About this study

Official title: Respiratory Muscle Training in Ventilator Dependent Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine if inspiratory muscle strength training will increase the proportion of ventilator dependent patients weaned versus Sham treated patients.

Read the detailed description

The inspiratory muscle strength training consists of 4 sets of 6-10 breaths through a threshold inspiratory muscle strength training device, 5 days per week. The inspiratory muscle training is conducted at the highest pressure setting tolerated by the patients. The Sham groups uses an inspiratory muscle trainer that does not increase inspiratory muscle strength. Both the treated and Sham groups participate in progressively lengthening periods of breathing without ventilator as tolerated. Patients are considered weaned when they can breathe for 72 consecutive hours without any ventilator support.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing inspiratory muscle strength training in people with Failure to Wean and Respiratory Failure, run by Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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 9 Nov 2009. 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 States. 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?

ventilator dependent status. 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 NCT00419458, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Nov 2009.
