Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to compare differences in oxygen delivery between portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) and liquid oxygen (LOs) portable units, pose a question if POCs are equally effective as LOs in reducing exercise-induced hypoxaemia.

About this study

Official title: Comparing Effectiveness of Oxygen Supplementation From a Portable Concentrator and a Liquid Oxygen Source During Walking Test in COPD Patients With Respiratory Failure

The purpose of this study is to compare differences in oxygen delivery between portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) and liquid oxygen (LOs) portable units, pose a question if POCs are equally effective as LOs in reducing exercise-induced hypoxaemia. DESIGN: Randomized, single-blind clinical trial.

Read the detailed description

Our primary objective is to compare at rest and during exercise the evolution of oxygen saturation and dyspnea during 6 minutes walking test in patients with COPD receiving oxygen supplementation either with portable concentrators or liquid oxygen in a random order.

Being tested
Oxygen concentrators versus constant flow axygen, oxygen concentrator
Keywords
COPD patients with respiratory failure

What participants receive

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

  • Oxygen concentrators versus constant flow axygenDevice

    Also called portable oxygen concentrator

    Each patient performed 2 walking tests, and received oxygen supplementation from a portable concentrator or a liquid oxygen source, in a random order.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxygen concentrators versus constant flow axygen and oxygen concentrator in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Association Nationale pour les Traitements A Domicile, les Innovations et la Recherche 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 16 Feb 2011. 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?

Oxygen Saturation (time frame: One day). 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 16 Feb 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
