About this study

Official title: Effects of an Oxymizer Pendant Cannula Versus a Conventional Nasal Cannula During Endurance Shuttle Walk Test (ESWT) in Hypoxemic Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an Oxymizer pendant nasal cannula in hypoxemic patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis during walking.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be recruited during an inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program. They will perform three shuttle walk tests on three consecutive days (see below). While performing those tests, the patient's prescribed oxygen flow rate is applicated either through the conventional nasal cannula (CNC) or the Oxymizer.On the first day, patients perform an incremental shuttle walk test to determine maximum walking speed using a conventional nasal cannula.

On two consecutive days, patients will perform two endurance shuttle walk tests at 85% of the maximum incremental shuttle walk test speed. Supplemental oxygen will be provided via nasal cannula at the prescribed oxygen flow rate. Patients will be randomly assigned to perform one test with the Oxymizer and the other one with a conventional nasal cannula.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endurance shuttle walk test distance

    Distance patients walk during an endurance shuttle walk test

    Measured: at baseline, at isotime of endurance shuttle walk test and at the end (maximum 20 min) of endurance shuttle walk test

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. oxygen saturation

    measured by Sentec Digital Monitoring System

    Measured: at baseline, at isotime of endurance shuttle walk test and at the end (maximum 20 min) of endurance shuttle walk test

  2. heart rate

    measured by Sentec Digital Monitoring System

    Measured: at baseline, at isotime of endurance shuttle walk test and at the end (maximum 20 min) of endurance shuttle walk test

  3. breathing frequency

    measured by NoxT3 device

    Measured: at baseline, at isotime of endurance shuttle walk test and at the end (maximal 20 min) of endurance shuttle walk test

  4. carbon dioxide pressure

    transcutaneously carbon dioxide pressure measured by Sentec Digital Monitoring System

    Measured: at baseline, at isotime of endurance shuttle walk test and at the end (maximum 20 min) of endurance shuttle walk test

  5. time to desaturation

    time (seconds) is measured until oxygen saturation drops below 90% or 85 % respectively

    Measured: From beginning of endurance shuttle walk test until the oxygen saturation reaches defined thresholds, or ESWT reaches maximum time frame of 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxymizer® pendant nasal cannula and conventional nasal cannula in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Hypoxemia, run by Klaus Kenn at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 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 16 Apr 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

Endurance shuttle walk test distance (time frame: at baseline, at isotime of endurance shuttle walk test and at the end (maximum 20 min) of endurance shuttle walk test). 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 16 Apr 2020.
