What is being measured

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

  1. The primary aim of this study was to compare the effects of NIMV on mortality rate and length of stay at the ICU with the effects of CMV

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary aims were to evaluate the incidence and the complications of OTI as well as to compare the improvements in the gas exchange.

    Measured: 3 years

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted31 Aug 2007 (estimated)

Why it stopped: Interim analysis of the present study showed a significant decrease in mortality rate (p= 0.04) as well as in the number of days at the ICU p=0.0002.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non invasive mechanical ventilation in people with Community Acquired Pneumonia. and Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure, run by Hospital Privado del Sur at 1 site in Argentina.

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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2007. 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 Argentina. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Interim analysis of the present study showed a significant decrease in mortality rate (p= 0.04) as well as in the number of days at the ICU p=0.0002.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The primary aim of this study was to compare the effects of NIMV on mortality rate and length of stay at the ICU with the effects of CMV (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 31 Aug 2007; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
