About this study

Official title: Measuring Lung Mechanics in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Using the Rapid Expiratory Occlusion Method (REOM) Handheld Portable Oscillometer: a Cross-Sectional Study.

The purpose the study is to determine the agreement between the information obtained about lung mechanics (lung function) from the Rapid Expiratory Occlusion Monitor (REOM) handheld portable device with that obtained by conventional oscillometry as well as by pulmonary function testing (PFT), in patients with both 'mild' as well as 'very severe' forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study also intends to study the user experience with this handheld portable device.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this cross-sectional study is to determine the concordance and agreement between the parameters obtained from the REOM, Reo1 and Reo2, and the conventional resistance parameters obtained by the tremoflo oscillometer device (R19 and R5, respectively) in adults with COPD confirmed by diagnostic pulmonary function testing (PFT).

The secondary objectives are:

  1. To investigate the discriminative capacity of the parameters obtained from the REOM to distinguish between 'mild' and 'very severe' COPD.
  2. To collect descriptive information on the participant user experience with the REOM.
  3. To determine concordance between the parameters obtained from the REOM and those obtained from the tremoflo oscillometry device with the 'standard' parameters obtained from each participant's standard Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT).

Hypothesis:

We hypothesize in the adult COPD patient population that the REOM parameter Reo1 and tremoflo device parameter R19 will correlate closely, and that the REOM parameter Reo2 and tremoflo device parameter R5 will correlate closely. We also hypothesize that the REOM, in particular, Reo2, will be able to distinguish between 'mild' and 'very severe' COPD, and that participants will report a positive user experience with the REOM.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
COPD sub-group: GOLD 1 COPDA secondary objective of the study is to investigate the discriminative capacity of the parameters obtained from the REOM to distinguish between 'mild' and 'very severe' COPD. Thus, there will be a 'mild' (GOLD 1) COPD sub-group.
Receives: Device: Rapid Expiratory Occlusion Monitor (REOM); Diagnostic Test: Standard oscillometry; Diagnostic Test: Standard pulmonary function test
COPD sub-group: GOLD 4 COPDA secondary objective of the study is to investigate the discriminative capacity of the parameters obtained from the REOM to distinguish between 'mild' and 'very severe' COPD. Thus, there will be a 'very severe' (GOLD 4) COPD sub-group.
Receives: Device: Rapid Expiratory Occlusion Monitor (REOM); Diagnostic Test: Standard oscillometry; Diagnostic Test: Standard pulmonary function test

What is being measured

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

  1. Concordance (correlation)

    Correlation will be tested using the Spearman correlation coefficient (r) between REOM-obtained (Reo1 and Reo2) and tremoflo-obtained (R19 and R5) resistance measurements.

    Measured: Single-visit study: all tests performed at one single visit.

  2. Agreement

    Agreement will be tested using the Bland-Altman test between REOM-obtained (Reo1 and Reo2) and tremoflo-obtained (R19 and R5) resistance measurements.

    Measured: Single-visit study: all tests performed at one single visit.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Discriminative capacity

    The t-test (between 2 independent means) will be used to determine the discriminative capacity of the REOM to distinguish between 'mild' and 'very severe' COPD.

    Measured: Single-visit study: all tests performed at one single visit.

  2. Participant satisfaction and usability experience

    Each participant will complete a 'participant satisfaction questionnaire' as well as the validated System Usability Scale (SUS) for each test (REOM, standard oscillometry, pulmonary function test). Data will be presented descriptively.

    Measured: Single-visit study: all tests performed at one single visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Copd, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 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 26 Sep 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 Canada. 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?

Concordance (correlation) (time frame: Single-visit study: all tests performed at one single visit.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Sep 2024.
