About this study

This study will investigate the effects of a reservoir nasal cannula (Oxymizer®) compared to a conventional nasal cannula (CNC) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be recruited during a 3-week inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program. They will perform the following three interventions on consecutive days and will repeat them after a week. During these days the time table for prescribed physical activities and therapies will be kept in a comparable fashion.

The following 3 interventions will be performed in randomized order:

Day A: The Patient wears a conventional nasal cannula for 12 h with oxygen flow rate as prescribed during ADL

Day B: The Patient wears the Oxymizer® with prescribed oxygen flow rate for 12 h during ADL

Day C: The patient wears the Oxymizer® with a flow rate reduced by 1l/min in comparison to the prescribed oxygen flow rate, for 12h

The following week the same measurements will be repeated. The mean of the corresponding two measures will be calculated for each approach.

Study groups in NCT02268981
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Oxymizer® compared to CNCExperimentalFrom 7am to 7pm oxygen saturation is measured by a pulse oximeter. One day with conventional nasal cannula, one day with Oxymizer®, one day with Oxymizer® and reduced Oxygen flow (-1l/min). The order of these days is randomized in 6 groups. The intervention will be performed on consecutive days and twice during study period.
Receives: Device: Oxymizer® compared to CNC

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in oxygen saturation between Oxymizer and conventional nasal cannula

    Oxygen Saturation will be measured via pulseoxymetry for 12 hours. On 2 days, mean oxygen Saturation will be reported while using Oxymizer or a conventional nasal cannula, both with similar Oxygen flow. The difference of the mean Oxygen Saturation of 12 hours between both cannulae will be the Primary outcome.

    Measured: day 1 to 13

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxymizer® compared to CNC in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 3 Sep 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 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?

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?

Difference in oxygen saturation between Oxymizer and conventional nasal cannula (time frame: day 1 to 13). 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 3 Sep 2015.
