About this study

Official title: Evaluation of NOWOX: a Medical Device Developed to Record Duration of Oxygen Use and Respiration Rate in Patients Requiring Oxygen Therapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the duration of oxygen use recorded by the NOWOX, under usual conditions of daily living, in patients with chronic obstructive respiratory disease requiring oxygen therapy.

Read the detailed description

Long Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT) is one of the main non pharmacologic treatments for patients with severe lung disease. This continuous or sub-continuous oxygen supplementation is generally introduced at home in patients who have chronic cardio respiratory failure and severe resting hypoxemia to maintain sufficient blood oxygenation and therefore preserve vital organ function.

LTOT effectiveness has mainly been evaluated and documented in patients with COPD, which also accounts for most of its prescriptions. In these patients, LTOT has been shown to have a beneficial impact on haemodynamics, exercise capacity, lung mechanics and mental state. Its implementation was furthermore associated with reduced yearly hospitalisation days and increased survival Measuring adherence is an extremely important and under-evaluated component of oxygen therapy. NOWOX, medical device has been designed,developed and manufactured to measure adherence to LTOT and additionally to measure patient's respiration rate

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary performance criterion is the overall estimated duration of oxygen use

    Measured: 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. secondary performance criterion: instantaneous respiration rate recorded by the NOWOX

    Measured: 6 hours

  2. secondary performance criterion: patient's satisfaction questionnaire on the NOWOX

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NOWOX in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Air Liquide SA at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 27 Feb 2014. 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 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 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?

Primary performance criterion is the overall estimated duration of oxygen use (time frame: 6 hours). 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 Feb 2014.
