About this study

Official title: A Feasibility Study Evaluating a Novel Mask (Nasal Reservoir Cannula) Plus Nasal Cannula vs. Nasal Cannula Alone for Supplemental Oxygen Delivery in the Treatment of Hospitalized Pediatric Patients With Hypoxemia Due to Severe Pneumonia

This study evaluates the addition of a novel mask (nasal reservoir cannula) to a standard nasal cannula during supplemental oxygenation for the treatment of hospitalized pediatric patients with hypoxemia due to severe pneumonia. Half of patients (Group A) will receive oxygen for 1 hour using a novel mask (nasal reservoir cannula) plus standard nasal cannula (Period 1), followed by a 1-hour period of continued use of the standard nasal cannula delivery (Period 2). Half of patients (Group B) will receive oxygen for 1 hour using a standard nasal cannula (Period 1), followed by a 1-hour period of continued use of the novel mask (nasal reservoir cannula) plus standard nasal cannula (Period 2).

Read the detailed description

Pneumonia is the leading infectious cause of death among children less than 5 years of age. Hypoxemia is a major fatal complication of pneumonia, and the risk of death increases with increasing severity of hypoxemia. Improving oxygen delivery and extending oxygen supplies to children with hypoxemia due to severe pneumonia could reduce mortality in resource-limited settings.

Global Good has developed a low cost oxygen mask (nasal reservoir cannula) to more efficiently deliver oxygen to the pediatric patient by increasing dead space to recapture a portion of expelled oxygen using the spatial distribution of the nasal reservoir cannula volume and length of surface seal. This nasal reservoir cannula fits over a standard nasal cannula (also termed prong). The system is designed to reduce administered oxygen to deliver an equal or higher fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) per oxygen delivered (L/min) compared with a standard nasal cannula alone.

What participants receive

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

  • Nasal reservoir cannulaDevice

    The experimental oxygen mask (nasal reservoir cannula) fits over a standard nasal cannula. The system is designed to reduce administered oxygen to deliver an equal or higher fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) per oxygen delivered (L/min) compared with a standard nasal cannula alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recruitment rate

    Proportion of screened children who were enrolled This will help inform the design of a definitive clinical trial.

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. Estimated effect of novel mask on amount of oxygen used (compared to standard nasal cannula alone)

    Difference in volume of oxygen used, in liters (from cylinder) Estimation of effect size will help inform the design of a definitive clinical trial.

    Measured: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Protocol adherence

    Proportion of enrolled children who completed the study, per protocol This will help inform the design of a definitive clinical trial.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Oxygen flow

    Average oxygen flow, in liters per minute

    Measured: 1 hour

  3. Oxygen saturation (SpO2)

    Average continuous oxygen saturation (SpO2) value

    Measured: 1 hour

  4. PCO2

    PCO2 (capillary blood gas)

    Measured: End of each period

  5. pH

    pH (capillary blood gas)

    Measured: End of each period

  6. Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcpCO2)

    Average continuous transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcpCO2) value

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal reservoir cannula in people with Pneumonia Childhood, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in Uganda.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2019. 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 Uganda. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Per sponsor advice). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Recruitment rate (time frame: 1 hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Apr 2019.
