About this study

This study is meant to compare the amount of oxygen required for hypoxemia relief between current standard of care (oxygen only) and oxygen with the addition of high flow air for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), and Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) patients during rest. Subjects will be titrated from 0 L/min until they maintain 95% SpO2 for each of the following delivery methods:

  1. Pulses of pure oxygen (control)
  2. Constant high flow air with pulses of pure oxygen
  3. Out of phase pulses of high flow air and pure oxygen
Read the detailed description

Each participant will require (1) visit, which will last approximately 4-5 hours.

At start of visit:

  1. Vitals are taken (temperature, heart rate, SpO2, respiration rate, blood pressure, Borg dyspnea score, Mmrc score) while participant is seated and using their normal oxygen prescription.
  2. Patient will remain seated during the following procedure with SpO2 and heart rate continuously being monitored.

Pulsed Oxygen Control at Rest:

  1. Participant's oxygen will be turned off for 10 minutes as a washout period.
  2. Using the oxygen tank with the pulse regulator, the participant will be titrated to a pulse rate that maintains their SpO2 at an average of 95%.
  3. Increasing volumes of oxygen in 1 L(liter)/min increments every thirty seconds until an average of 95% SpO2 is maintained for 30 seconds.
  4. Once the participant is titrated to the correct amount of oxygen, they will remain on the oxygen for an additional 3 minutes
  5. Final oxygen flow rate, SpO2, Heart Rate, and Borg Dyspnea Score will be recorded in the last minute of the test. Mixed Continuous Air/Oxygen Efficacy at Rest:
  6. Participant's oxygen will be turned off for 10 minutes as a washout period.
  7. The participant will be delivered pulsed oxygen and high flow ambient air using the oxygen tank with the pulse regulator and Vapotherm setup, the participant will be titrated to a pulse rate that maintains their SpO2 at an average of 95%.
  8. High flow ambient air will be set to 15 L/min
  9. Increasing volumes of oxygen from in 1 L/min increments every thirty seconds until an average of 95% SpO2 is maintained for 30 seconds.
  10. Once the participant is titrated the correct amount of oxygen, they will remain on the oxygen for an additional 3 minutes.
  11. Final oxygen flow rate, SpO2, Heart Rate, and Borg Dyspnea Score will be recorded in the last minute of the test.
  12. Steps 5-8 are then repeated two more times for pulsed oxygen plus continuous flow ambient air at flow rates of 20 and 25 L/min. Mixed Pulsed Air/Oxygen Efficacy at Rest:
  13. Participant's oxygen will be turned off for 10 minutes as a washout period
  14. The participant will be delivered the out-of-phase pulsed oxygen and high flow ambient air using the oxygen tank with the pulse regulator and Vapotherm setup, the participant will be titrated to a pulse rate that maintains their SpO2 at an average of 95%
  15. High flow ambient air will be set to 15 L/min
  16. Increasing volumes of oxygen from in 1L/min increments every thirty seconds until an average of 95% SpO2 is maintained for 30 seconds.
  17. Once the participant is titrated the correct amount of oxygen, they will remain on the oxygen for an additional 3 minutes
  18. Final oxygen flow rate, SpO2, Heart Rate, and Borg Dyspnea Score will be recorded in the last minute of the test.
  19. Steps 10-13 are then repeated two more times for out-of phase pulsed oxygen plus pulsed high flow ambient air at flow rates of 20 and 25 L/min.

What participants receive

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

  • Nasal Delivery of High-Flow Air and Oxygen TherapyDevice

    They will receive high-flow air and oxygen via a dual lumen nasal cannula at rest. Participants will be administered the high-flow air and then titrated with oxygen from 0 L/min until they reach and maintain a SpO2 level of 95% for 30 seconds. They will then remain on this setting for 3 additional minutes with continuous monitoring of SpO2 levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness of partial replacement of concentrated oxygen by high flow ambient air for Long Term Oxygen Therapy

    This will be assessed using the difference between the oxygen delivery systems (pure oxygen and mixed high-flow air with oxygen) in the L/min flow of oxygen required for a participant to reach steady state at greater than or equal to 95% pulse oxygenation.

    Measured: up to 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dyspnea relief achieved with of partial replacement of concentrated oxygen by high flow ambient air for Long Term Oxygen Therapy

    This will be assessed using the difference in relative dyspnea score evaluated with the Borg Dyspnea scale at the end of each delivery method. The Borg scale ranges from 0-10. Min: 0 (No dyspnea), Max: 10 (Very,Very Severe dyspnea).

    Measured: Approximately 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal Delivery of High-Flow Air and Oxygen Therapy and Nasal Delivery of Oxygen Therapy in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive and Lung Diseases, Interstitial, run by Johns Hopkins University at 2 sites 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 9 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 24 Dec 2024. 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 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?

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?

Effectiveness of partial replacement of concentrated oxygen by high flow ambient air for Long Term Oxygen Therapy (time frame: up to 20 minutes). 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 2024.
