Trial summary

In this project, the investigators aim to assess changes of physiological parameters obtained non-invasively through PPG and accelerometry signals between before and during LTOT (long-term oxygen therapy) and investigate if those changes are different in patients with worsening frailty and/or improving quality of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Observing Physiological Changes in Patients With Long-term Oxygen Therapy Via Optical and Accelerometry Signals

In this project, the investigators aim to assess changes of physiological parameters obtained non-invasively through PPG and accelerometry signals between before and during LTOT (long-term oxygen therapy) and investigate if those changes are different in patients with worsening frailty and/or improving quality of life.

For this, they will record optical (PPG) and accelerometry data via a datalogger on 40 patients undergoing LTOT and assess the PPG-derived physiological signals.

LTOT

What participants receive

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

  • LTOTOther

    Patients with newly prescribed LTOT will be monitored for physiological changes

What is being measured

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

  1. Heart rate changes from before and during LTOT

    Record heart rate (BPM) to compare before and during LTOT

    Measured: From 1 week before start of LTOT to 1 month after start of LTOT

  2. Respiratory rate changes from before and during LTOT

    Record respiratory rate (breaths per minute) to compare before and during LTOT

    Measured: From 1 week before start of LTOT to 1 month after start of LTOT

  3. SpO2 changes from before and during LTOT

    Record SpO2 (%) to compare before and during LTOT

    Measured: From 1 week before start of LTOT to 1 month after start of LTOT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Respiratory Disease, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 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 Switzerland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sabina Guler, PD Dr. med. (+41 31 66 4 48 92, sabina.guler@insel.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Heart rate changes from before and during LTOT (time frame: From 1 week before start of LTOT to 1 month after start of LTOT). 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?
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 Jul 2024.
