About this study

Official title: Effect of High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation Vests on Spirometry Measurements, Comparative Study

The impact of high-frequency chest wall oscillation therapy on spirometry values (Forced Expiratory Volume, Forced Vital Capacity, Peak Expiratory Flow, Forced Expiratory Flow and Tidal Volume is investigated during use of several products and comparing to baseline values

Read the detailed description

The study will be broken into one (1) arm:

  • AffloVest® \& Monarch™

Within the arm, the order of products will be randomized.

Baseline spirometry (Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF25-75%) and Tidal Volume (TV)) will be taken at the beginning, middle and end of each series of measurements with each subject, without any device on the subject. A product (AffloVest or Monarch) will be placed onto subject and turned ON to the highest frequency and intensity settings. Then the subject will be given a certain period of time to adjust and spirometry measurements will then be repeated, then the product will be removed and the subject will be allowed a recovery period, then the other product will be placed on the subject, turned ON and spirometry measurements will repeated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tidal Volume (TV) Assessed in Participants at Baseline and With Both Devices

    Tidal Volume is the normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation, measured using standard sprirometry techniques

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) Assessed in Participants at Baseline and With Both Devices

    Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) measures the peak flow during a forced exhalation, measured using standard spirometry techniques

    Measured: 30 minutes

  3. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Assessed in Participants at Baseline and With Both Devices

    Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test, measured using standard spirometry techniques

    Measured: 30 minutes

  4. Forced Expiratory Volume (1 Second) Assessed in Participants at Baseline and With Both Devices

    Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) measures how much air a person can exhale during a forced breath during the first one (1) second, measured using standard spirometry techniques

    Measured: 30 minutes

  5. Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF25-75%) Assessed in Participants at Baseline and With Both Devices

    Forced Expiratory Flow (25-75%) is the average flow from the point at which 25% of the FVC has been exhaled to the point at which 75% of the FVC has been exhaled, measured using standard spirometry techniques

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing International Biophysics AffloVest and Hill-Rom Monarch in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis, run by International Biophysics Corporation at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 9 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 22 Nov 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Nov 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Tidal Volume (TV) Assessed in Participants at Baseline and With Both Devices (time frame: 30 minutes). The study lists 5 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 22 Nov 2019.
