Trial summary

The Investigators want to examine patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 for the phenomenon "Silent Hypoxia", which is clinically significant hypoxia without corresponding degree of dyspnea. The patient population is infected individuals without any serious symptoms and is at home. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Silent Hypoxia and Awake Proning in COVID-19 Patients: Home Monitoring and Self-Reporting

The Investigators want to examine patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 for the phenomenon "Silent Hypoxia", which is clinically significant hypoxia without corresponding degree of dyspnea. The patient population is infected individuals without any serious symptoms and is at home. The participants will be equipped with a pulse oximeter and a PEF-measurement device. Four times daily the participants will register saturation, degree of dyspnea and PEF. If the participants experience desaturation or increasing dyspnea, physiotherapy is to be performed, and if that doesn't relieve symptoms or increase oxygen saturation, the hospital should be contacted for admission. The first part of this study is a feasibility study, and if found feasible, the investigators will expand the study to more participants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients who manage to perform daily measurements of SpO2

    Measured: January 30, 2021

  2. Incidence rate of silent hypoxia in non-hospitalized COVID-19

    Measured: January 30, 2021

  3. Association between silent hypoxia and other subjective and objective measurements of disease severity

    Measured: January 30, 2021

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Effect of a self-managed physiotherapy program on alleviating hypoxia

    Measured: January 30, 2021

  2. Rate of persistent silent hypoxia episode per patients

    Measured: January 30, 2021

  3. Rate of silent hypoxia episode per patients

    Measured: January 30, 2021

  4. Rate of hospital admission and ICU admission

    Measured: January 30, 2021

  5. Incidence of thromboembolic event in outpatients diagnosed with COVID-19

    Measured: January 30, 2021

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Self measurement with pulse oximeter in people with Covid19 and Hypoxemia, run by Ostfold Hospital Trust at 1 site in Norway.

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 3 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 18 Mar 2024. 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 Norway. 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?

Number of patients who manage to perform daily measurements of SpO2 (time frame: January 30, 2021). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04647747, 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 18 Mar 2024.
