Trial summary

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new concept of mechanical ventilation. NAVA delivers assistance to spontaneous breathing based on the detection of the electrical activity of the diaphragm. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Non-invasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (niNAVA) After Extubation: Proposal for a Crossover-randomized Feasibility Trial

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new concept of mechanical ventilation. NAVA delivers assistance to spontaneous breathing based on the detection of the electrical activity of the diaphragm. The investigators will study the effects of non-invasive NAVA on respiratory muscle unloading critically ill patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. patient-ventilator synchrony

    Measured: outcomes are assessed at the end of each experimental period, i.e. every 20-30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. changes in respiratory pattern

    Measured: study duration

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist in people with Respiratory Failure, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern.

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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.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

patient-ventilator synchrony (time frame: outcomes are assessed at the end of each experimental period, i.e. every 20-30 minutes). 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 NCT01280383, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Jul 2015.
