About this study

Official title: The Influence of Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Oxygen Saturation of Patients With COPD and IPF During Six Minute Walk Test.

Our objective is to evaluate the influence of inhaled NO on the saturation and exercise capacity of patients with COPD and IPF. each participant will undergo two six minute walk tests, one with inhaled NO and the other with placebo.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomiized, placebo controlled trail that will evaluate the influence of inhaled NO (INO) on the saturation and exercise capacity of patients with COPD and IPF. All patients will sign a consent form before enrolment. Each patient will undergo two six-minute walk tests. Whether the INO will be used in the first or the second trial will be determined by computer generated randomization with random numbers sealed in opaque envelops. For the placebo 6-minute test we will use placebo cartridges in the INO generator, for INO 6-minute test we will use NO cartridges. The treatment with INO or placebo will start 20 minutes before the 6-minute walk test and will end at the end of the 6-minute walk test. Between tests a time interval of at least 60 minutes will be kept. During the test, the patients' pulse and saturation level will be monitored with a pulse oximetry. The data will be recorded continuously from baseline to 5 minutes after the test is over. The distance the patient walked will also be recorded. Patients that require supplemental oxygen will perform the tests with oxygen supplementation.

Dosing The NO dosing will be fixed. The first 10 patients will be treated with INO at a dose of 45 parts per million (ppm) per kilogram (kg). from patient 10 to 20 a dose of 75 ppm per kg will be given and from patient 20-100 a dose of 115 ppm per kg will be given.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Inhaled nitric oxide in people with COPD and IPF, run by Rabin Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 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 Israel. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Barak Pertzov, MD (972548080196, pertzovb@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Saturation level during the test (time frame: 26 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03873298, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Dec 2019.
