Scientific titleCopeptin, Pro-Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (Pro-ANP) and Pro-Adrenomedullin (Pro-ADM) as markers of hypoxic stress in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS): a prospective intervention trial
Study acronymBioSAFE
Study objectivesThe primary objective of this trial is to evaluate, whether copeptin, Pro-ANP and Pro-ADM might serve as a potential proxy for prognosis and therapy response in OSAS or patients with central events by reliable reflecting hypoxic stress and responding to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) therapy respectively. Further clinical and laboratorial predictors of therapy approve and prognosis will also be evaluated.
Ethics approval(s)The conjoined local ethic committee of the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Land approved on the 23rd of August 2010 (ref: EKBB 170/10)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedObstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS)
InterventionVisit 1a: informed consent, medical history, current medical status, demographics, vital signs, height and body weight, epworth sleepiness score, SF-36, overnight pulsoxymetry
Visit 1b: venous puncture (6 and 9 am), overnight pulsoxymetry
Visit 2a (Baseline): medical history, physical examination, vital signs, venous puncture (8 and 10 pm), overnight pulsoxymetry
Visit 2b (Baseline): venous puncture (6 and 9 am), epworth sleepiness score, SF-36
Visit 3 (1 Month): current medical status, physical examination, vital signs, height and body weight, venous puncture (6 and 9 am), epworth sleepiness score, SF-36, overnight pulsoxymetry
Visit 4 (6 months): current medical status, physical examination, vital signs, height and body weight, venous puncture (6 and 9 am), epworth sleepiness score, SF-36, overnight pulsoxymetry
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Change in median circulating copeptin, Pro-ANP and Pro-ADM levels after 1 month of CPAP or BiPAP treatment

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. Median circulating copeptin, Pro-ANP and Pro-ADM levels before treatment and after 1 and 6 months of treatment respectively
2. Change in median circulating copeptin, Pro-ANP and Pro-ADM levels after 1 night and 6 months of CPAP treatment respectively
In a second step, endpoints will be assessed in subgroups of patients according to OSAS severity
