  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult Patients with community acquired pneumonia induced acute hypoxemic respiratory failure that are hospitalized in the common ward and need FiO2 >50% to keep SpO2 >93%, or SpO2 >95% in case of persistent respiratory distress defined as RR>35/min.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients with age >18 year old.
  • Been hospitalized with community acquired pneumonia
  • hospitalized in common ward (not ICU)
  • Patients should have pneumonia- pulmonary infiltrates in chest-xray and hypoxemic respiratory failure.
  • Patients should be unable to keep: SpO2>93% with FiO2 50%, or SpO2 95% with FiO2 50% and have evidence of respiratory distress defined as Respiratory rate -RR>35/min

Who cannot join

  • Need for immediate or imminent intubation
  • not fit for escalation of treatment: defined as intubation, mechanical ventilation and ICU support.
  • Pregnant women

About this study

Official title: CPAP Versus High Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen for the Treatment of Patients With Community Acquired Pneumonia Induced Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure in the Ward

the study compares two non-invasive respiratory support modalities ie CPAP and High Flow nasal cannula oxygen for the treatment of severe hypoxemic respiratory failure attributed to Community acquired Pneumonia.

Read the detailed description

CPAP and High Flow nasal cannula oxygen are two established modalities for non-invasive respiratory support . In COVID pandemic era both CPAP and HFNO were widely used in the ward for the treatment of COVID-19 induced acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in order to prevent progression to intubation. Head to head comparison between the two modalities mentioned for the treatment of severe hypoxemic respiratory failure is not available neither in COVID pneumonia or Community acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • CPAPDevice

    CPAP will be delivered with a CPAP valve with venturi flow system with full-face mask. Treatment will start with CPAP set at 10cmH2O and FiO2 60% to target a SpO2 ≥90% or PO2 ≥60mmHg and then adjusted according to SpO2, respiratory distress and clinical tolerance

  • HFNODevice

    HFNO will be applied initially at maximal settings: 100% FiO2, flow rate 60 L/min and temperature 37C . Within 1 to 2 h, the HFNO settings should be titrated based on patients respiratory rate (<25-30 per minute), SpO2 (92-96%) and comfort

What is being measured

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

  1. days free from ventilatory support

    days without support with either mechanical ventilation, HFNO, CPAP

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. treatment failure defined

    no of patients that needed intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation or died

    Measured: 28 days

  2. intubation rate

    Measured: 28 days

  3. hospital mortality

    Measured: 28 days

  4. days under non-invasive respiratory support

    days without support with HFNO or CPAP

    Measured: 28 days

  5. hospital length of stay

    Measured: 28 days

  6. Partial pressure of oxygen PaO2 change at 2h, 12h and 24h

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumonia and Respiratory Failure, run by Evangelismos Hospital at 2 sites in Greece.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 6 Mar 2023. 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 Greece. 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 IOANNA SIGALA, PhD (+302132041712, giannasig@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

days free from ventilatory support (time frame: 28 days). 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 6 Mar 2023.
