About this study

Official title: Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Under Different Oxygen Concentration Using High-flow Nasal Cannula

The purpose of this study is to compare the exercise capacity between high SpO2 (Minimum SpO2 94-96%) value during pulmonary rehabilitation and low SpO2 (Minimum SpO2 84-86%) value during pulmonary rehabilitation for the patients with chronic respiratory failure receiving long-term oxygen therapy.

Read the detailed description

In patients with chronic respiratory failure, pulmonary rehabilitation is recognized as an evidence-based treatment in improving exercise capacity, muscle strength, dyspnea, and quality of life. However, optimal SpO2 value during pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic respiratory failure receiving long-term oxygen therapy is unclear.

The present study is randomized to compare the effect of exercise capacity between high SpO2 (Minimum SpO2 94-96%) value during pulmonary rehabilitation and low SpO2 (Minimum SpO2 84-86%) value during pulmonary rehabilitation for the patients with chronic respiratory failure receiving long-term oxygen therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • High-flow nasal cannulaOther

    The nasal high flow therapy has enabled high flow oxygen to be derived through nasal cannula. This mode not only allows constant FiO2 during peak inspiratory flow but also confers benefits including a low level of continuous positive airway pressure with increased end-expiratory lung volume and reduced work of breathing, partly through intrinsic positive end-expiration pressure compensation and dead space washout. The inspired gases are warmed and humidified, improving comfort and possibly reducing airway inflammation, leading to improved drainage of respiratory secretions.

  • Low SpO2Other

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in the six-minutes walking distance prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change in the six-minutes walking test (lowest SpO2 value etc.) prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

  2. Change in the constant-load exercise test (duration time etc.) prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

  3. Change in the incremental-exercise test (Maximum load value etc.) prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

  4. Change in the body composition measured by InBody (muscle mass et.) prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

  5. Change in the arterial blood gas (PaO2 value etc.) prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

  6. Change in the inflammation marker (CRP etc.) prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

  7. Change in the nutritional status (body mass index(kg/m2) et.) prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

  8. Change in the sympathetic activity (Plasma catecholamine et.) prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation

    Measured: four weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High-flow nasal cannula and Low SpO2 in people with High-flow Nasal Cannula and Exercise Capacity, run by National Hospital Organization Minami Kyoto Hospital at 1 site in Japan.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 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 Japan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yuichi Chihara (81-774-52-0065, yc.r03107@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in the six-minutes walking distance prior to and following 4 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation (time frame: four weeks). 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 28 Mar 2023.
