Hypoxemia and/or Hypercapnia 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.

The Relationship Between Arterial Stiffness and Respiratory Failure in Motor Neurone Disease

Start date: February 21, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

- Patients with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) admitted to Lane Fox Unit /Royal Brompton Hospital and/or reviewed in Lane Fox Unit /Royal Brompton Hospital clinics and/or outreach review will be approached for participation in the study - Physiological assessment and measurement of arterial stiffness will be performed in all patients at baseline and after the use of non invasive ventilation for 6 weeks. - MND patients not requiring mechanical ventilation will serve as controls since non invasive ventilation cannot be withheld from MND patients in type II respiratory failure. - Data will be analysed to look for differences between groups, relationships in baseline or change from baseline in respiratory physiological measures, inflammatory indices, breathlessness, and arterial stiffness. - Age, Height, Weight - History and Physical Examination - Evaluation of dysponea: mMRC, Borg Scale (Seated-Supine) - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R) - Sleep Disordered Breathing in Neuromuscular Disease Questionnaire (SiNQ-5) - 24 hour blood pressure monitor - Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity - Respiratory Muscle Strength - Maximal Inspiratory Pressure, Maximal Expiratory Pressure, and Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Pressure - Spirometry - FEV1 and FVC - Arterial Blood Gas - CRP and fibrinogen (clinically) - Breathe CO exhale
