Clinical Impact of HOME Oxygen SATURation Measurement (SATURHOME)

Study Purpose

The use of saturometry at home is more and more widespread in patients suffering from interstitial pulmonary diseases (IPD), the patients seeing it as reassurance and a concrete way to follow the evolution of their disease. However, there are no studies evaluating the real clinical benefit of taking saturation at home in this population. In addition, clinical experience seems rather to demonstrate an increase in the anxiety level and the number of clinically unnecessary consultations related to the use of this measure. The secondary objectives are to determine the impact of this measurement on:

  • (1) the health care use (telephone calls, medical consultations and hospitalizations), (2) dyspnea score, (3) the anxiety and depression score (HADS score) and (4) the physical activity level.
The exploratory objectives will be to determine if the measurement of saturation at home makes it possible to
  • (1) predict the occurrence of acute exacerbations of fibrosis, (2) effectively predict the decline in respiratory function tests and (3) 1-year mortality.
The investigator will also assess whether this measure makes it possible to screen patients with oxygen therapy needs at home. The investigator hypothesize that measuring oxygen saturation at home will lead to a significant deterioration in quality of life, an increase in the use of health care, a significant increase in the rate of anxiety and depression, dyspnea and a decrease in the physical activity level.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04624191
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
