About this study

Official title: Improvement of Respiratory Muscle Function With Noninvasive Ventilation in Exacerbated COPD Patients Presenting Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure Without Acidosis

There is evidence that noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) is effective in the treatment of severe exacerbations of COPD presenting respiratory acidosis.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefit of adding NIV to conventional treatment in patients with COPD exacerbation and hypercapnic respiratory failure without acidosis requiring hospital admission. It is known that NIV improves respiratory mechanics, so the primary outcome will be respiratory muscle function.

All patients admitted to the hospital for COPD exacerbation and hypercapnic respiratory failure without acidosis will be included for a period of 12 months. The patients will be randomized into two groups (conventional treatment or conventional treatment plus NIV). Clinical data, blood gases, muscle strength parameters will be collected at the inclusion time and 24h after starting NIV. Quality of life and hospital stay will be measured at discharge. All patients will be followed for a year.

Receives: Device: Non-invasive ventilation

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory muscle function.

    Measurement of maximal inspiratory pressure and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure using a portable respiratory pressure meter.

    Measured: At baseline, at discharge (average of 8 days), 6 months and one year later.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Days of hospitalization.

    Measured: At discharge (average of 8 days).

  2. Dyspnea scale questionnaire

    Measured: At baseline, at discharge, 6 months and one year later.

  3. Quality of life

    Measured: At baseline, 6 months and one year later.

  4. Blood gases

    Measured: At baseline and at discharge (average of 8 days).

  5. Number of hospital readmissions in the next year

    Measured: At one year after discharge (average of 8 days).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-invasive ventilation in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Parc de Salut Mar at 1 site in Spain.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2013. 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Cristina Estirado, PhD (932483138, 97623@parcdesalutmar.cat), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Respiratory muscle function. (time frame: At baseline, at discharge (average of 8 days), 6 months and one year later.). 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 5 Jun 2013.
