    Itamar Medical to Evaluate Impact of CPAP Therapy on Patients with COVID-19

    The clinical trial will assess the efficacy of CPAP in COVID-19 confirmed or suspected patients.

    Itamar Medical to Evaluate Impact of CPAP Therapy on Patients with COVID-19
    The primary aim of the study is to determine if early, low, fixed CPAP at home reduces the risk of hospital/ER re-admission or death in COVID-19 confirmed or suspected patients.
    Globe Newswire04.22.20
    Itamar Medical Ltd., a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of non-invasive medical devices, solutions and a digital health platform to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory sleep disorders, has initiated a funded trial that will evaluate the use of CPAP to manage patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19.
     
    The study is a prospective, single-center, parallel group, open-label, randomized clinical trial to assess the efficacy of CPAP in 200 COVID-19 confirmed or suspected patients within the Mount Sinai Health System with respiratory symptoms who do not require hospital admission and are discharged home from the emergency room.
     
    The primary aim of the study is to determine if early, low, fixed CPAP at home reduces the risk of hospital/ER re-admission or death in COVID-19 confirmed or suspected patients. Secondary aims of the study are to determine if obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity are independently associated with increased hospitalizations, mechanical ventilation, and/or death in COVID-19 suspected or infected patients.
     
    The study will also track COVID-19 conversion rates for household members of participants randomized to CPAP vs. control. All subjects will self-quarantine for the duration of CPAP use. They will also receive a disposable WatchPAT ONE connected to the Itamar Medical Digital Health platform and activated through a smartphone application to determine their sleep apnea status. Subjects will be randomized to receive 72 hours of CPAP or to a control group (n=100 in each group). The primary endpoint of the study is time to hospital admission (includes ER visit) or death within 14 days of randomization.
     
    “Early CPAP in patients with COVID-19 and mild pneumonia may reduce progression to adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring hospitalization and mechanical ventilation. Given the shortage of hospital beds and healthcare providers, this intervention needs to be tested in order to understand the role it may play in effectively managing these patients at home,” said Neomi Shah, associate professor of medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at Mount Sinai and principal investigator on the study. “Importantly, this study will also evaluate whether OSA is a risk factor for COVID-19-related ARDS and whether existing home CPAP units in OSA patients with COVID-19 can be leveraged to reduce the need for subsequent hospital admission and need for mechanical ventilation.”
     
    “This clinical study builds on Itamar Medical’s established legacy of generating and advancing science and research that allows our WatchPAT technology to improve health outcomes,” said Dr. Jennifer Cook, global medical director of Itamar Medical and a critical care physician. “We are very pleased to be working with Dr. Shah and the team, including Drs. Indu Ayappa, David Rapoport and Ms. Samira Khan at Mount Sinai, to evaluate the potential use of CPAP to improve patient management and outcomes while reducing stress on the healthcare system. Additionally, understanding the extent to which OSA may be a risk factor for adverse COVID-19-related outcomes will help to inform proactive risk-mitigation strategies. I would also like to thank Philips for donating their high-quality CPAPs for this study.”
