Trial summary

Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow obstruction that is progressive over many years and is largely irreversible. Advanced COPD is associated with arterial oxygen desaturation leading to a series of complications and, ultimately, decreased survival. Read more about this study

About this study

Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow obstruction that is progressive over many years and is largely irreversible. Advanced COPD is associated with arterial oxygen desaturation leading to a series of complications and, ultimately, decreased survival. Long-term oxygen therapy can improve clinical outcomes in these patients, but the exact target of oxygen saturation that actually translates into improvements is not known. The basis for the work in this proposal is to focus a new approach to measure oxygen desaturation linked to daily activity. Accelerometers are used to measure daily activity and then synchronized with ambulatory oximetry to establish an activity/oxygen-saturation profile for individual patients. The three main objectives of this study are 1) determine the feasibility of AOM as a measurement of the temporal profile of oxygen saturation in patients with chronic lung disease; 2) determine if serial AOM-derived data is reliable and reproducible; and 3) determine thresholds of oxygen desaturation that are associated with different activity profiles

What is being measured

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

  1. Ambulatory oximetry/activity profile

    Oxygen saturation is measured with a pulse oximeter that has the capacity to collect data over 30- 34 hours; physical activity is measured with two pizo-electric accelerometers. Oximetry and activity data are synchronized to define a profile of oxygen saturation that is linked to usual daily activity.

    Measured: Data is collected over 30-34 consecutive hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by VA New York Harbor Healthcare System at 1 site in United States.

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 6 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 7 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 United States. 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?

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?

Ambulatory oximetry/activity profile (time frame: Data is collected over 30-34 consecutive hours). 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 NCT01873092, which also lists 3 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 7 Jun 2013.
