Study summary

Objectives: Evaluate the effect of CPAP to reduce the progression of chronic kidney disease or CKD (the decline of glomerular filtration rate is ≥ 30%) in patients with early-stage renal disease and sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Other objectives are; determine the prevalence of OSAS in patients with early-stage renal disease and evaluate the changes in inflamatories markers and endothelial damage, the state of KDIGO, cardiovascular events, mortality and cost-effectiveness analysis in CPAP group versus non-CPAP group patients.

Methods: A prospective, multicentric, randomized and controlled study will be carried out for 3 years. Early-stage renal disease (G1-3 KDIGO) and OSAS patients will be included. The investigators will make a respiratory polygraphy to determinate OSAS (AHI ≥15/h) and after that, the investigators randomized patients in 2 groups; CPAP group and control group (non-CPAP treatment). Patients with AHI \<15/h (non-OSAS) will be the reference group and the half of these patients, randomly chosen, will be followed up at the end of the follow up.

Statistic analysis: the investigators will analyze the differences in glomerular filtration rate before and after the treatment, comparing the percentage of patients with CKD progression for both groups. The investigators will use the chi square test with raw data and adjusted for confounding variables using intention to treat analysis with imputation of missing values.

Read the detailed description

There is a bidirectional involvement between the chronic kidney disease (CKD) and sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The declining of renal function, the fluid overloading and the disturbance of ventilation control could cause sleep apneas. On the other hand, the nocturnal hypoxia in patients with OSAS has been associated with changes in the renin-angiotensin system and sympathetic nervous system and production of reactive oxygen species. These findings are relationed with the deterioration of kidney function.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Started Nov 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2019, 24 months after the start.

Of 576 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Renal Insufficiency, Chronic, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 45. This study's planned 24 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 616 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 45.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 6, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
