Telemonitoring and breathing support for COPD with high carbon dioxide
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether home telemonitoring combined with a breathing machine (non-invasive ventilation) can help people with advanced COPD and persistently high carbon dioxide levels. It aims to improve care and reduce hospital visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 50 and 90 years old
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of COPD with severe airflow blockage (FEV1 less than 50% of predicted)
- Have high carbon dioxide levels in your blood (PaCO2 over 53 mmHg) for at least two weeks after a COPD flare-up
- Have had at least two COPD exacerbations (flare-ups) in the past year
- Not currently using a home breathing machine (non-invasive ventilation or CPAP)
- Be willing and able to use a breathing machine and telemonitoring equipment at home

This study looks at whether regular video check-ins and remote monitoring from your care team can improve your breathing and quality of life compared to the usual routine check-ups, for people with COPD who need a breathing machine at home.
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive ventilator (a breathing machine with a mask) at home can help people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital visits.
This trial tests whether real-time monitoring with wearable devices can provide early warnings for COPD patients using home non-invasive ventilation. It aims to help manage the condition and prevent complications.
This study looks at whether nighttime breathing problems can predict long-term success with a non-invasive breathing machine in people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. The goal is to help doctors decide who will benefit most from this therapy.
This trial compares different breathing strategies for people with COPD who still have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood a few weeks after a severe flare-up. The goal is to find the best way to help you breathe easier and improve your oxygen levels.
This trial studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
