What is being measured

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

  1. Exercise Endurance Time to Maximum Tolerance

    Endurance measured on cycle ergometer at predetermined constant work rate. Subjects will exercise to their limit of tolerability (max effort).

    Measured: Maximum exercise endurance in minutes, for both treatment arms. Two 4-hr study visits, 1 week apart. Endurance endpoint will be evaluated during a single 4-hr period on Study Visit 2. Each exercise test will be separated by a 1.5 hr rest period.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Borg 10 Dyspnea Score, Subject reported

    10 point Analog scale

    Measured: Recorded 1-2 min before and every 1 min during exercise testing. Two 4-hr study visits, scheduled 1 week apart. Endpoint will be evaluated during a single 4-hr period on Study Visit 2. Each exercise test will be separated by a 1.5 hr rest period.

  2. Arterial Oxygen Saturation via Pulse Oximeter (SpO2)

    SpO2 measured via forehead and finger pulse oximeters

    Measured: Recorded 1-2 min before and every 1 minute during exercise testing. Two 4-hr study visits, scheduled 1 week apart. Endpoint will be evaluated during a single 4-hr period on Study Visit 2. Each exercise test will be separated by a 1.5 hr rest period.

  3. Leg Fatigue, Subject Reported

    10 point Analog scale

    Measured: Recorded 1-2 min before and every 1 min during exercise testing. Two 4-hr study visits, scheduled 1 week apart. Endpoint will be evaluated during a single 4-hr period on Study Visit 2. Each exercise test will be separated by a 1.5 hr rest period.

  4. Heart Rate

    Heart rate recorded by pulse oximeters

    Measured: Recorded 1-2 min before and every 1 min during exercise testing. Two 4-hr study visits, scheduled 1 week apart. Endpoint will be evaluated during a single 4-hr period on Study Visit 2. Each exercise test will be separated by a 1.5 hr rest period.

  5. Respiratory Rate

    Respiratory rate recorded by observer

    Measured: Recorded 1-2 min before and every 1 min during exercise. Evaluated during a single 4-hr period on Study Visit 2. Each exercise test will be separated by a 1.5 hr rest period.

  6. Adverse Events

    Monitoring for observed or reported adverse reactions

    Measured: Two 4-hr study visits, sheduled 1 week apart. Subjects will be monitored for AEs continuously throughuout the study visit. AEs will be monitored and recored during both study visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tidal Assist Ventilator System and Nasal Cannula Oxygen in people with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease and Interstitial Lung Disease, run by New Aera, Inc.

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 4 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 29 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Exercise Endurance Time to Maximum Tolerance (time frame: Maximum exercise endurance in minutes, for both treatment arms. Two 4-hr study visits, 1 week apart. Endurance endpoint will be evaluated during a single 4-hr period on Study Visit 2. Each exercise test will be separated by a 1.5 hr rest period.). 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 NCT02278107, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 29 Feb 2016.
