About this study

Official title: Patient-Ventilator Interactions During Sleep Under Non-Invasive Ventilation in Severe Stable COPD

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in severe hypercapnic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) may be associated - during sleep - with recurrent episodes of patient ventilatory asynchrony, which in turn may affect quality of sleep, efficacy of ventilation and comfort of nocturnal NIV.Polysomnography (PSG) under NIV is necessary to detect these events.

Adjusting ventilator settings according to respiratory events detected by PSG with NIV may improve quality of sleep, efficacy of ventilation and comfort of nocturnal NIV.

Read the detailed description

Patients under NIV for hypercapnic COPD have several reasons to develop patient-ventilatory asynchrony: delayed cycling, and insufficient expiratory time may induce progressive dynamic hyperinflation, and increase intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi); too high levels of pressure support may also contribute to dynamic hyperinflation. Increase in PEEPi is associated with two respiratory events: unrewarded inspiratory efforts, and auto-triggering.

Our hypotheses are: 1/that these events occur frequently in COPD under NIV and that they are not detected by medical history or usual monitoring tools (SpO2; PtcCO2); 2/ that they can be easily detected by polysomnography; 3/ that simple adjustments of ventilator parameters aiming to reduce dynamic hyperinflation and unrewarded inspiratory efforts may improve efficacy of ventilation, quality of sleep and comfort of treatment.

The present study compares the results of two consecutive sleep studies: 1.PSG under NIV in severe stable COPD under "usual ventilator settings" with 2.PSG under NIV after adapting ventilator settings to results of initial PSG.

What participants receive

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

  • Adjustment of ventilator settings (device)Device

    Decrease in pressure support, increase in respiratory back-up rate, increase in expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) to counteract effect of PEEPi, and adjustment of cycling (at higher percentage of peak inspiratory flow)

What is being measured

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

  1. Subjective evaluation of efficacy of nocturnal ventilation after adjusting ventilator settings

    Visual analogic scale (VAS) of morning dyspnea, and questionnaire evaluating 8 items of comfort of ventilation (Janssens JP et al; Impact of volume targeting on efficacy of bi-level non-invasive ventilation and sleep in obesity-hypoventilation; Respir Med 2009 Feb;103(2):165-72)

    Measured: one night

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Objective evaluation of efficacy of ventilation after adjustment of ventilator settings

    Analysis of leaks, estimated ventilation, SpO2, TcPCO2, sleep structure, and patient-ventilatory synchronisation and comparison with data under "usual settings" for ventilator

    Measured: one night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Adjustment of ventilator settings (device) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Ligue Pulmonaire Genevoise at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 1 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 12 Aug 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 Switzerland. 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?

Subjective evaluation of efficacy of nocturnal ventilation after adjusting ventilator settings (time frame: one night). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01180439, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 12 Aug 2010.
