Clinical features and molecular drivers of obstructive sleep apnea

Clinical Characteristics and Molecular Mechanism of Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Capital Medical University · NCT07277608

This project will collect clinical and molecular data from people with obstructive sleep apnea to see how disease severity affects prognosis, immunity, and metabolism.

What this trial studies

This observational project will enroll patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea at the sleep center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and build a multi-omics database from clinical data and biological samples. Investigators will compare immune, metabolic, and outcome patterns across different OSA severity levels and follow participants for at least one year to document prognosis, complications, and comorbidities. The study aims to track immune and metabolic dynamics after treatment and to identify biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets associated with OSA. Participants must consent to sample collection and follow-up, while those with major organ failure, pregnancy/lactation, or inability to comply with follow-up are excluded.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with suspected or confirmed obstructive sleep apnea seen at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital's sleep center who can consent and commit to at least one year of follow-up and sample collection.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or lactating, have severe organ failure, require mechanical ventilation, are already unable to comply with follow-up, or refuse biological sampling are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the work could identify biomarkers and targets that improve prognosis prediction and enable more personalized treatment for people with OSA.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies using molecular and metabolic profiling have shown associations between OSA and immune/metabolic changes, but comprehensive multi-omics biomarker panels for prognosis remain largely unproven.
