About this study

Official title: Comparison of 3-Minute Step Test (3MStepT) and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

The aim of this study is to compare oxygen desaturation during two tests: the 6 minute walk test and the 3 minute step test, for COPD patients.

Read the detailed description

The 6 minute walk test (6MWT) is the best field test to determine oxygen desaturation during effort, in COPD patients. However, the test need a 30m corridor.

The 3 minute step test (3MST) is a other field test used in COPD patients. But no study shows that 3MST can be used to determine oxygen desaturation.

The aim of this study is to compare oxygen desaturation during these to tests : the 6MWT and the 3MST.

50 patients will be included in this study.

Patients realize two 6MWT and two 3MST, with rest between each test.

Oxygen saturation, heart rate are registered during the tests, dyspnea, leg peniblility are notified before and after each test, distance or number of steps are noted.

What is being measured

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

  1. oxygen saturation

    oxygen saturation is compared between 6MWT and 3MST at the end of the 2 tests

    Measured: 3 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. heart rate

    heart rate is compared between 6MWT and 3MST at the end of the 2 tests

    Measured: 3 minutes

  2. dyspnea (Borg Scale)

    dyspnea (Borg Scale) is compared between 6MWT and 3MST at the end of the 2 tests

    Measured: 3 minutes

  3. leg penibility (Borg Scale)

    leg penibility (Borg Scale) is compared between 6MWT and 3MST at the end of the 2 tests

    Measured: 3 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COPD and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier des Pays de Morlaix 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 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 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?

oxygen saturation (time frame: 3 minutes). 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 NCT02873780, which also lists 3 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 31 Jan 2017.
