3 OSA and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) OSA is an independent risk factor for Hypertension Metabolic dysregulation Coronary Heart Disease Heart Failure Stroke Mortality Nieto et al., JAMA, 2001; Punjabi et al., Am J Epidemiol, 2004; Gottlieb et al., Circulation, 2010: Hla et al., SLEEP, 2015; Redline et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2010; Young et al., SLEEP, 2008; Marshall et al., SLEEP, The University of Sydney Page 3

4 Mechanisms linking OSA to CVD The University of Sydney Somers et al., Circulation, 2008 Page 4

5 Effects of Standard treatment CPAP on CVD Demonstrated effects on improving CVD surrogate markers and CV morbidity/mortality Observational data Mean 10.1 year follow-up of: N=264 healthy men N=377 snorers N=404 mild-moderate OSA (untreated) N=235 severe OSA (untreated) N=372 severe OSA (CPAP treated) Fatal cardiovascular events Non-fatal cardiovascular events Marin et al., Lancet, 2005 The University of Sydney Page 5

6 Sleep Apnea Cardiovascular Endpoints (SAVE) study RCT of CPAP vs. usual care for secondary prevention of CVD N = 2717, years with previous coronary/cerebrovascular disease + moderate-severe OSA 1 end point (CV death/hospitalisation) 3.7 years follow-up Average CPAP usage 3.3 hours/night McEvoy et al., N Eng J Med, 2016 The University of Sydney Page 6

7 AHI in partial users of CPAP SAVE study usage (assuming 7 hours sleep) Boyd et al., J Oral Maxillofac Surg, 2013 The University of Sydney Page 7

8 CPAP adherence rates Review of 20 years of CPAP adherence in clinical trials (N=82 studies) Weighted-average CPAP usage 4.46 hours / night Non-adherence rate = 36.3% (assuming 7 hours sleep) Doesn t include 10.7% that were unable to tolerate No meaningful change in adherence over last 20 years Behavioural interventions 1 hour/night Over-estimation self-report vs. machine ~35% Rotenberg et al., J Otolaryngology Head, Neck Surgery, 2016 The University of Sydney Page 8

9 Oral appliance (OA) efficacy Mean AHI reduction 50.3 ± 50.7% Response rates across OSA severity Response definitions AHI <5 Complete response AHI <10 with 50% AHI 50% AHI Partial response The University of Sydney Sutherland et al., J Clin Sleep Med, 2015 Page 9

10 Oral appliance treatment adherence Objectively monitoring capabilities relatively recent One year treatment data Nightly usage 6.1 ± 2.2 hours Non-adherence rate 12.9% (assuming 7 hours sleep) 83% using OA 4 hours/night on 70% of days Dieltjens et al., Chest, 2013 The University of Sydney Page 10

11 Comparative Effectiveness? High efficacy Modest compliance Modest efficacy High compliance Sutherland et al., Journal Dental Sleep Medicine, 2015 The University of Sydney Page 11

12 What do we know about OA effects on CV outcomes? Blood pressure Surrogate markers CV risk Clinical endpoints The University of Sydney Page 12

13 Blood pressure effects of OSA treatment Network meta-analysis of RCTs of >2: 1) CPAP, 2) OA, 3) control Measurement of systolic/diastolic blood pressure post-treatment N = 51 studies, N = 4888 subjects with OSA CPAP vs. inactive control 2.5 mmhg SBP (95%CI ), P< mmhg DBP (95%CI ), P<0.001 OA vs. inactive control 2.1 mmhg SBP (95%CI ), P= mmhg DBP (95%CI ), P=0.008 No significant difference between CPAP and OA in BP reduction Bratton et al., JAMA, 2015 The University of Sydney Page 13

14 Blood pressure effects of OSA treatment Influence of treatment usage time on BP reduction (CPAP only) 1 hour/night = additional 1.5 mmhg SBP & 0.9 mmhg DBP Length of follow-up CPAP vs. control - ~15 weeks OA studies 4-10 weeks Bratton et al., JAMA, 2015 The University of Sydney Page 14

