About this study

Official title: Efficacy of High-intensity Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation and Low-intensity Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Patients With Chronic Hypercapnic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

High-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), which can well improve the gas exchange and reduce the work of breathing of patients, is a new strategy targeted at maximally reducing arterial carbon dioxide. However, no definitive conclusions have been drawn to decide whether high-intensity NPPV is the best setting for treating patients with chronic hypercapnic COPD. For now, no unified method for setting up high-pressure NPPV has been established. Most of the trials utilized gradually increased inspiratory positive airway pressure depending on the patient's tolerance. However, from a respiratory physiology point of view, excessive inspiratory positive airway pressure may lead to lung hyperinflation, increased intrinsic positive end expiratory pressures, increased oxygen consumption, and ineffective work of breathing.Therefore, seeking a method to establish individualized high-intensity NPPV is of vital importance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Partial pressure of arterial blood carbon dioxide (PaCO2)

    Daytime arterial blood gas samples were taken with patients resting in a sitting position and breathing room air without having used NPPV for at least 1 hour.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Severe Respiratory Insufficiency (SRI) Questionnaire

    The SRI Questionnaire has good psychometric properties shown to be valid for chronic hypercapnic COPD patients receiving NPPV. It includes 49 items on seven subscales.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Baseline Dyspnea Index/Transition Dyspnea Index

    Baseline Dyspnea Index/Transition Dyspnea Index provides a multidimensional measurement of dyspnea based on 3 components that evoke dyspnea in activities of daily living, in symptomatic individuals.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Chromic Respiratory Questionnaire

    Chromic Respiratory Questionnaire is uesd to measure the health related quality of life in patients with chronic respiratory disease.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. COPD assessment test

    The COPD Assessment Test is a questionnaire for people with COPD. It is designed to measure the impact of COPD on a person's life, and how this changes over time.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Pulmonary function

    Pulmonary function tests of lung mechanics - measurements of forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, forced inspiratory flow rates, etc.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  6. 6-minute walk test

    The 6-minute walk test plays a key role in evaluating functional exercise capacity, assessing prognosis and evaluating response to treatment across a wide range of respiratory diseases.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in people with COPD and Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 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 5 Feb 2020. 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 China. 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 Lili Guan (+8613422288665, dr_nickguan@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Partial pressure of arterial blood carbon dioxide (PaCO2) (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 5 Feb 2020.
