About this study

Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) correlates well with maximal exercise capacity and is used to assess the ventilatory function during exercise in COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients. Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) often occurs during MVV in COPD and is believed to be due to expiratory flow limitation.

The present study is intended to assess whether DH can also occur during MVV in normal subjects without expiratory flow limitation.

Maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) correlates well with maximal exercise capacity and is used to assess the ventilatory function during exercise in COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients. Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) often occurs during MVV in COPD and is believed to be due to expiratory flow limitation. The present study is intended to assess whether DH can also occur during MVV in normal subjects without expiratory flow limitation.

Study design: healthy subjects with normal lung function will perform MVV at increasing breathing frequencies and maximal tidal volume, from 10 to 100 cycles per minute. Inspiratory capacity (IC) will be measured at rest and after each 12 seconds of MVV in order to detect DH. From the moment DH appeares at a given frequency, only one additional MVV at a higher breathing frequency will be conducted to confirm DH.

  • Healthy SubjectsBehavioural

    Subjects with normal lung function performed MVV at increasing breathing frequencies and maximal tidal volume, from 10 to 100 cycles per minute. Inspiratory capacity (IC) was measured at rest and after each 12 seconds of MVV in order to detect DH. From the moment DH appeared at a given frequency, only one additional MVV at a higher breathing frequency was conducted to confirm DH.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation

    We analyze Frequency of Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) which induces a significant decrease of the Inspiratory Capacity (IC) post MVV compared to the IC at rest.

    Measured: day one

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Correlation between the frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second

    We analyze if there is a good correlation between the frequency which induces a significant Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second

    Measured: day one

  2. Correlation between the frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and Forced Vital Capacity

    We analyze if there is a good correlation between the frequency which induces a significant Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and Forced Vital Capacity

    Measured: day one

  3. Correlation between the frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and Forced Expiratory Flows at 25%, 50% and 75% of Forced Vital Capacity

    We analyze if there is a good correlation between the frequency which induces a significant Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and Forced Expiratory Flows at 25%, 50% and 75% of Forced Vital Capacity

    Measured: day one

  4. Correlation between the frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and age

    We analyze if there is a good correlation between the frequency which induces a significant Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and age

    Measured: day one

  5. Correlation between the frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and body mass index

    We analyze if there is a good correlation between the frequency which induces a significant Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and body mass index

    Measured: day one

  6. Correlation between the frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and Inspiratory Capacity at rest

    We analyzed if there is a good correlation between the frequency which induces a significant Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and Inspiratory capacity at rest

    Measured: day one

  7. Correlation between the frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and IC/FVC ratio (IC : Inspiratory Capacity at rest ; FVC : Forced Vital Capacity)

    We analyze if there is a good correlation between the frequency which induces a significant Dynamic Hyperinflation (DH) and IC/FVC ratio (IC : Inspiratory Capacity at rest ; FVC : Forced Vital Capacity)

    Measured: day one

  8. Comparison Maximal Voluntary Ventilation with Forced Expiratory Volume in one second multiplied by 35

    We compare Maximal Voluntary Ventilation at the different frequencies with the common predictive value of maximal ventilation obtained by multiplying Forced Expiratory Volume in one second by 35

    Measured: day one

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Healthy Subjects in people with Dynamic Hyperinflation, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 2 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Audrey Herpeux (003225067323, audrey_herpeux@stpierre-bru.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency which induces Dynamic Hyperinflation (time frame: day one). 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 2 Feb 2017.
