Trial summary

The objective is to study the cognitive functions in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) compared to healthy controls. The cognitive functions are tested with and without oxygen therapy to clarify the effect of oxygen therapy. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • COLD with forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) <50%, without long term oxygen therapy
  • COLD with FEV1 <50%, with long term oxygen therapy
  • ILD with diffusion capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) < 50%, without long term oxygen therapy

Who cannot join

  • comorbidity which decreases cognitive function
  • comorbidity which decreases concentration
  • physical comorbidity which makes it impossible to complete the test

About this study

The objective is to study the cognitive functions in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) compared to healthy controls. The cognitive functions are tested with and without oxygen therapy to clarify the effect of oxygen therapy. Driving simulations is used to test the cognitive functions.

The hypothesis is that patients with chronic lung disease have decreased cognitive functions and that oxygen therapy will increase their cognitive functions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Standard deviation from the centre of the road

    Measuring how far from the centre of the road the patient has been driving in the driving simulation

    Measured: During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator

  2. Number of nil responses

    Measuring the number of times the patients doesn't react to the number "2" on the screen

    Measured: During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator

  3. Response time

    Measuring the mean amount of response time from the number "2" appears on the screen until the patient reacts

    Measured: During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator

  4. Number of off-road events per hour

    The number of times the car is off-road during the driving simulation

    Measured: During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing oxygen therapy in people with Lung Diseases, Interstitial and Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 12 Sep 2014. 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 Denmark. 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?

Standard deviation from the centre of the road (time frame: During the 45 min. of driving in the simulator). The study lists 4 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 NCT02125916, 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 12 Sep 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
