MOSAIC: Medications for Obstructive Sleep Apnea to Improve Cognition in Children With Down Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is an open-label study of the combination of atomoxetine and oxybutynin (ato-oxy) in children with Down syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) documented by polysomnography (PSG). Participants will receive ato-oxy for 6 months. Ato-oxy dose will be 5 mg oxybutynin and 0.5mg/kg/day (max 40 mg) atomoxetine. Dosing of the study treatment will occur approximately 30 minutes prior to bedtime. Participants who withdraw from the study will not be replaced.
Study participants will undergo eligibility screening that will include an initial screening to determine whether non- PSG enrollment criteria are met, followed by a 1 night in-lab PSG and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and cognitive assessment for participants who qualify based on non-PSG criteria. For participants who are eligible and enroll in the study, the screening PSG night will serve as the baseline measure for apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and other PSG endpoints. On the final night of dosing for ato-oxy participants will return for inpatient PSG and health-related quality of life assessment and cognitive assessment. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in obstructive AHI from baseline.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (oAHI) [6 months]
change in number of obstructive apneas and hypopneas per hour on polysomnography from baseline (% change)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 score (OSA-18) [6 months]
Change in OSA-18 (a measure of health-related quality of life) from baseline. The OSA-18 score ranges from 18 to 136, with lower scores indicating better health-related quality of life.
- Paired Associates Learning test [6 months]
Change in Paired Associate Learning test total errors (a measure of memory) from baseline
Other Outcome Measures
- Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) total score [6 months]
Change in PedsQL total score (a measure of health-related quality of life) from baseline. The PedsQL score ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life.
- Processing speed [6 months]
Change in processing speed as measured by A-MAP from baseline
- Verbal IQ [6 months]
Change in verbal IQ as measured by the Kaufman Brief IQ Test 2 from baseline
- Verbal memory [6 months]
Change in verbal memory as measured by A-MAP from baseline
- Language [6 months]
Change in child vocalizations/ hour as measured by LENA
- Caregiver Global Impression of Change [6 months]
Change in Caregiver Global Impression of Change from baseline. This will be assessed on a seven point scale answering the question: Since the start of this therapy, my child's overall status is: 1. Very much improved; 2. Much improved; 3. Minimally Improved; 4. No change; 5. Minimally worse; 6. Much worse or 7. Very much worse.
- N1 sleep percentage [6 months]
Change in N1 sleep percentage on polysomnography from baseline
- REM sleep percentage [6 months]
Change in REM sleep percentage on polysomnography from baseline
- N3 sleep percentage [6 months]
Change in N3 sleep percentage on polysomnography from baseline
- Arousal Index [6 months]
change in number of arousals per hour on polysomnography from baseline
- Executive Function [6 months]
Change in BRIEF Global Executive Composite from baseline
- Adaptive function [6 months]
Change in Vineland 3 adaptive behavior composite scale from baseline
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder symptoms [6 months]
Change in Conners-3 ADHD Index from baseline
