About this study

Official title: Can Nasal High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Improve Oxygenation During Exercise, Optimizing Benefits of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) With Exercise Desaturation?

Objectives: 1.- To compare the level of oxygenation achieved during muscular training with conventional oxygen systems (nasal cannulas) versus nasal High-flow oxygen therapy. 2.-To compare benefits achieved with both systems, in terms of: level of exercise during training; effort tolerance in the 6 minutes walking test (6MWT); improvement of dyspnoea and Health-related quality of life (HRQoL). And analyse the effects of nasal High-flow oxygen therapy on the acute exercise in a subgroup of patients.

Method: Multicentric randomized clinical trial. Patients with ILD in fibrotic phase who present oxygen desaturation during 6MWT (SpO2 mean ≤ 85%) will be included consecutively. Will be randomized in two groups: ILD patients with conventional oxygen (EPIDOC) and ILD patients with nasal High-Flow oxygen therapy (EPIDOAF). Both groups will perform a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. Oxygen will be titrated respectively to flow and FiO2 needed to maintain SpO2 ≥ 90% during training with both systems. Evaluation measures: SpO2 during training in both groups; dyspnoea (mMRC scale and CRQ dyspnoea); exercise capacity (6MWT) and HRQoL (self- administered KBILD questionnaire and SF36). In a subgroup of patients will be compared time of endurance exercise to evaluate the effects of nasal high-flow oxygen therapy in the acute exercise.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of Sat O2 achived (in %) by conventional O2 vs nasal high flow oxygen during Pulmonary Rehabilitation

    To compare the level of oxygenation (in SatO2 %) achieved by conventional oxygen therapy and nasal high flow oxygen therapy during muscular training program in patients with ILD measured by pulseoxymetry.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Dyspnoea (benefits in borg scale) DURING effort.

    To compare the benefits in dyspnoea achieved by both systems in terms of Effort level during the training period measured by Borg Scale.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Effort capacity (Benefits in terms of meters walked in the 6mwt).

    To compare the benefits achieved by both systems in terms of Effort tolerance after PR program, evaluated with the 6 minut waking test (6WT), in meters.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Basal dyspnoea (mesured by mMRC scale).

    To compare the benefits achieved by both systems in terms of Improvement in basal dyspnea measured by mMRC scale.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Basal dyspnoea (mesured by the dyspnoea area of CRQ questionnaire).

    To compare the benefits achieved by both systems in terms of Improvement in basal dyspnea measured by the dyspnoea area of CRQ questionnaire.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Quality of life (SF36 questionnaire).

    To compare the benefits achieved by both systems in terms of Improvement in HRQoL (with SF36 questionnarire).

    Measured: 8 weeks

  6. Quality of life (KBILD questionnaire).

    To compare the benefits achieved by both systems in terms of Improvement in HRQoL (with KBILD questionnaire).

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing oxygen therapy in people with Intersticial Lung Disease, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 19 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Level of Sat O2 achived (in %) by conventional O2 vs nasal high flow oxygen during Pulmonary Rehabilitation (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 19 Sep 2017.
