Chronic Disease Lung clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT03932175 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Noninvasive Ventilation

Behavioural Intervention in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Start date: February 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Non-invasive ventilation at home for chronic respiratory failure due to different etiologies has proven effective regarding mortality and quality of life. Nonetheless, adherence to therapy still constitutes a clinical day-to-day problem. Physiological monitoring has shown to improve adherence. We hypothesise that an additional behavioural intervention delivered via mHealth tools, on top of usual care, can further enhance therapeutical success alongside patient satisfaction. Methods: Randomized single-blinded controlled trial with an intervention and control groups. Intervention will consist of a multi-component based behavioural intervention delivered via a mHealth tool, during a three-month period. Primary objective will be change in self-efficacy towards non-invasive ventilation use Statistical Analysis: Based on a change of 0.5 units in the Self Efficacy in Sleep apnea (SEMSA) questionnaire, a sample size of 30 subjects per study arm was calculated. It has been anticipated a drop-out rate of 5%. Standard statistical analysis will take place. Expected results: we expect a positive change on the SEMSA score (reflecting better self-efficacy) after three-month use. Indirectly, this enhancement should facilitate patient adherence specifically via mask leak problems resolution. Also, we presume that the proposed mHealth tool will be highly usable and accepted by the patients, leading to overall satisfaction with the service provided.
