About this study

Official title: Point-of-Care End-Tidal Carbon Monoxide Measurement to Screen for Sickle Cell Disease

Modify the design of the CoSense device (Model C20112, currently cleared by the FDA for ETCO (end-tidal carbon monoxide) monitoring to improve accuracy and consistency under temperature conditions encountered in countries with high prevalence of SCD (Sickle Cell Disease).

Read the detailed description

Increase the temperature operating range of ETCO measurements to 5 to 45°C. The signal output-to-CO (carbon monoxide) concentration correlation of the CO sensor is dependent on temperature. The new algorithm will be a different approach because the current algorithm is at the limits of its capability. We will establish the new specifications by determining performance in a bench model under simulated temperature conditions. We will then determine the ability of the modified device to distinguish between SCD and healthy controls. During this initial testing, we will examine the validity of ETCO measurements under regulated room temperature in the hospital setting. We will enroll 20 subjects, 10 each in the SCD arm and control arm to determine the mean and variance of the ETCO values.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing End-tidal Carbon Monoxide Subjects in people with Sickle Cell Anemia, run by UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland.

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 4 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 9 Jun 2021. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Oct 2020). 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?

End-Tidal Carbon Monoxide (time frame: 1 hour). 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 NCT02530242, 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 9 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
