About this study

Official title: High Intensity Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (HINPPV) for Stable Hypercapnic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (HINPPV) for stable, hypercapnic COPD patients. The investigators believe that HINPPV, used at least 6 hours nocturnally over three months, will benefit the stable hypercapnic COPD patient through a reduction in the daytime partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) levels.

Read the detailed description

The High Intensity Non-invasive Positive Pressure trial is a single arm interventional study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of High Intensity Non-invasive ventilation (HINPPV) in stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary patients with chronically elevated carbon dioxide levels. Participants will undergo various testing ( arterial blood gas (ABG), Pulmonary Function Test (PFTs), Polysomnography (PSGs), 6 minute walk tests)over a 3 month period to determine if this type of therapy will improve daytime carbon dioxide levels. The participants will also complete quality of life questionnaires to help ascertain improvements in their daily living activities.

What participants receive

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

  • Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP)Device

    Also called Synchrony BiPAP ventilator and Trilogy Ventilator

    This is a single arm interventional study. Hypercapnic COPD participants that meet eligibility criteria will receive high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation(HINPPV). Participants will receive HINPPV via bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) via a Synchrony ventilator if they require an inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) less than or equal to 30 cmH2O; or the Trilogy ventilator if they require an IPAP greater than 30 cmH2O.

High Intensity Non Invasive Pos.PressureExperimentalThe High Intensity Non-invasive Pos.Pressure trial is a single arm interventional study. Hypercapnic COPD participants that meet eligibility criteria will receive high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (HINPPV) for 90 days. Participants will receive HINPPV via bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP Synchrony) if they require an inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) less than or equal to 30 cmH2O (centimeters of water); or the Trilogy ventilator if they require an IPAP greater than 30 cmH2O.

What is being measured

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

  1. Daytime Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide in Arterial Blood (PaCO2)

    Daytime PaCO2 levels assessed after using high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (HINPPV) are compared to the participants' baseline daytime PaCO2 levels.

    Measured: Before and after 3 months of therapy

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Health Status

    Health status was assessed by completing different surveys at baseline and after 3 months of therapy. The Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality of Life was administered at baseline and 3 months. It is a 35-item, interview-administered scale, the SAQLI evaluates four domains of quality of life associated with sleep apnea: daily functioning, social interactions, emotional functioning, and symptoms. The SAQLI use a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (maximal impairment) to 7 (no impairment).

    Measured: Before and after 3 months of therapy

  2. Maximal Inspiratory Pressure

    The Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is the maximum negative pressure that can be generated from one inspiratory effort starting from functional residual capacity (FRC) or residual volume (RV). This was assessed at baseline and after 3 months of therapy.

    Measured: Before and after 3 months of therapy

  3. Exercise Capacity

    Exercise capacity will be measured by comparing the 6 minute walk test as measured in meters from baseline to 3 months

    Measured: Before and after 3 months of therapy

  4. Dyspnea at Rest and With Exertion

    The modifed Borg scale was used to measure dyspnea. The Dyspnea Borg scale measures patients perceived level of dyspnea. The scale ranges from 0 to 10, 0- nothing at all and 10 is maximal.

    Measured: Before and after 3 months of therapy

  5. Sleepiness

    Sleepiness will be evaluated by measuring the the baseline and 3 month Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is an 8 question survey regarding daytime sleepiness. The higher the score the higher the chance of dozing during the day. Each question is rated on a 0 to 3 scale of chance of dozing or sleeping. 0 would be no chance, 3 would be the highest chance.

    Measured: Before and after 3 months of therapy

  6. Duration of Sleep

    Duration of sleep will be measured using total sleep time. Total sleep time is the overall number of minutes of sleep, this will be compared from baseline to 3 months.

    Measured: Before and after 3 months of therapy

  7. Efficiency of Sleep

    Sleep efficiency will be measured by taking the total sleep time by the total time in bed. This is measured as a percentage and compared from baseline to 3 months

    Measured: Before and after 3 months of therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Philips Respironics 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 14 inclusion and 18 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 2 Jan 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Daytime Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide in Arterial Blood (PaCO2) (time frame: Before and after 3 months of therapy). 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 2 Jan 2019.
