improve and you could still suffer a heart attack or stroke, or other ill-health.
Are there any costs or compensation for participating and injuries or complications?
There are no costs to you to be involved in this research.
If you suffer any injuries or complications as a result of this study, you should contact the study doctor as soon as possible, who will assist you in arranging appropriate medical treatment.
In the unlikely event of a physical injury as a result of your participation in this trial, you may be covered by an insurance policy. If you have any questions about this, contact the investigator.
Will my information be confidential?
All information gathered about you during the study will be kept strictly confidential. Only the SAVE researchers will have access to your medical records, in order to check the accuracy of the information collected and to ensure that this study is being carried out appropriately.
Any information transferred electronically will be coded to protect your confidentiality. All computer records will be password protected. Study documentation will be kept and securely archived for at least 15 years.
The results of this study may be presented at medical conferences and published in scientific journals. No material that could identify you personally will be used in any reports on this study. All information gathered about you during the study will be available to you upon request.
Do I have to take part?
Participation in this study is entirely voluntary: you are not obliged to participate and - if you do participate - you can withdraw at any time, without explanation. Whatever your decision, it will not affect your usual medical treatment or your relationship with medical staff.
If you decide to participate, you will be asked to sign a consent form. You will be given signed copies of the consent form and this information sheet to keep.
Who is conducting this study?
The study is being conducted by an international group of researchers based in China, Europe, the United States of America, India and Australia.
