Trial summary

Early pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended after an episode of severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its implementation is challenging particularly as regard exercise training. High flow ventilation in reducing work of breathing and dyspnea may improve exercise tolerance.

About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of High Flow Nasal Support During Exercise in Patients With COPD After Severe Exacerbation

Early pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended after an episode of severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its implementation is challenging particularly as regard exercise training. High flow ventilation in reducing work of breathing and dyspnea may improve exercise tolerance. The aim of this study is to carry out the acute effect of high flow nasal cannula on exercise endurance in post-exacerbation copd patients

What participants receive

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

  • High Flow nasal cannulaDevice

    High intensity Constant Work-Rate exercise test with High Flow Nasal Cannula in COPD patients involved in a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program after an exacerbation (< 7 days after hospital discharge). High Flow nasal will be administered through nasal cannula using the Airvo2 (Fisher\&Paykel)

Study groups in NCT03058081
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
High Flow Nasal TestExperimentalPatients will perform one Constant Work-Rate Exercise Test at 80% of maximum workload with High Flow Nasal at 60L/min (with or without additional oxygen)
Receives: Device: High Flow nasal cannula
Control TestNo interventionPatient will perform one Constant Work-Rate Exercise Test at 80% of maximum workload on room air or with oxygen supplementation

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in exercise capacity

    Difference in endurance time (TLim) during High Intensity Constant Work-Rate Endurence Test (CWRET)

    Measured: The outcome will be measure after every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Difference in peripheral muscle oxygenation

    Muscle oxygenation will be evaluated using Near-infrared spectroscopy technology.

    Measured: The outcome will be measure during every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum. Data will be continuously collected during exercise

  2. Difference in Dyspnea and muscular fatigue

    Difference in dyspnea and muscular fatigue using Modified Borg Scale (0 - 10 points)

    Measured: The outcome will be measure during every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum. Data will be collected every 2 minute during tests and at the end of the exercise

  3. Difference in Oxygen Saturation

    Difference in Oxygen Saturation using a pulse oximetry (SpO2)

    Measured: The outcome will be measure during every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum. Data will be continuously collected during exercise

  4. Difference in Cardiac Frequency

    Difference in Cardiac Frequence using a pulse oximetry

    Measured: The outcome will be measure during every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum. Data will be continuously collected during exercise

  5. Difference in Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide

    Difference Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide using Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide using a Transcutaneous capnography

    Measured: The outcome will be measure during every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum. Data will be continuously collected during exercise

  6. Difference in Respiratory Rate

    Difference in Respiratory Rate using a Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography

    Measured: The outcome will be measure during every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum. Data will be continuously collected during exercise

  7. Difference in Respiratory Muscle Fatigue

    Difference in Respiratory Muscle Fatigue using an electronical manometer

    Measured: The outcome will be measure during every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum. Data will be collected before and 5 minute maximum after exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Flow nasal cannula in people with COPD Exacerbation, run by Groupe Hospitalier du Havre 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 6 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 20 Jun 2018. 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?

Difference in exercise capacity (time frame: The outcome will be measure after every CWRET. The two CWRET will be carried out in different days, separate from 24H minimum for a total time frame of 3 days maximum). 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 NCT03058081, which also lists 2 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 20 Jun 2018.
