Study summary

A prospective, open label, randomized, crossover, pilot, exploratory study to describe the effect of the Inogen One® G4 POC on brain hypoxia, peripheral oxygen saturation and cognitive function in adults with longterm- COVID.

Read the detailed description

After a 2-week screening/baseline evaluation, participants will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to one of the following 2 sequences: 1) portable oxygen concentrator (POC) for a first 2-week period followed by standard of care (SOC) for a second 2-week period or 2) SOC for a first 2-week period followed by POC for a second 2-week period. There will be a washout period of one week between the two treatment periods. A total of 10 subjects will be enrolled per sequence.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Ability and willingness to give written prior to any study-specific screening procedures and to comply with the requirements of the study
  2. Male or female, aged ≥ 18 years of age
  3. Diagnosed with Long-COVID
  4. Patient self-reported concerns regarding cognitive functioning or recent diagnosis of COVID-19 related cognitive impairment
  5. test scores ranging from 13 to 25/30 at screening
  6. Oxygen saturation SpO2 ≤ 93 % on fingertip pulse oximetry and/or \< 60% on brain NIRS, at rest or during effort and/ or 10% relative decrease in brain saturation during exercise as compared to baseline value at screening
  7. Ability to perform exercise treadmill test at screening
  8. Tolerability of pulsed oxygen (O2) therapy delivered by POC at screening
  9. Willingness and ability to wear POC.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. to the use of POC including allergy to cannula material
  2. Pregnancy or planning to become pregnant during the study
  3. Non-COVID-related cause for cognitive impairment (such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, brain tumor, or dementia)
  4. Subjects with respiratory infection at screening or randomization and/or acute bronchitis requiring antibiotics at the time of randomization or expected during the treatment
  5. Participation in other interventional clinical trial within 30 days of randomization or expect to participate in any other clinical trial during the conduct of this trial
  6. Subjects who should be excluded in the opinion of the investigator
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

MMSE and MoCA

Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Study arms

  • No intervention
    Standard of Care (SOC)

    SOC is defined as the patient symptoms or complications based treatment.

  • Experimental
    Portable Oxygen Concentrator

    Inogen One® G4 Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) is used on a prescriptive basis by subjects requiring supplemental oxygen. It supplies a high concentration of oxygen and is used with a nasal cannula which channels oxygen from the concentrator to the subject. Inogen One® G4 is designed to provide a flow of high purity oxygen. Inogen One® G4 may be used in home, institution, vehicle and various mobile environments.

    Device: Inogen One® G4

Interventions

  • DeviceInogen One® G4

    Inogen One® G4 will be used for a minimum of 3h per day at Setting 3 during the intervention period.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jun 2022 to primary completion in Mar 2023, 8 months.

Of 138 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under COVID-19, half reached primary completion within 5 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 11. This study's 8 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,476 studies reached it within 9 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 19.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 14, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
