About this study

Official title: Clinical Effect of the Association of Noninvasive Ventilation and High Flow Nasal Oxygen Therapy in Resuscitation of Patients With Acute Lung Injury. A Randomised Study (FLORALI Study)

The aim of the study is to compare, in patients with acute respiratory failure/acute lung injury the efficacy of three different methods of oxygenation to prevent endotracheal intubation :

  1. conventional oxygen therapy (O2 conventional)
  2. high flow nasal oxygen therapy (O2-HFN)
  3. association of high flow nasal oxygen therapy with non invasive positive pressure ventilation (O2-HFN/NPPV).
Being tested
O2 conventional, O2-HFN : high flow nasal oxygen therapy, O2-HFN/NPPV : association of high flow nasal oxygen therapy and non invasive positive pressure ventilation

What participants receive

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

  • O2 conventionalOther

    standard low flow therapy

  • O2-HFN : high flow nasal oxygen therapyDevice

    The patient will receive high flow nasal of humidified oxygen, set between 30 to 50 l/min. The inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2) will be adjusted in order to obtain a SpO2 >92%.

  • O2-HFN/NPPV : association of high flow nasal oxygen therapy and non invasive positive pressure ventilationDevice

    The patient will receive successively in a day NPPV and O2-HFN. The NPPV will be applied with an airway humidification achieved by using a heated humidifier and a facial mask adapted to the morphology of the patient. The settings will be adjusted as follow : an inspiratory pressure between 6 to 14 cmH2O, in order to obtain a tidal volume between 7 to 10 ml/kg of predicted weight, a positive expiratory pressure between 0 to 10 cmH2O in order to obtain a SpO2 >92% with the minimal FiO2.

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the number of patients in each group who require endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation

    Measured: at day 28

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. mechanical ventilation-free to day 28

    Measured: 28 days

  2. ICU morbidity

    Measured: at day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing O2 conventional, O2-HFN : high flow nasal oxygen therapy and O2-HFN/NPPV : association of high flow nasal oxygen therapy and non invasive positive pressure ventilation in people with Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Poitiers University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 11 Oct 2016. 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 France. 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?

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?

To compare the number of patients in each group who require endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation (time frame: at day 28). 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 NCT01320384, 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 11 Oct 2016.
