About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial to Optimise Patient-ventilator Interaction in Patients With Chronic Respiratory Failure

To evaluate a novel advanced physiological monitoring system to improve nocturnal non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in Neuromuscular disease (NMD), Chest wall disease (CWD), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) patients. By enhancing sleep comfort, adherence to ventilation will increase which, in turn, will improve ventilatory failure, quality of life and reduce length of admission during initiation of therapy. We aim to incorporate this technology into routine clinical practice.

Being tested
Surface parasternal electromyography (EMG) set up
Medical subject headings
Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome, Neuromuscular Diseases, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What participants receive

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

  • Surface parasternal electromyography (EMG) set upOther

    Ventilation parameters will be manipulated and titrated according to physiological measurements including signal from parasternal EMG and patient- ventilator asynchrony.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adherence with ventilation

    Data on patient reported compliance and ventilator recorded compliance will be collected.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. health related quality of life

    SRI, RAND-36, visual analogue scores, St. George's respiratory questionnaire

    Measured: 3 month

  2. length of hospital stay for initiation of home mechanical ventilation

    Measured: 3 months

  3. gas exchange

    overnight oximetry, overnight capnography,arterial oxygenation, arterial carbon dioxide

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Surface parasternal electromyography (EMG) set up in people with Chronic Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure and Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome, run by Michelle Ramsay at 2 sites in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 3 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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 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.

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?

Adherence with ventilation (time frame: 3 months). 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 3 Apr 2014.
