About this study

Official title: Use of a Novel Unidirectional Face Mask During Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a unidirectional breathing mask (breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth or breathe in through the mouth and out through the nose) in COPD patients with breathing difficulties requiring noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV).

Being tested
A unidirectional face mask (Modified 'Respironics PerformaTrak' Mask)
Keywords
Unidirectional mask, NPPV, COPD, respiratory physiology
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What participants receive

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

  • A unidirectional face mask (Modified 'Respironics PerformaTrak' Mask)Device

    The regular face mask will be replaced with the study mask and patients will receive NPPV via the study mask for 30 min. The study mask insures a unidirectional breathing pattern, in through the nose and out through the mouth or in through the mouth and out through the nose. The sequence of these two breathing patterns with opposite flow direction will be chosen randomly. Each will be applied for 30 min with data collected during and at the end of the period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in anatomical dead space and improvement in ventilatory efficiency

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Improvement of ventilation rate, tidal volume, end tidal CO2, arterial pH, PaCO2, and PaO2, SpO2, pulse rate, blood pressure and patient rating of comfort of each ventilatory pattern.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing A unidirectional face mask (Modified 'Respironics PerformaTrak' Mask) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 8 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2017. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Reduction in anatomical dead space and improvement in ventilatory efficiency (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 Jan 2017.
