About this study

Official title: Crossover Trial of VPAP (Variable Positive Airway Pressure) Ventilation Versus AutoVPAP in Neuromuscular and Chest Wall Disease: Effects on Nocturnal Hypoventilation, Sleep Quality and Tolerance

The aim of the study is to compare the effects of a modified form (AutoVPAP) of the VPAP non-invasive ventilator versus standard VPAP ventilation on sleep quality and breathing during sleep in stable patients with nocturnal hypoventilation due to restrictive ventilatory disorders (eg. neuromuscular disease or chest wall disorder).

Being tested
VPAP non-invasive ventilator, AutoVPAP non-invasive ventilator

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • VPAP non-invasive ventilatorDevice

  • AutoVPAP non-invasive ventilatorDevice

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Compare objective measures of sleep, sleep related ventilation and daytime respiratory function between the two treatment devices, VPAP and AutoVPAP.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Compare tolerance of AutoVPAP versus standard VPAP

  2. Compare effects on overnight heart rate variation (as a measure of autonomic stress)

  3. Measure of hours of use of device

  4. Measure of effect on daytime sleepiness

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VPAP non-invasive ventilator and AutoVPAP non-invasive ventilator in people with Chest Wall Disorder and Neuromuscular Disease, run by ResMed at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare objective measures of sleep, sleep related ventilation and daytime respiratory function between the two treatment devices, VPAP and AutoVPAP.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00252252, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2008.
