Mechanism of Action of Fluticasone Furoate in Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating fluticasone furoate for Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research is to find out how a nasal spray (fluticasone furoate), sometimes given to children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), works on certain cells within a child's adenoids. We hypothesize that intranasal steroids lead to an upregulation of T regulatory cells in the adenoid tissues of children with OSAS. This will result in a local reduction in inflammation and edema explaining the improvement in OSAS.
