Trial Outcomes & Findings for NeutraSal Treatment for Xerostomia in OSAS Patients Using CPAP Therapy (NCT NCT02107300)

NCT ID: NCT02107300

Last Updated: 2018-12-11

Results Overview

To observe the impact of NeutraSal on OSAS (obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome) patients compliance to CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy compared to placebo. CPAP usage is determined by % of nights CPAP use was greater than 4 hours.

Measure
NeutraSal
NeutraSal, dosed 2 times per day at waking and bedtime (indications 2-10 times per day or PRN), swish and spit, daily for a term of 12 weeks. NeutraSal: NeutraSal is a powder that when dissolved in water creates a supersaturated calcium phosphate rinse.
Placebo
Placebo dosed 2 times per day at waking and bedtime (indications 2-10 times per day or PRN), swish and spit, daily for a term of 12 weeks. Placebo Comparator: Placebo is a powder consisting of sodium chloride only; chosen to mimic NeutraSal

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through 12 weeks

To assess whether the daily use of NeutraSal will prevent or reduce dry mouth perception in OSAS patients undergoing CPAP therapy. Dry Mouth perception will be measured by an Xerostomia Questionnaire which rates mouth dryness. The scale is rated from 1-10 (1 being dry as a desert and 10 is normal)
