About this study

Official title: Home Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Who Develop Nocturnal Hypercapnic Response Associated to Oxygen Therapy

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefits of home mechanical ventilation associated to oxygen therapy in COPD patients with chronic respiratory failure (CRF) who develop hypercapnia and nocturnal respiratory acidosis secondary to oxygen administration.

We will include clinically stable COPD patients with hypercapnic CRF who develop a nocturnal hypercapnic response to oxygen (PaCO2 increase on awakening, at night with oxygen, >10 mmHg respect to PaCO2 breathing room air and awake). Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) will previously have been excluded.

Patients will be admitted to the Pneumology ward where a nocturnal pulsioxymetry breathing oxygen therapy will be performed. Arterial blood gas samples will be taken at awakening (7AM).

Patients who develop a hypercapnic response to oxygen will be randomised into 2 treatment groups:

  • Oxygen therapy group
  • Home mechanical ventilation plus oxygen therapy group Home mechanical ventilation will be performed with a bilevel pressure ventilator. Functional respiratory variables as well as quality of life and sleep at onset and after 6 months treatment will be compared.

The principal outcome will be the evolution of arterial blood gases (PaCO2) between the two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial pressure of CO2.

    Follow up of its evolution comparing patients under O2 treatment and patients under O2 + non invasive ventilation treatment.

    Measured: Six months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Functional respiratory tests.

    Evolution during a follow up of 6 months between both groups (O2 vs O2+NIV).

    Measured: Six months

  2. Quality of life related to health

    Evolution during a follow up of 6 months between both groups (O2 vs O2+NIV).

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Nocturnal hypoventilation (nocturnal pulseoxymetry)

    Evolution during a follow up of 6 months between both groups (O2 vs O2+NIV).

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Home mechanical ventilation in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

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 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 22 Mar 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 Spain. 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?

Arterial pressure of CO2. (time frame: Six months). 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 22 Mar 2017.
