About this study

The main objective of this study is to determine whether the use of the PARI LC Sprint Sp nebulizer in the treatment of asthma in children under 36 months reduces the duration of hospitalization.

Read the detailed description

The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate whether the use of the LC Sprint Sp Nebulizer results in:

A-shortened duration of oxygen-dependence.

B-reduced side effects by assessing the patient's heart rate before and 30 minutes after the first aerosol and noting the occurrence of desaturation <90% during the nebulisation sessions.

C-increased acceptance of the aerosol, measured via a questionnaire given to the patient's parents at the end of hospitalization (a single questionnaire will be completed by either parent or both parents).

D-shortened length of stay based on the following discharge criteria: observation of a respiratory severity score ≤ 2 (Clinical Asthma Score (CAS)) for at least 12 consecutive hours and a transcutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2)> 94% when awake or > 91% during sleep.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard nebulizer and PARI LC Sprint Sp nebulizer in people with Asthma, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes 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 5 inclusion and 16 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 1 Feb 2017. 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.

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?

Length of hospitalization (time frame: hospital discharge (maximum of 10 days)). 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 1 Feb 2017.
