RECRUITING

Identifying Sleep Apnea Patients That Best Respond to Atomoxetine Plus Oxybutynin Therapy

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Atomoxetine-plus-oxybutynin therapy (AtoOxy) has been shown to substantially reduce obstructive sleep apnea severity (OSA) in about half of patients. Here, the investigators will study which patients respond meaningfully to therapy using pathophysiological traits measured at baseline sleep studies.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:21 Years to 70 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Suspected or diagnosed OSA
  2. * Recent drug induced sleep endoscopy results available (performed as part of routine clinical care).
  1. * Any uncontrolled medical condition
  2. * Current use of the medications under investigation
  3. * Use of medications expected to stimulate or depress respiration (including opioids, barbiturates, doxapram, almitrine, theophylline, 4-hydroxybutanoic acid).
  4. * Current use of hypnotic medications (trazodone, eszopiclone, benzodiazepines).
  5. * Current use of SNRIs/SSRIs or anticholinergic medications.
  6. * Conditions likely to affect obstructive sleep apnea physiology: neuromuscular disease or other major neurological disorder, heart failure (also below), or any other unstable major medical condition.
  7. * Respiratory disorders other than sleep disordered breathing: chronic hypoventilation/hypoxemia (awake SaO2 \< 92% by oximetry) due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other respiratory conditions.
  8. * Other sleep disorders: periodic limb movements, narcolepsy, or parasomnias.
  9. * Contraindications for atomoxetine and oxybutynin, including:
  10. * hypersensitivity to atomoxetine or oxybutynin (angioedema or urticaria)
  11. * pheochromocytoma
  12. * use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors
  13. * benign prostatic hypertrophy, urinary retention
  14. * untreated narrow angle glaucoma
  15. * bipolar disorder, mania, psychosis
  16. * history of major depressive disorder (age\<24).
  17. * history of attempted suicide or suicidal ideation within one year prior to screening
  18. * clinically significant constipation, gastric retention
  19. * pre-existing seizure disorders
  20. * clinically-significant kidney disorders (eGFR\<60 ml/min/1.73m2)
  21. * clinically-significant liver disorders
  22. * clinically-significant cardiovascular conditions
  23. * moderate-to-severe hypertension (SBP\>180 mmHg or DBP\>110 mmHg measured at baseline; average of evening and morning measures\*)
  24. * cardiomyopathy (LVEF\<50%) or heart failure
  25. * advanced atherosclerosis
  26. * history of cerebrovascular events
  27. * history of cardiac arrhythmias e.g., atrial fibrillation, QT prolongation
  28. * other serious cardiac conditions that would raise the consequences of an increase in blood pressure or heart rate
  29. * myasthenia gravis
  30. * Claustrophobia
  31. * Pregnancy or nursing
