Sleep SMART

Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery Trial (Sleep SMART)
 U01NS099043

Overview: 

Sleep SMART is a phase 3 multi-site, parallel-group superiority trial with a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) design. The primary goals of this study are to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure started shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality during 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke. The 5-year study includes two trials: a prevention study with an embedded recovery trial. Sleep SMART aims to randomize 3,062 subjects at 110 sites within StrokeNet , an NINDS-funded clinical trials network.
