ALS Clinical Trial
Official title:
Remote Pulmonary Function Testing in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Pilot)
The specific objective of this study is to validate the practice of remote pulmonary function testing (rPFT) conducted in the home through the use of connected mobile health devices and the Penn State Hershey ALS Telemanagement program.
The specific objective of this study is to validate the practice of remote pulmonary function
testing (rPFT) conducted in the home through the use of connected mobile health devices and
the Penn State Hershey ALS Telemanagement program. The central hypothesis is that guided home
assessment of respiratory function is a valid method for detecting respiratory insufficiency
leading to noninvasive ventilation (NIV) recommendation. This study has the potential to
transform the current practice of conducting breathing assessments every three months,
resulting in timelier detection of respiratory insufficiency, thereby staining quality of
life and lengthening survival. This protocol has the potential to demonstrate telemanagement
exceeding the standards of ALS care.
This is a self-controlled study which will enroll 40 patients from the ALS clinic. On the day
of their clinical visit, study participants will perform both a standard PFT as well as a
simulated rPFT, both generating three valid repetitions of forced vital capacity (FVC) and
maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) procedures. The simulated rPFT will mimic the practice of
home telemonitoring by having patients be instructed by a respiratory therapist over the
telemanagement portal while in a research room within the ALS clinic. The primary hypothesis
is that there is no difference in the results of PFT and rPFT for respiratory assessment of
FVC and MIP.
