Trial summary

The goal of this observational study is to identify the variables that predict treatment failure in order to identify the patients in which HFNC treatment may fail and not delay the transition to advanced respiratory support treatments in these patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Determination of the Factors Causing Treatment Failure in Children Receiving Oxygen Therapy With High-flow Nasal Cannula Due to Moderate and Severe Respiratory Distress

The goal of this observational study is to identify the variables that predict treatment failure in order to identify the patients in which HFNC treatment may fail and not delay the transition to advanced respiratory support treatments in these patients.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • What factors contribute to the failure of HFNC treatment in these children?
  • What is the frequency of HFNC treatment failure in children with moderate and severe respiratory distress? Researchers will compare the group whose HFNC treatment was successful with the group whose HFNC treatment failed to identify factors that cause treatment failure.
Read the detailed description

Oxygen therapy with a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a well-tolerated, relatively new, non-invasive alternative ventilation treatment modality. On the other hand, HFNC failure delays advanced respirator supportive treatments, prolongs hospitalization in the intensive care unit, and emergency department, and causes a significant increase in morbidity and mortality with hypoxemia, neurological impairment, and/or hemodynamic instability. The investigators aimed to identify the variables that predict treatment failure in order to identify the patients in which HFNC treatment may fail and not delay the transition to advanced respiratory support treatments in these patients.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06146439
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SuccessfulPatients who do not need advanced respiratory support treatments (invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation)
FailurePatients who need advanced respiratory support treatments (invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation)

What is being measured

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

  1. HFNC treatment outcome (failure or success)

    Whether advanced respiratory support treatments (invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation) are needed

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of High-flow Nasal Cannula and Respiratory Distress, run by Dr. Behcet Uz Children's Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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 29 Nov 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

HFNC treatment outcome (failure or success) (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT06146439, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 29 Nov 2023.
