Trial summary

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an established therapy that delivers positive pressure to the upper airways to provide respiratory support. Two types of NIV can be delivered; continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) at one continuous pressure and bilevel NIV at two pressures for inhalation and exhalation. Read more about this study

About this study

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an established therapy that delivers positive pressure to the upper airways to provide respiratory support. Two types of NIV can be delivered; continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) at one continuous pressure and bilevel NIV at two pressures for inhalation and exhalation.

This investigation is designed to physiologically evaluate the performance of a NIV mask, Mask A, compared to a standard NIV mask, Mask B on CPAP therapy.

People with sleep disordered breathing who have chronic hypercapnia, and are already receiving nocturnal CPAP will be recruited. They will receive one night's CPAP therapy on Mask A and 1 night on Mask B in random order. Physiological parameters will be recorded.

Parameters will be recorded during three baselines at the beginning of each evening and throughout the night when participants are asleep. The three baselines are:

  1. participant awake with normal breathing (not on CPAP),
  2. participant awake and on CPAP, and
  3. participant asleep on CPAP in REM-sleep (rapid eye movement sleep).
Being tested
CPAP with Mask A, CPAP with Mask B

What is being measured

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

  1. Transcutaneous carbon dioxide

    The change in transcutaneous carbon dioxide from the 3 different baselines to the transcutaneous carbon dioxide during non-REM sleep on CPAP on the same study night. Three different values will be determined for each mask.

    Measured: 1 day (From baseline to the end of the study night)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP with Mask A and CPAP with Mask B in people with Sleep-disordered Breathing and Hypercapnia, run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 1 site in New Zealand.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 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 New Zealand. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Extremely slow recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (time frame: 1 day (From baseline to the end of the study night)). 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 12 Jul 2023.