15 Short-term effects CPAP vs. OA 24hr BP RCT of one month optimised CPAP and OA treatment (N=108) 24 hr Blood Pressure All subjects No difference (but no change) Hypertensives N=45 No difference (equal reduction in both) Philips et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2013 The University of Sydney Page 15

17 What do we know about OA effects on CV outcomes? Blood pressure OA effects on lowering blood pressure appear to be equivalent to standard treatment (CPAP) Potential explanation inferior efficacy of OA therapy mitigated by greater compliance Surrogate markers CV risk Clinical endpoints The University of Sydney Page 17

25 What do we know about OA effects on CV outcomes? Blood pressure Surrogate markers CV risk Some studies show improvements in surrogate markers of CV health with OA therapy, but overall evidence limited and short-term Clinical endpoints The University of Sydney Page 25

26 What do we know about OA effects on CV outcomes? Blood pressure Surrogate markers CV risk Clinical endpoints Observational data (N=1 study) The University of Sydney Page 26

27 CV mortality observational data Outcome = fatal CV events (hospital/national records) Stroke, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac arrest or cardiac arrhythmias Median follow-up 6.5 years Anandam et al., Respirology, 2013 The University of Sydney Page 27

28 CV mortality observational data Residual AHI OA > CPAP 16 ± 5.1 vs. 4.5 ± 2.3 events/hour Treatment usage OA > CPAP 6.5 ± 1.2 vs. 5.8 ± 1.6 hours/night Event rate untreated OSA No difference OA vs. CPAP Anandam et al., Respirology, 2013 The University of Sydney Page 28

29 What do we know about OA effects on CV outcomes? Blood pressure Surrogate markers CV risk Clinical endpoints Limited data: CPAP and OA appear to have equivalent benefit in N=1 observational study The University of Sydney Page 29

30 Summary OSA treatment There is a need to consider non-pap alternatives for potential to impact on long-term cardiovascular health CPAP acceptance and usage below what needed to impact cardiovascular health (e.g. the SAVE study) Evidence Oral appliances may be as effective as CPAP in the short-term (at least for blood pressure) Objective evidence is emerging of good oral appliance usage, out to one year equivalent outcomes explained by comparative effectiveness? Long-term? Other CVD markers? The University of Sydney Page 30

31 Personalised medicine heterogeneous disorder e.g. OSA Each circle represents one theoretical patient Patients grouped by similar clinical characteristics Adapted from Agusti A, Thorax 2014 Comprehensive understanding of clinically meaningful characteristics at the individual level - personalised medicine The University of Sydney Page 31

32 Better patient phenotyping towards identification of clinically meaningful subtypes Clinical symptom clusters Clinical subtypes CV risk subtypes Who is susceptible to OSA-related CVD? Who will respond to OSA treatment? Ye et al., Eur Respir J, 2014 Keenan et al., SLEEP 2018 Review on application of Personalised (P4) Medicine to OSA Lim, Sutherland, Cistulli, & Pack. Respirology, 2017 The University of Sydney Page 32

33 CV responses to OSA treatment more than just compliance Blood samples molecular signatures (cardiovascular-specific microrna) Good CPAP users >4 hrs/night able to discriminate blood pressure responders Derivation sample AUC 0.98 Validation sample AUC 0.92 No blood pressure response to CPAP Blood pressure response to CPAP Sanchez-de-la-Torre et al., J Am Coll Cardiol, 2015 The University of Sydney Page 33

34 Future directions Shift in focus from just the AHI Comparative effectiveness studies How do treatments compare long-term? What is the level of effectiveness needed? Long-term, quality studies, comprehensive assessment of early markers of CV risk, mortality data consideration of at risk vascular phenotypes Identification of biomarkers The University of Sydney Page 34
