Trial summary

In the literature, the effects of acute oxygen administration on exercise tolerance and related symptoms have often appeared to be contradictory. Some investigations have reported benefits from acute oxygen supply during exertion, including increased exercise performance, reduced dyspnea, and better cardiorespiratory… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Does Correction of Exercice-induced Desaturation by O2 Improve Systematically Exercise Tolerance in COPD Patients ?

In the literature, the effects of acute oxygen administration on exercise tolerance and related symptoms have often appeared to be contradictory. Some investigations have reported benefits from acute oxygen supply during exertion, including increased exercise performance, reduced dyspnea, and better cardiorespiratory adaptations, whereas other studies have reported no improvement. Recently, we advanced then the hypothesis that some patients would be non-responders and even worsen under oxygen treatment. The preliminary results confirmed our hypothesis since we demonstrated that while 56% of the patients were improved with supplemental oxygen, 16% were non-responders and 28% were negative-responders (decreased performance and increased dyspnea during endurance exercise with supplemental oxygen). However, this was a pilot study offering preliminary insights and tentative conclusions that must be confirmed in a larger case series.

The aims of this retrospective study was :

  1. To confirm on cohorte and with clinical test (the 6-minute walking test - 6WT) the deleterious responses to acute oxygen supplementation in LTOT (long terme oxygenotherapy treatment) and non-LTOT patients who exhibit exercise desaturation.
  2. To identify the predictive factors among the clinical data (i.e., anthropometric, spirometric and gazometric data) and/or functional data recorded during rehabilitation program
Read the detailed description

During this study, a retrospective data collection will be carried out using the informations contained in the medical folders of patients admitted in our centers for pulmonary rehabiliation program.

We will select patients who meet the following criteria:

  1. patients having two 6WT early in their program B) who desaturate (SpO2 <90% for 3 consecutive min) during the first 6WT and who will have been properly corrected with a supply of oxygen during the second walk test.

The analyzed parameters will be distance and dyspnea during the tests

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02055885
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Positive respondersPositive responders (R+): patients exhibiting an increase in the 6WT distance ≥ 10% and/or a decrease in dyspnea ≥ 10% (i.e., ≥ 1 point on the visual analogue scale).
negative respondersNegative responders(R-): patients exhibiting a decrease in the distance ≥ 10% and/or an increase in dyspnea ≥ 10%.

What is being measured

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

  1. Distance of six minute walking test (meter)

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dyspnea during the 6 minute walking test

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Oxygen/Therapeutic Use, run by 5 Santé at 2 sites in France.

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 0 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 8 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

Distance of six minute walking test (meter) (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT02055885, 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 8 Jul 2015.
