简要总结
Multicenter, phase IV, non-superiority, registry-based, randomized controlled trial. Patients starting long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) are randomized between LTOT prescribed 24 h/day or 15 h/day using the Swedish Register for Respiratory Failure (Swedevox). Clinical follow-up and concurrent treatments are according to routine clinical practice. The main endpoints of mortality, hospitalizations, and incident disease are assessed using Swedish registry data, with expected complete follow-up. Patient-reported outcomes are assessed using a posted questionnaire at 3 and 12 months. The study is managed by the Uppsala Clinical Research Centre (UCR).
详细描述
BACKGROUND:
LTOT given 15 h/day or more improves the survival time in patients with chronic daytime hypoxemia due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) based on two randomized trials; the 'Continuous or Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy' Trial (NOTT) published in 1980 [1] and the Medical Research Council (MRC) trial published in 1981.[2] International guidelines recommend that LTOT is prescribed continuously (24 h/day), which is based on an observational, unadjusted comparison of the treatment arms of the MRC and NOTT studies only. [3] However, LTOT 24 h/day may place an unnecessary burden on patients in terms of increased dependence, isolation, side effects and restricted activity.[3, 4] Data from the National Swedish Registry for Respiratory Failure (Swedevox) indicate no survival benefit from LTOT 24 vs 15 h/day (Figure 1). No randomized trial has evaluated the additional benefit of longer daily duration of LTOT above 15 h/day.[4] Studies on the effect of LTOT are also lacking for diseases other than COPD, such as pulmonary fibrosis, yet LTOT is given in these conditions according to the same criteria as in COPD in clinical practice.[4]
IMPORTANCE:
This will be the first R-RCT in respiratory medicine and the largest trial of LTOT to date. If LTOT 24 h/day is found to be superior to 15 h/day, this will confirm the importance of oxygen therapy in chronic respiratory failure and the importance of implementing services to optimize the daily duration of LTOT. If LTOT 24 h/day is non-superior to 15 h/day, this supports that patients safely can be free of supplemental oxygen for up to nine hours per day. This trial will also be the first to evaluate effects of LTOT on symptoms and HRQOL, effects in patients with moderate hypoxemia and in diseases other than COPD. This study will have direct impact on research and clinical management.

研究组 & 干预措施
LTOT 24 h/day (intervention)
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) prescribed 24 h/day. The LTOT is provided according to standard clinical practice using oxygen concentrator, cylinders or liquid oxygen and administered mainly through nasal prongs. The oxygen dose (l/min) is titrated aiming at a PaO2 on oxygen > 8 kPa in accordance with current routine practice and management guidelines.
干预措施: LTOT 24 h/day (Drug)
LTOT 15 h/day (control)
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) prescribed 15 h/day. The LTOT is provided according to standard clinical practice using oxygen concentrator, cylinders or liquid oxygen and administered mainly through nasal prongs. The oxygen dose (l/min) is titrated aiming at a PaO2 on oxygen > 8 kPa in accordance with current routine practice and management guidelines.
干预措施: LTOT 15h/day (Drug)
