About this study

Official title: Oxygen Titration Protocol for Exertion of COPD Patients by an Automated Adjustment Device: a Monocentric, Prospective, Cross-over Study.

The aim of our study is to assess if an automated titration of oxygen flow during exertion can be a useful tool to determinate the level of oxygen required by COPD patients that are using oxygen therapy during exercise.

Read the detailed description

All patients referred to our centre of oxygen titration during exertion will be offered to participate in our study.

After baseline assessments, patients will have an oxygen titration using two different methods in random order:

  • Usual titration protocol will include an manual oxygen increase during a titration 6 minutes walk test
  • Automatic titration protocol that will use the automated oxygen titration device to adjust oxygen flow rate during a titration 6 minutes walk test.

After each titration protocol, the efficacy of the titration will be assessed in 3 validation 6 minutes walk tests during which oxygen flow will be set at:

  • The manually determined flow rate
  • The 95th percentile flow rate of the automatic titration
  • The median flow rate of the automatic titration

During validation 6 minutes walk test, oxygen saturation, dyspnea, walked distance and heart rate will be recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • Free 02Device

    With the manual oxygen titration, the physiotherapist adjust manually the oxygen flow using the FreeO2 device during a titration 6 minutes walk test.

    With the automated adjustment oxygen titration, the flow will be self adjusted by the FreeO2 device during a titration 6 minutes walk test. In that hase, the median flow rate and the 95th flow rate will be evaluated during the validation 6 minutes walk test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time spent in the pulse oxygen saturation target (Sp02) which is 92% +/- 2 during validation 6 minutes walk-test

    The time spent will be retrieved from the oxygen delivery device. it will be expressed in percentage of time of the 6 minutes walk tests and seconds.

    Measured: 6 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time spent with "moderate hypoxemia" (Sp02 <90%), "severe hypoxemia" (Sp02 <85%) or "hyperoxia" (Sp02> 94%).

    The time spent will be retrieved from the oxygen delivery device. it will be expressed in percentage of time of the 6 minutes walk tests and seconds.

    Measured: 6 minutes

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?

Time spent in the pulse oxygen saturation target (Sp02) which is 92% +/- 2 during validation 6 minutes walk-test (time frame: 6 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 NCT04189991, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 15 Nov 2023.
