Trial summary

A cerebral oximeter is a device that uses light to measure the amount of oxygen within the brain. It is similar to the device that measures the level of oxygen in the tip of the finger, known as a pulse oximeter. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Accuracy of the O2 MedTech PMS-3000 Monitor for the Non-invasive Measurement of Cerebral and Tissue Oxygenation Using Phase-modulated Infrared Spectroscopy

A cerebral oximeter is a device that uses light to measure the amount of oxygen within the brain. It is similar to the device that measures the level of oxygen in the tip of the finger, known as a pulse oximeter. The cerebral oximeter consists of a sensor placed on the forehead that both emits and detects the amount of light absorbed. This study will determine how accurate the device is by comparing the displayed value on the monitor with blood samples taken simultaneously from the arterial blood in the wrist and venous blood in the neck. In order to test the device over a suitable range, the level of oxygen within the blood will be reduced in a controlled manner by reduction of the inspired oxygen concentration. This is the equivalent of ascending to an altitude of 16,000 feet. The study will be conducted in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This is a calibration and validation study of a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device designed to measure the cerebral tissue oxygen saturation non-invasively. This is achieved by comparing NIRS-derived cerebral tissue oxygen saturation with a calculated value derived from simultaneous arterial and jugular venous blood samples.

At present the FDA have adopted the standards published in 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), entitled ISO 9919. This is a set of technical specifications and guidelines for pulse oximeters, which share certain technical similarities to cerebral oximeters. In particular, Annex EE details the conduct of a controlled desaturation study for the calibration of pulse oximeter equipment. Specifically, the fraction of inspired oxygen delivered to test subjects is varied to achieve a series of targeted steady state saturation periods over a range of arterial oxygen saturation of 70 - 100%.

While cerebral oximeters differ from pulse oximeters in terms of the what is being measured (brain tissue versus arterial blood) the FDA have maintained the requirement to examine data from human volunteer studies in which the arterial oxygen saturation ranges from 70 - 100%. Several FDA-approved cerebral oximeters were validated in a similar manner.

The device controlling the inspired gas concentration is the RespirAct, which permits precise reduction in the arterial oxygen saturation while also maintaining the arterial carbon dioxide level at a precise level.

The study consists of 2 sequences:

  • First sequence: reduction in arterial oxygen saturation in approximately 5% increments from 100 to 70%, while maintaining the arterial carbon dioxide level at 40 mmHg, followed by return to room air and then a period of supplemental oxygen.
  • Second sequence: reduction in arterial oxygen saturation in approximately 5% increments from 100 to 70%, while maintaining the arterial carbon dioxide level at a different level, followed by return to room air and then a period of supplemental oxygen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of device to measure cerebral tissue oxygen saturation

    Oximeter measurements are compared to co-oximeter measurements following each subject study. The total sample of subjects is needed to complete the analysis.

    Measured: approximately 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing O2 MedTech cerebral oximeter (Oxygen desaturation) in people with Healthy, run by O2 MedTech, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 23 May 2012. 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 United States. 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 phase mean?

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?

Accuracy of device to measure cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (time frame: approximately 4 months). 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 23 May 2012.
