Addressing Sleep Apnea Post-Stroke/TIA
NCT04322162 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Effectively identifying and treating risk factors for ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) is important to patients, their family members, and healthcare systems. While obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a known risk factor for stroke and TIA that is present in more than 70% of stroke/TIA survivors, testing for OSA is infrequently performed for patients and within healthcare systems. The Addressing Sleep Apnea Post-Stroke/TIA (ASAP) study intends to improve rates of guideline-recommended OSA testing and treatment through local quality improvement initiatives (QI) conducted within and across 6 VA Medical Centers. ASAP will also determine the impact of these local QI initiatives on rates of OSA diagnosis, OSA treatment, recurrent vascular events, and hospital readmissions.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04322162
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04322162 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 6 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Obstructive Sleep Apnea appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which ASAP Intervention Quality Improvement Protocol is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04322162 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Connecticut, Indiana. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
