Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to study the role of closing volume as a determinant of orthopnea in stable obese subjects. The investigators hypothesized that: (1) increase in closing volume in supine position would be greater in orthopneic than in non-orthopneic subjects, and (2) the relationship of change in closing… Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to study the role of closing volume as a determinant of orthopnea in stable obese subjects. The investigators hypothesized that: (1) increase in closing volume in supine position would be greater in orthopneic than in non-orthopneic subjects, and (2) the relationship of change in closing volume to change in dyspnea with position would be dependent on expiratory flow limitation in the sitting position.

In stable obese subjects, in sitting and supine positions, the investigators measured Borg dyspnea score, static lung volumes, expiratory flow limitation, and single-breath nitrogen expiration test, from which the investigators determined closing volume and closing capacity, slope of phase III, and opening capacity.

Orthopnea was defined as any increase in the Borg score in the supine position from its value in the sitting position

What is being measured

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

  1. closing volume by nitrogen washout method

    Measured: 30 minutes after changing position (hour 2)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. static lung volumes by plethysmography

    static lung volumes are composed of vital capacity, FEV1, inspiratory capacity, and reserve expiratory volume and are measured by plethysmography

    Measured: 30 minutes after changing position (hour 2)

  2. expiratory flow limitation by NEP test

    NEP test

    Measured: 30 minutes after changing position (hour 2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Supine in people with Obesity, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 28 May 2019. 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 France. 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?

closing volume by nitrogen washout method (time frame: 30 minutes after changing position (hour 2)). 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 NCT02832609, 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 28 May 2019.
