Trial summary

The aim is to evaluate the correlation between the respiratory control to hypercapnia at rest and the VE/VCO2 slope measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The hypothesis is that patient with univentricular congenital heart disease have a increasing of respiratory drive like chronic heart failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Can Ventilatory Response at Rest Predict Ventilatory Efficacy and Exercise Tolerance in Patients With a Univentricular Congenital Heart Disease?

The aim is to evaluate the correlation between the respiratory control to hypercapnia at rest and the VE/VCO2 slope measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

The hypothesis is that patient with univentricular congenital heart disease have a increasing of respiratory drive like chronic heart failure. This increasing of respiratory drive could participate in the increasing of VE/VCO2 slope measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing and in the genese of central apnea index during the sleep.

Read the detailed description

The patients with univentricular congenital heart disease will perform :

  • a cardiopulmonary exercise testing with measure VE/VCO2 slope,
  • a measure of the respiratory drive to hypercapnia with occlusion pressure during the rebreathing with at rest (P0,1/PetCO2).
  • A polysomnography with a scoring of central apnea index. Correlation will be evaluate between P 0,1/PetCO2 with VE/VCO2 slope and between P0,1/PetCO2 central apnea index.

What participants receive

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

  • polysomnographyProcedure or surgery

    Sleep examination strictly non-invasive with skin sensors. This exploration would allow for the detection of respiratory sleep disorders and consider of appropriate management for patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pearson correlation - The measure the respiratory drive to hypercapnia with P0.1 during the rebreathing technique at rest

    between the measure the respiratory drive to hypercapnia with P0.1 during the rebreathing technique at rest

    • between VE/VCO2 slope during a cardiopulmonary exercise

    Measured: day 90 after inclusion visit (visit 2)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pearson correlation

    • between the measure of the respiratory drive to hypercapnia with P0.1, the rebreathing technique at rest and Central apnea index scored with a polysomnography during a night
    • between the measure of the respiratory drive to hypercapnia with P0.1, the rebreathing technique at rest and NYHA, New York Heart Association Functional Classification
    • between the measure of the respiratory drive to hypercapnia with P0.1, the rebreathing technique at rest and the quality of life evaluated by questionary
    • between the measure of the respiratory drive to hypercapnia with P0.1, the rebreathing technique at rest and data of cardiac echography

    Measured: day 90 after inclusion visit (visit 2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing polysomnography in people with Univentricular Heart and Children, Adult, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 4 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Pearson correlation - The measure the respiratory drive to hypercapnia with P0.1 during the rebreathing technique at rest (time frame: day 90 after inclusion visit (visit 2)). 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 4 Jan 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
