About this study

Official title: Study of the Effects of Nasal High Flow Therapy as a Treatment Option for Patients With Respiratory Insufficiencies During Sleep.

Respiratory insufficiencies during sleep can lead to reductions in the level of oxygen in the blood during the night, which has been shown to contribute to a range of morbidities.

The purpose of this study is to assess the possibility that a nasal high flow therapy device may be able to treat respiratory insufficiencies, by stabilizing breathing and preventing reduction in blood oxygen.

Heart failure patients will be screened at a heart failure clinic, and will be asked to undergo an overnight sleep study to determine is they exhibit respiratory insufficiencies during sleep. This sleep study may be completed in the sleep laboratory (attended polysomnography, PSG) or in-home (in-home polygraphy, PG). If they are diagnosed with respiratory insufficiencies, they will be asked to attend further overnight studies to see if treatment with nasal high flow therapy can be used to stabilize breathing.

Study groups in NCT02152566
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Diagnostic PSG/PG, PSG w. nasal high flow therapyExperimentalAll patients recruited will undergo a diagnostic sleep study, either a full in laboratory attended polysomnography (PSG), or an in-home polygraphy (PG). If respiratory insufficiencies with Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) are detected, these patients will undergo an overnight in laboratory attended PSG on a nasal high flow therapy device to test the primary endpoint of this study. Patients without respiratory insufficiencies after the first PSG/PG will take no further part in the trial.
Receives: Device: Nasal High flow therapy device

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment Efficacy

    The primary endpoint of the trial is to the efficacy of using nasal high flow therapy to stabilize breathing, as measured by the breath flow signal from PSG.

    Measured: During 1 night of Sleep on PSG

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal High flow therapy device in people with Sleep Disordered Breathing and Congestive Heart Failure, run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 2 sites in New Zealand.

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 8 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 8 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in New Zealand. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Sep 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Treatment Efficacy (time frame: During 1 night of Sleep on PSG). 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 8 Feb 2016.
