Trial summary

Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure may require invasive mechanical ventilation. However, invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with a variety of complications. Non-invasive ventilation has been presented as an alternative treatment but controversy remains. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Open-labeled, Randomized Controlled Trial of Comparison Between High-flow Nasal Cannula System and Non-invasive Ventilation in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure

Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure may require invasive mechanical ventilation. However, invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with a variety of complications. Non-invasive ventilation has been presented as an alternative treatment but controversy remains. The investigators hypothesize that high-flow nasal cannula system is effective enough to prevent intubation in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and not inferior to non-invasive ventilation.

What participants receive

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

  • Non-invasive ventilationDevice

    Also called (BiPAP Vision, Respironics Inc., Murrysville, PA)

    Noninvasive ventilation: The inspiratory(IPAP) and expiratory positive airways pressure (EPAP), and the levels of FiO2 is set achieve SpO2 >92% or PaO2 >65 mmHg.

  • High flow nasal cannula systemDevice

    Also called Optiflow(Fisher & Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand)

    High flow nasal cannula system: FiO2 and flow rate of oxygen is set to achieve SpO2 >92% or PaO2 >65 mmHg.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
High-flow nasal cannulaExperimentalIn this arm,patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure were treated with high-flow nasal cannula system(Optiflow, Fisher \& Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand) to achieve SpO2 >92% or PaO2 >65 mmHg.
Receives: Device: High flow nasal cannula system
Non-invasive ventilationActive comparatorIn this arm, patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is treated with the bi-level positive airways pressure mode (BiPAP Vision, Respironics Inc., Murrysville, PA) S/T mode to achieve SpO2 >92% or PaO2 >65 mmHg.
Receives: Device: Non-invasive ventilation

What is being measured

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

  1. Success rate of treatment in two groups

    Successful treatment is to avoid intubation and achieve PaO2 >75 mmHg without respiratory distress for 24 hours while spontaneously breathing oxygen provided by a Venturi device at FiO2 0.50.

    Measured: up to 28 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. compliance of treatment

    Withdrawl of non-invasive ventilation or high-flow nasal cannula system without intubation because of intolerance

    Measured: up to 28 days

  2. adverse event

    Measured: up to 28 days

  3. hospital length of stay

    Measured: up to 90 days

  4. Hospital mortality

    Measured: up to 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Non-invasive ventilation and High flow nasal cannula system in people with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2010. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Success rate of treatment in two groups (time frame: up to 28 days). 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 21 Jul 2010.
