Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Oxygen therapy will be administered to patients as they sleep in the sleep laboratory at Monash Medical Centre.
100% Oxygen will be administered at a flow rate of 4L/min via nasal cannula.
The treatment will be administered by trial investigators who are sleep scientist/technicians employed by Monash Health and who are experienced in delivering oxygen to sleeping patients which they do as part of their routine work.
The Oxygen treatment will be delivered over a single night of sleep (typically 6-7hrs), i.e. one session.
The control/placebo treatment will be Room Air delivered at a flow rate of 4L/min via nasal cannula.
The control/placebo will be delivered continuously while patients sleep (typically 6-7hrs).
Sleep studies will be conducted within one week of one another.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation is not concealed.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using a randomisation table generated by computer software.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s

The people assessing the outcomes
The people analysing the results/data
Intervention assignment
Crossover
Other design features
Each patient will undergo a sleep study on both the treatment and on the control, as such each patient will act as their own control.
Phase
Not Applicable
Type of endpoint/s
Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The primary and secondary end points will be compared between the study night on treatment and the study night on placebo. Group data will be compared via and independent samples t-test.
A responder analysis will be performed to determine patient factors that predict response to oxygen therapy treatment. The patients will be divided into responders/non-responders on the basis of the primary outcome measure on the treatment study night.
