Acetazolamide Add-On Therapy to OSA Surgery — ACTOS  

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Clinical Trial

Official title:
Acetazolamide as add-on Therapy to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Surgery (ACTOS): a Parallel-group, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Surgical procedures are routinely performed as an alternative to continuous positive airway pressure treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the response to surgery is often variable. Instability of the respiratory control during sleep (or high loop gain) has been associated with poor surgical results in previous research. Acetazolamide (AZM), a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, has shown potential in reducing loop gain without affecting other physiological OSA traits. In this protocol the investigators will evaluate the clinical efficacy of AZM add-on therapy to surgical procedures in patients with OSA.

Clinical Trial Description

Seventy-four patients with diagnosed moderate to severe OSA will be equally (1:1) randomized to AZM (250 mg twice daily) or placebo add-on therapy after surgery. Two surgical procedures will be performed throughout the study: barbed reposition pharyngoplasty (BRP) and upper airway stimulation (UAS) using electrical neurostimulation of the hypoglossal nerve. Treatment allocation will occur after a satisfactory recovery in patients undergoing BRP and after titration of the device settings in patients treated with UAS. Treatment outcome will be assessed approximately 10 weeks thereafter by in-laboratory polysomnography. Two on-site follow-up visits will be scheduled to assess adherence and adverse events. The maximum treatment duration per participant will amount to 16 weeks. Besides the aforementioned core clinical part, the study protocol will also include an optional exploratory part prior to surgery, assessing the physiological OSA traits and airflow features by means of polysomnography and drug-induced sleep endoscopy research measurements. ;
