About this study

Monocenter study to determine and evaluate the optimal amount of humidification doses delivered by the On-Demand humidification system in neuromuscular patients requiring home mechanical ventilation. The patient's perception will be monitored with subjective as well as with objective measurements of the optimum comfortable on-demand humidification doses.

What participants receive

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

  • On Demand Humidification system Mark 2Device

    The on demand humidification humidifier is set up to alternate between periods of humidification and no humidification totaling 6 periods of 30 minutes duration each. Thus, the test will consist of 3 cycles of disabled humidification and enabled humidification. Each cycle will be with a different humidification setting to assess which setting is most comfortable. In the second phase, the patient will be treated with the dose they had the best experience with in the first test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing On Demand Humidification system Mark 2 in people with Neuromuscular Diseases, run by Philips Clinical & Medical Affairs Global at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 9 inclusion and 7 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 10 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 1 site in Netherlands. 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?

optimum comfortable amount of on-demand humidification (time frame: 3 hours). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Oct 2018.
