About this study

Official title: Measurement of Assisted Vital Capacity to Appreciate the Level of Recruitment in Neuromuscular Diseases

Respiratory failure is the most common cause of death in neuromuscular diseases. The aim of this research is to evaluate the thoracopulmonary recruitment by comparison of inspiratory vital capacity (VC ins)and inspiratory/expiratory vital capacity (VC ins-ex) with the vital capacity (VC) according to pathology and severity of pulmonary damage of patients with neuromuscular diseases. The methodology consists in realize VC by support of inspiratory/expiratory pressures, while the patient is passive and realizing a maximal inspiratory/expiratory effort simultaneously, with the aid of mechanical insufflation/exsufflation device (Cough Assist®). The evaluation will last for 30 minutes and the non-inclusion criteria are those for an insufflation. The study hypothesis is that long term insufflation/exsufflation device use could improve thoracopulmonary mobility.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing measures of assisted vital capacity by a mechanical insufflation/exsufflation (Cough Assist®) in people with Respiration Disorders and Neuromuscular Disease, run by Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2015. 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: With 50 patients, the measure of assist vital capacity has been validated). 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?

Difference between spontaneous vital capacity and supported vital capacity at the inspiration and at inspiration/expiration at the same manoeuver. (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 28 Jul 2015.
