About this study

Official title: Implementation of Data From Pulmonary Function Tests Supervising a Session of Respiratory Physiotherapy of Cystic Fibrosis Children in the VirtualChest Model

"The usefulness of respiratory physiotherapy and its execution modalities remains highly debated even though reviews of the literature show that respiratory physiotherapy is able to improve the drainage of bronchial secretions and pulmonary function tests during cystic fibrosis in periods of stability. Different physiotherapy techniques have been developed but the choice of one or the other facing a patient can not currently be recommended. The VirtualChest project, supported by a grant from the National Agency for Research (ANR), aims to develop and validate a physical model of respiratory physiotherapy (6 stages including model establishment pulmonary: bronchial tree and pulmonary mechanics and parietal [steps 1 and 3], a model of mucus [step 2] and modeling the effect of physiotherapy [step 5]). This project is integrated with stages 3 and 5 of this broad project and aims to get on a limited number of children with cystic fibrosis a proof of concept (prediction of drainage efficiency) and especially to feed the proposed physical models in order to subsequent optimization of the model (step 6). The choice cystic fibrosis of the child was justified by the effect demonstrated respiratory physiotherapy, particularly on respiratory functional criteria, and the fact that the parietal mechanics varies physiologically at this age."

Read the detailed description

"The clinical study will consist in carrying out, before and after hospital respiratory physiotherapy, a measure impedance of the respiratory system by forced oscillations (IOS, impulsometry: measurement during tidal breathing) and a measurement anatomical dead space (duration of the two measurements: 10 minutes). The physiotherapist will make an initial diagnosis (degree of bronchial obstruction), fill a form describing the modalities of the physiotherapy session (methods used) and will evaluate the sputum volume got. On a limited number of children (n = 6), expiratory flow will be measured during the session of physiotherapy ; these measures will be carried out in hypersecreting children able to support a face mask during the session and having had or before have a chest CT scan within 6 months. The objective is to establish a correlation between sputum volume and the degree of improvement of functional respiratory parameters, to establish criteria of central and / or peripheral effect of physiotherapy (""simple"" modeling obtained from measurements impedance of the respiratory system) and to obtain the flow rates necessary and sufficient to mobilize bronchial secretions. The data from this phase will allow to fuel the ""complex"" physical model (distribution mucus in the airways). Moreover, for each of the patients will be recovered the possible scanner performed within ± 6 months of the physiotherapy session which will allow the extraction of the morphology of the airways of the patient. The goal is to get in at least 6 patients a specific morphology of the airways and determine if this morphology implementation allows to improve the model compared to the use of generic modeling or airway tree. A total of 30 elderly Cystic Fibrosis children at least 4 years will be prospectively included."

What is being measured

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

  1. Impedance measurements will be obtained before and after chest physiotherapy using the Impulse Oscillometry System.

    Impedance of the respiratory system: Z5Hz, Z10Hz, Z20Hz, Z35Hz, R5Hz (respiratory system resistance), X5Hz (respiratory system reactance), R5-20Hz (difference R5 - R20Hz)

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing chest physiotherapy in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 1 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 3 Feb 2023. 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?

Impedance measurements will be obtained before and after chest physiotherapy using the Impulse Oscillometry System. (time frame: 2 hours). 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 NCT04094441, 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 3 Feb 2023.
