About this study

Official title: Effects of Early Rehabilitation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients Under Mechanical Ventilation for Acute Respiratory Failure in Intensive Care Unit.

Twenty per cent of the intensive care patients mechanically ventilated suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These patients stay longer in Intensive Care which is more costly and they are more prone to nosocomial infection.In addition, they are longer bedridden and they develop muscular weakness.Prolonged inactivity results in respiratory and skeletal muscle weakness which curtails simple daily activity.The principal purpose of this study is to compare two types of muscular rehabilitation (electrical stimulation of the thigh and/or cycloergometer training) to classic passive mobilization of the leg.The second purpose is to analyse the effects of each type of rehabilitation on muscular fiber (structural and functional analysis) by muscular biopsies.Two hundred forty COPD patients admitted in the intensive care unit for acute respiratory failure will be randomized in 4: 1 fashion to receive passive mobilization of the legs(group 1, n=60), electrical stimulation of the thigh (group 2, n=60), cycloergometer training (group 3, n=60) or electrical stimulation of the thigh and cycloergometer training(group 4, n=60).The rehabilitation program will last 4 weeks with 5 sessions per week.In each group of patients, muscular biopsies will be done under local anaesthesia at the beginning and end of the rehabilitation programme and when they are discharged from the service.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number day breathing without assistance during the 28-day study period

    Measured: during the 28-day study period

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mortality at day 28 and day 90

    Measured: Measured within the ICU stay of the patient

  2. Length of stay in intensive care unit and hospital

    Measured: Measured within the ICU stay of the patient

  3. Clinical measurement of muscular strength in lower limbs(day 0-2 and day 28-30)

    Measured: Measured within the ICU stay of the patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Electrical stimulation of the thigh, Cycloergometer training and Electrical stimulation of the thigh and cycloergometer training in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Acute Respiratory Failure, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 4 sites in France.

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 7 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 27 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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. 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?

Number day breathing without assistance during the 28-day study period (time frame: during the 28-day study period). 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 27 Mar 2015.
