About this study

It has been shown, that in patients with very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the additional use of non-invasive ventilation during pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) may enhance the benefits of PR. It is assumed that the non-invasive ventilation techniques provides a better recovery of the respiratory pump during the night. If non-invasive ventilation also decreases the metabolic demands during night is unknown and is aim of this study. During a 3 week inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program a total of 85 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease stage IV will be recruited for this study. There will be a 4:1 distribution into 2 groups. 68 patients with an indication for the use of a non-invasive ventilation will be involved in the intervention group where non-invasive ventilation will be initialized. 17 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease stage IV without an indication for the use of non-invasive ventilation will be involved in a control group to detect the changes in nocturnal energy expenditure produced by pulmonary rehabilitation alone. All outcome measurements will be performed during day 1-3 and will be repeated after 12 days (with or without non-invasive ventilation) at day 15-17 of the pulmonary rehabilitation program.

A sub-trial of this study is to validate night movement accuracy of the Dynaport activity monitor with the observations made by a night-vision camera in the sleep lab. This will be performed in study participants as well as in healthy volunteers.

What is being measured

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

  1. energy expenditure during night

    energy expenditure will be assessed by Sensewear Armband

    Measured: day 1-3 and day 14-16

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. energy expenditure during day

    energy expenditure will be assessed by SenseWear Armband

    Measured: day 1-3 and day 14-16

  2. lung function

    measured by a bodyplethysmograph

    Measured: day 1-3 and day 14-16

  3. sleep quality

    measured by Severe Respiratory Insufficiency Questionnaire

    Measured: day 1-3 and day 14-16

  4. arterial pressure of carbon dioxide during night

    measured transcutaneously by a Sentec device

    Measured: day 1-3 and day 14-16

  5. movement activity during the night

    night movement activity will be measured in a subgroup with the Dynaport device

    Measured: day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nocturnal non-invasive ventilation in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, run by Schön Klinik Berchtesgadener Land at 1 site in Germany.

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 9 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 27 Feb 2019. 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 Germany. 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 Klaus Kenn, Dr. (+49 8652 931451, kkenn@schoen-kliniken.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

energy expenditure during night (time frame: day 1-3 and day 14-16). 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 27 Feb 2019.
