Intersticial Lung Disease 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.

Can High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Improve Oxygenation During Exercise in ILD Patients?

Start date: January 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Objectives: 1.- To compare the level of oxygenation achieved during muscular training with conventional oxygen systems (nasal cannulas) versus nasal High-flow oxygen therapy. 2.-To compare benefits achieved with both systems, in terms of: level of exercise during training; effort tolerance in the 6 minutes walking test (6MWT); improvement of dyspnoea and Health-related quality of life (HRQoL). And analyse the effects of nasal High-flow oxygen therapy on the acute exercise in a subgroup of patients. Method: Multicentric randomized clinical trial. Patients with ILD in fibrotic phase who present oxygen desaturation during 6MWT (SpO2 mean ≤ 85%) will be included consecutively. Will be randomized in two groups: ILD patients with conventional oxygen (EPIDOC) and ILD patients with nasal High-Flow oxygen therapy (EPIDOAF). Both groups will perform a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. Oxygen will be titrated respectively to flow and FiO2 needed to maintain SpO2 ≥ 90% during training with both systems. Evaluation measures: SpO2 during training in both groups; dyspnoea (mMRC scale and CRQ dyspnoea); exercise capacity (6MWT) and HRQoL (self- administered KBILD questionnaire and SF36). In a subgroup of patients will be compared time of endurance exercise to evaluate the effects of nasal high-flow oxygen therapy in the acute exercise.
