Inspire Home Study: Utilization of Home Monitoring During Therapy Optimization in Patients With an Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation System (Comparison of Home Sleep Testing vs. In-lab Polysomnography Testing)
- Conditions
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: Home Sleep Testing
- Registration Number
- NCT04416542
- Lead Sponsor
- Inspire Medical Systems, Inc.
- Brief Summary
Inspire intends to conduct this study to compare Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), between the two randomization arms, at 6 months post-activation
- Detailed Description
This study is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, multi-center study of therapy optimization related to the Inspire UAS System (implanted in a commercial setting under current labeling).
Comparison of outcomes between two (2) groups of patients (both implanted with the Inspire UAS system) who undergo different post-implant care algorithms throughout follow-up, in order to determine whether home sleep monitoring may be used as a surrogate for an in-lab PSG titration in a sub-set of patients.
Subjects who have been identified as candidates for Inspire therapy (implant of the Inspire UAS system), according to commercial labeling, will be recruited to participate in the study.
A maximum of 100 subjects will be enrolled at up to 5 clinical centers. A total of 60 subjects will be randomized (1:1) to one of two study arms.

Group Intervention Description Home Monitoring Home Sleep Testing Subjects who have undergone implant of the Inspire UAS System and are randomized to this group will undergo a 2-night HST at 3 months post-activation. Depending on the results of the 2-night HST, the subject will either (a) undergo a PSG titration at 5 months post-activation and a 2-night HST at 6 months post-activation OR (b) undergo only a 2-night HST at approximately 6 months post-activation
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Comparison of Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), between the two randomization arms 6 months post-activation The AHI endpoint will be determined by performing three equivalency tests for the following: Absolute AHI and, change in AHI. All comparisons will be done on the treatment AHI at 6 months between the control group and the home monitoring group. The objective is to demonstrate the equivalence in AHI, change in AHI, and response rate between the two groups.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Comparison of Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), between the two randomization arms 6 months post-activation The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) endpoint will be determined by performing an equivalence test for the ESS score at 6 months between the control group and the home monitoring group. The objective is to demonstrate ESS score to be equivalent between the two groups.
H0: \|x ̃_diff \|\>2 Ha: \|x ̃_diff \|≤2
where x ̃_diff is the median of differences (location shift) in the ESS score between the two groups.
As the ESS score at 6 months has been shown to be non-normally distributed in previous studies, a non-parametric Hodges-Lehmann test at a significance level of 0.05 will be used to determine the location shift and its confidence interval between the two groups. An equivalence margin between -2 and 2 will be used as this is the defined meaningful clinical difference based on the AASM guidelines8.Comparison of Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI), between the two randomization arms 6 months post-activation The Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) endpoint will be determined by performing an equivalence test for the ODI score at 6 months between the control group and the home monitoring group. The objective is to demonstrate ODI score to be equivalent between the two groups.
H0: \|x ̃_diff \|\>15 Ha: \|x ̃_diff \|≤15 where x ̃_diff is the median of differences (location shift) in the ODI score between the two groups.
As the ODI score at 6 months has been shown to be non-normally distributed in previous studies, a non-parametric Hodges-Lehmann test at a significance level of 0.05 will be used to determine the location shift and its confidence interval between the two groups. ODI is closely related to AHI and therefore an equivalence margin of -15 and 15 will be used.Comparison of Therapy Usage (hours per week), between the two randomization arms 6 months post-activation The therapy usage endpoint will be determined by performing an equivalence test for the average therapy usage at 6 months between the control group and the home monitoring group. The objective is to demonstrate therapy usage to be equivalent between the two groups.
H0: \|x ̃_diff \|\>0.5 hrs Ha: \|x ̃_diff \|≤0.5 hrs where x ̃_diff is the median of differences (location shift) in therapy usage between the two groups.
As the treatment therapy usage at 6 months has been shown to be non-normally distributed in previous studies, a non-parametric Hodges-Lehmann test at a significance level of 0.05 will be used to determine the location shift and its confidence interval between the two groups. An equivalence margin between -0.5 and 0.5 hrs will be used as this is the defined meaningful clinical difference based on the AASM guidelines8.
