Trial summary

Transcutaneous capnography (PtcCo2) recently showed good agreement with blood gases to assess hypercapnia. There is no study that has evaluated the benefit to realise systematically a nocturnal PtcCo2 in the follow-up of home-ventilated patient with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS).

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The pneumology department at Nantes University Hospital follows approximately 400 patients treated by non-invasive ventilation, 250 of whom have SOH The investigators plan to include 150 patients in the active patient line followed at Nantes University Hospital, which will make it possible to obtain the number of patients necessary to obtain satisfactory power while taking into account the fact that a certain number of transcutaneous capnographies will not be conclusive.

Who may be able to join

  • Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrom defined by a diurnal PaCo2> 45 mmHg, in stable conditions, in a patient presenting an obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m²)
  • treated by non invasive ventilation since at least 3 weeks, and seen in follow-up consultation

Who cannot join

  • minors
  • refusal to participate
  • under guardianship or trusteeship
  • pregnant woman
  • other etiology of hypoventilation : copd, kyphoscoliosis, neuromuscular disorders, diaphragmatic pathology

About this study

Transcutaneous capnography (PtcCo2) recently showed good agreement with blood gases to assess hypercapnia. There is no study that has evaluated the benefit to realise systematically a nocturnal PtcCo2 in the follow-up of home-ventilated patient with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). The investigators will evaluate the intake bring by nocturnal transcutaneous capnography, compared to nocturnal oximetry and blood gases, to diagnose nocturnal alveolar hypoventilation in a population of patient presenting an OHS, treated by non invasive ventilation (NIV) at home .

Read the detailed description

Patients will be evaluated once a year in consultation with a blood gases, and then a nocturnal recording at home including a transcutaneous capnography and an oximetry.

Some data will be registered too : cardiovascular and neurological comorbidities, diabetes mellitus, treatment, parameters of the non-invasive ventilation, duration of compliance and apnea-hypopnea index (if available).

The investigators will perform a sequential analysis of nocturnal hypoventilation with first blood gases, then nocturnal oxymetry and to finish nocturnal PtcCo2. It will allow us to determine if PtcCo2 catch up some nocturnal hypoventilation, undetected by the first two exams.

The investigators plan that the study will last 18 months. The analysis will be descriptive. Quantitative variables will be described with mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum and median. Quantitative variables are presented with number and percentage.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome, run by Nantes University Hospital 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 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 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?

nocturnal hypoventilation (time frame: Until 37 days). 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 24 Dec 2020.
