About this study

Official title: Nasal High Flow (NHF) Therapy Use Following Hospitalization for an Exacerbation of COPD: A Feasibility Study

The aim of this feasibility study is to provide data for a subsequent randomized controlled trial to investigate if patient outcomes will be improved after an acute COPD exacerbation using domiciliary nasal high flow therapy (NHF) compared to standard care. This feasibility study will investigate the following: process, resources, management and scientific aspects of delivering NHF as an adjunct therapy in COPD patients.

Being tested
NHF with or without Oxygen
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NHF with or without OxygenDevice

    NHF using myAIRVO™ 2 will be set at 25L/min at 37°C. However, all participants are able to lower the delivered temperature to 34°C.

Study groups in NCT02552732
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NHF with or without OxygenExperimentalNHF with or without oxygen will be delivered to COPD patients using myAIRVO™ 2 for 30 days post hospital discharge
Receives: Device: NHF with or without Oxygen

What is being measured

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

  1. NHF Use for 30 Days Following Discharge After AECOPD

    Use will be expressed as hours of myAIRVO 2 use per day over 30 days, as obtained by myAIRVO 2 electronic monitoring

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

Secondary outcomes (23)
  1. Percentage of Days of Use, Adjusted for Number of Days With myAIRVO 2 at Home

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  2. Average Use Per Day of the myAIRVO 2 During Week 1

    Measured: First week after hospital discharge

  3. Average Use Per Day of the myAIRVO 2 During Week 2

    Measured: Second week after hospital discharge

  4. Average Use Per Day of the myAIRVO 2 During Week 3

    Measured: Third week after hospital discharge

  5. Average Use Per Day of the myAIRVO 2 During Week 4

    Measured: Fourth week after hospital discharge

  6. Average Use Per Day on Days of myAIRVO 2 Use

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  7. Number of Participants Using Home Oxygen

    Measured: At study entry

  8. Number of Participants Who Reported Having Changed the myAIRVO 2 Flow Settings From the Initial Flow and the Corresponding Reduction in Flow

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  9. Number of Participants Who Where Screened But Were Excluded From Enrollment

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  10. Number of Participants Who Reported Having Changed the myAIRVO 2 Temperature Setting From the Initial Setting

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  11. Number of Participants Who Withdrew From Study After Enrollment, up to 30 Days

    Number of participants who withdrew from study after enrollment, up to 30 days

    Measured: At study completion

  12. Number of Participants With at Least One Hospital Readmission Within 30 Days of Discharge

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  13. Reasons for Hospital Admissions

    AECOPD, other respiratory cause or other cause

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  14. In Those That Had at Least One Hospital Readmission: Number of Readmissions

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  15. In Those That Had at Least One Hospital Readmission: Time to First Hospital Readmission

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  16. In Those That Had at Least One Hospital Readmission: Hospital Readmission Length

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  17. Number of Participants With at Least One ED Visit Within 30 Days of Discharge

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  18. Reason for ED Visits

    ED visit due to AECOPD

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  19. Number of Participants With at Least One GP Visit Within 30 Days of Discharge

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  20. LACE Index for Hospital Admissions

    The LACE Index is a scoring tool for assessing the likelihood of readmission or death within 30 days of discharge. It is based of 4 parameters: length of stay (L), acuity of the admission (A), co-morbidities (C), number of Emergency Department visits within the last 6 months (E). Sub scores for each parameter are summed to give a LACE score ranging from 1 to 19. A score of 0 to 4 = Low; 5 to 9 = Moderate; and a score of ≥ 10 = High risk of readmission.

    Measured: 30 days after hospital discharge

  21. FEV1 at Day 1 and 31

    FEV1 change from day 1 to day 31

    Measured: 1st and 31st day after hospital discharge

  22. SVC(in) at Day 1 and 31

    Slow Vital Capacity (inspiratory) change from day 1 to day 31

    Measured: 1st and 31st day after hospital discharge

  23. FVC Change From Day 1 to Day 31

    Measured: 1st and 31st day after hospital discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NHF with or without Oxygen in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and COPD, run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 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 17 Aug 2020. 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 United States, 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 24 Jul 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?

NHF Use for 30 Days Following Discharge After AECOPD (time frame: 30 days after hospital discharge). 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 17 Aug 2020.
