About this study

Official title: Oxygenation Using a Single Portable Pulse-dose-conserving Device Compared to Combined Use of Stationary and Portable Oxygen Delivery Devices.

Introduction: Portable oxygen devices simplify and facilitate patient therapy. This study was designed to compare oxygen saturation and patient satisfaction with a portable oxygen concentrator or with a combined system consisting of a fixed device with continuous flow oxygen dispensation and a portable device with pulse dispensation for ambulation.

Methods: This cross-over trial assessed 25 patients with COPD (92% men; mean age 72.2 ± 7.4 years; mean FEV 34.14 ± 12.51%) at four hospitals in Madrid. All patients had previously used the combined system, consisting of a fixed oxygenation system and a portable system for ambulation, with 16 (64%) using stationary and portable concentrators and 9 (36%) using a stationary reservoir and portable liquid oxygen bag. Oxygenation settings at rest and while walking were determined at baseline. Patients were maintained on the previous combined system for one week and then switched to the portable oxygen concentrator for one week. Mean SpO2 over 24 hours was calculated by the software in the oximeter, and compliance was monitored

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • InogenDevice

    single pulse dose concentrator (Inogen One G2 portable. Inogen) device for 24 hours

  • Combination system of a portable and a stationary device.Device

    Combination system of a portable and a stationary device (reservoir of liquid oxygen "Liberator 30, Caire" and a liquid Stroller oxygen pack "Caire" for patients using previously liquid oxygen, or a VisionAire5 "Airsep" stationary concentrator and an Inogen One G2 portable "Inogen" concentrator for patients using previously concentrators)

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of time desaturated below 90% when using a combined oxygenation system

    oxygenation of patient during use of a combined system consisting of a fixed device with continuous flow oxygen dispensation and a portable device with pulse dispensation for ambulation.

    Measured: at day 7

  2. Percentage of time desaturated below 90% using single oxygenation system

    Oxygenation of patient during use of a portable oxygen pulse dose concentrator.

    Measured: day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Inogen and Combination system of a portable and a stationary device. in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Hospital Son Espases 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2014. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 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?

Percentage of time desaturated below 90% when using a combined oxygenation system (time frame: at day 7). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02079753, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Mar 2014.
