About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether correction of low nighttime oxygen (O2) levels and/ or high carbon dioxide levels in patients with cystic fibrosis improves their quality of life. The treatments being used overnight are (1)O2 (2)pressurised air which assists breathing (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, NIPPV)

Read the detailed description

Cystic fibrosis is the commonest life-limiting genetic disorder in the Caucasian population with a median survival of 31 years. Lung disease is responsible for the majority of morbidity and mortality and correlates with declining quality of life. Respiratory failure is the primary cause of death. Daytime respiratory failure (hypoxia with pO2<55 and/or hypercapnia with pCO2>50) is associated with a worse prognosis with a 2-year survival of 50%. Nocturnal respiratory failure (greater than 5% of the night spent with SpO2<90% and/or rise in PtcCO2>10mmHg overnight) is a precursor to the development of daytime respiratory failure. It has been postulated that earlier treatment of respiratory failure may improve outcome and quality of life.

Intervention: Nocturnal O2 and bilevel NIPPV in CF patients with nocturnal respiratory failure, compared to nocturnal placebo (air). Crossover trial utilising patients as their own control.

Aims: (1) To assess the effects of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and oxygen (O2) therapy on quality of life, hospital admission rate, sleep quality and exercise tolerance in CF patients with NRF (2) To identify a level of severity of NRF where treatment with NIV is effective

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of life questionnaires:

  2. CFQoL questionnaire (Gee,Thorax,2000)(a priori chest, physical function, treatment, emotion domains)

  3. Epworth Sleepiness Scale

  4. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

  5. CF Subjective Symptoms Sleep disturbance Questionnaire (CSQ-in house)

  6. Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale

  7. Baseline Dyspnea Index, Transitional Dyspnea Index

  8. Work or Study status

  9. Physiological:

  10. Nocturnal SpO2, nocturnal rise in transcutaneous CO2

  11. Daytime arterial blood gases (PaCO2, PaO2)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Admission rate

  2. Lung function tests (FEV1, FVC, RV/ TLC)

  3. Modified CF shuttle walk test

  4. Neurocognitive testing (psychomotor vigilance task, Stroop, Controlled Oral Word Association Test, Trails A and B, digit recall forwards backwards)

  5. PSG (sleep efficiency, arousal index, % REM sleep, urinary catecholamines)

  6. Serum cytokines (IL-6, TNF alpha, IL-1 beta)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Nocturnal oxygen , nocturnal bi-level positive pressure ventilation in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Bayside Health at 1 site in Australia.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 5 Dec 2013. 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 Australia. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Quality of life questionnaires:. The study lists 11 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 NCT00157183, 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 5 Dec 2013.
