About this study

Official title: High-flow Oxygen Therapy During Exercise in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: a Crossover Clinical Trial

Objectives:

  1. To evaluate endurance time during cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) performance comparing standard oxygen therapy to high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with exertional desaturation.
  2. To assess oxygenation level (peripheral and muscular) as well as dyspnea and fatigue during exercise in IPF subjects with exertional desaturation using oxygen supplementation with HFNC compared with standard oxygen supplementation.

Method: multicenter crossover clinical trial. Patients with IPF presenting oxygen desaturation during the six-minute walking test (6MWT) (SpO2 mean ≤ 85%) will be included consecutively . Each subject evaluated will perform initially an incremental CPET to evaluate the patient's maximum exercise capacity. Supplemental oxygen will be applied to maintain SpO2 >85% with a Venturi mask. Maximum exercise capacity and the appropriate final oxygen inspiratory fraction (FiO2) needed for the following tests will be determined.

Posteriorly each patient will perform two constant load CPET (at 75% of the maximum workload achieved with the incremental CPET); one with standard oxygen therapy and the other one with HFNC oxygen therapy. Endurance time, dyspnea and leg fatigue and oxygen saturation (peripheral and muscular) will be recorded.

Evaluation measures: Endurance time, dyspnea and leg fatigue (Borg scale), and oxygen saturation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endurance time

    Endurance time (s) during the constant load CPET performance with standard oxygen therapy compared to HFNC oxygen therapy

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 week

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Dyspnea and fatigue

    Dyspnea and fatigue (Borg scale) at the end of the constant load CPET with standard oxygen therapy compared to HFNC oxygen therapy

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 week

  2. Oxygen saturation

    Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) during the constant load CPET with standard oxygen therapy compared to HFNC oxygen therapy

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 week

  3. Muscle oxygen saturation (StO2)

    Muscle oxygen saturation (StO2) during the constant load CPET with standard oxygen therapy compared to HFNC oxygen therapy

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxygen in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Parc de Salut Mar at 1 site in Spain.

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 5 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 13 Aug 2021. 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 Spain. 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?

Endurance time (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 week). 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 13 Aug 2021.
