About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Impact of a Wearable Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation Device on Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Patients With COPD

The objective is to assess the impact of a wearable Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation, on physical activity and quality of life in patients with severe COPD, complaining of dyspnea.

Read the detailed description

In order to avoid the occurrence of uncomfortable dyspnea, patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are locked in a vicious circle of inactivity and social isolation which profoundly affects their quality of life and prognosis. A new wearable non invasive positive pressure ventilation device has been recently proposed; it can be used by intermittence during or after physical activities for reducing dyspnea or for shortening dyspnea- recovery time. The investigators hypothesize that this system, in reducing the inconvenience caused by dyspnea, would stimulate a more active lifestyle and improve quality of life. Their objective is to assess the impact of this device on physical activity and quality of life in patients with severe COPD, complaining of dyspnea.

In this open study with no control group, participants will use the device at their convenience, according to their needs in daily life and for 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of daily physical activity measured by actimetry

    Change of number of steps by day and daily energy expenditure over the 8 week period

    Measured: Continuously over a 8-week period (2 weeks before the use of the device, over the 4-week period usinf the device and 2 weeks after the use of the device

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change of Baseline Dyspnea Index (BDI) score

    The BDI represents importance and impact of dyspnea in daily life of COPD patients. The BDI is one of dyspnea parameters (questionnaire). Three dimension questions include; 1.effect of daily function on dyspnea, 2. effect of magnitude of task on dyspnea and 3. effect of magnitude off effort on dyspnea.

    Measured: baseline and post use of the Vitabreath device at 4th weeks

  2. Change of Modified Medical Research Council Questionnaire (mMRC) score

    The mMRC is one of dyspnea parameters

    Measured: baseline and post use of the Vitabreath device at 4th weeks

  3. Change of Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI)

    The TDI assesses change of dyspnea perception from the BDI in each dimensions. Patient will rate score from -6 to +6 (positive score reflect improve of dyspnea and negative score reflect worse dyspnea).

    Measured: baseline and post use of the Vitabreath device at 4th weeks

  4. Subjective appréciation of the device

    Patients will rate their appreciation of the device using 3 scale relatives to ease of use, helps recovery shortness of breath, helps to be more active in daily life

    Measured: post use of the Vitabreath device at 4th weeks

  5. Change of Visual Simplified Respiratory Questionnaire (VSRQ) score

    The VRSQ represents health related quality of life of COPD patients

    Measured: baseline and post use of the Vitabreath device at 4th weeks

  6. Change of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test (CAT)score

    The CAT represents health related quality of life of COPD patients

    Measured: Continuously over a 8-week period (2 weeks before the use of the device, over the 4-week period usinf the device and 2 weeks after the use of the device

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-Invasive Ventilation in people with Non-Invasive Ventilation, run by Icadom at 7 sites 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 2 inclusion and 10 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 3 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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?

Change of daily physical activity measured by actimetry (time frame: Continuously over a 8-week period (2 weeks before the use of the device, over the 4-week period usinf the device and 2 weeks after the use of the device). 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 3 Oct 2018.
