Official title: A Study to Evaluate Improvement in the Quality of Life and Health and Economic Outcomes of Patients Diagnosed With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

  • Evaluate subjects in an prospective observational study
  • Subjects will be administered scientifically validated questionnaires
  • Evaluate Quality Improvement and Oxygen Utilization Improvements.
  1. Functional capability, dyspnea, oxygen saturation as primary endpoints
  2. Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI)
  3. Transitional Dyspnea Index (TDI)
  4. Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRQ)
  5. Six minute walk distance (6MWD)

  2. Health care utilization (emergency room encounters, hospital admissions)
Read the detailed description

Evaluate subjects in an prospective observational study in which subjects will be screened and administered scientifically validated questionnaires at study entry and during the observation period at specified intervals to determine Quality Improvements through using the Breath Responsive Variable Bolus Oxygen Conserving Device with a Portable/Ambulatory Oxygen Source on improvements in functional capability, dyspnea, oxygen saturation, quality of life as primary endpoints, and portable oxygen source utilization, health care utilization as secondary endpoints.

What is being measured

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

  1. Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI)

    Baseline Functional Capability, Dyspnea as measured with the Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI)

    Measured: At baseline once upon entry into the study

  2. Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI)

    Improvement in Functional Capability, Dyspnea as measured with the Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI)

    Measured: Every two weeks after baseline up to three months

  3. Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRQ)

    Improvement in Quality of Life as measured with the Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire

    Measured: At baseline upon study entry and change from baseline every two weeks up to three months

  4. Oxygen Saturation

    Assess pulse oximetry saturation at baseline on setting to maintain oxygen saturation equal to or greater than 90% at rest and with activity every two weeks to determine improvement or equivalence

    Measured: At baseline upon study entry and change from baseline every two weeks up to three months

  5. Six Minute Walk Distance

    Assess distance covered in meters at baseline over 6 minutes and every two weeks up to three months to determine improvement in functional capability

    Measured: At baseline upon study entry and change from baseline every two weeks up to three months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Portable Oxygen Source Utilization

    Reduction in Portable Oxygen Source Use from baseline on enrollment with assessments of use each day throughout study period to determine if there are utilization reductions resulting in cost savings during study period.

    Measured: 6 Months

  2. Healthcare Utilization

    Unscheduled Hospital, Emergency Room or Physician Office Visits, as measured from baseline 6 months prior to study entry and during study period to identify utilization changes if any.

    Measured: 6 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD, run by StratiHealth at 3 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 7 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 15 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) (time frame: At baseline once upon entry into the study). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02627599, which also lists 36 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 15 Aug 2018.
