Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age over 18 years.
  • Admission to ICU for ARF. ARF was defined with the need of oxygen over 6l/min to maintain SpO2 over 95% or symptom of respiratory distress (intercostal recession or tachypnea >30/min or dyspnea at rest).
  • Immunosuppression. Immunosuppressed conditions were solid tumor, hematological malignancy, steroid treatment or other immunosuppressive treatment, or HIV infection.

Who cannot join

  • Hypercapnia (above 47 mmHg)

  • Previous mechanical ventilation in the days before admission
  • Need of immediate NIV or intubation
  • Refusal
  • Pregnancy

About this study

In immunocompromised patients, Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) is associated with a high case-fatality, particularly when invasive Mechanical Ventilation (MV) is required. In the most hypoxemic patients, oxygen administration through High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) has been reported as an alternative to the venturi mask. The aim of this study is to compare HFNC and venturi mask on early respiratory deterioration and patient's comfort in that setting. The investigators planned a prospective randomized study in 4 Intensive Care Units (ICUs). As respiratory deterioration occurs early after ICU admission, patients are randomized to receive two hours of oxygen therapy either through HFNC or venturi mask. The primary endpoint is defined as the need for invasive or noninvasive MV in the 2-hour period. Secondary endpoints include comfort, dyspnea and thirst.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing High Flow Nasal Canula (HFNC), Venturi mask and Oxygen in people with Acute Respiratory Failure and Immunocompromised Host, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 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.

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?

Oxygenation failure (time frame: 2 hours). 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 NCT02424773, 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 18 Apr 2016.
