Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a device called "ROAM" that is being developed to see how patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) use oxygen therapy over a long period of time. This study will focus on evaluating the ROAM device, which will be attached to your oxygen source. The question that the study aims to answer is: will patients who receive daily adherence feedback from the ROAM have increased adherence to their prescribed long term oxygen therapy regimens?

Researchers will compare the amount of time using oxygen and attitudes about oxygen therapy observed in a group that receives feedback from ROAM, and a control group that does not receive feedback.

Participants will have their oxygen supplies fitted with the ROAM device and then use their oxygen as usual for the 5-week study duration. Participants in the study group will have access to information about their oxygen usage and pulse oximetry levels. All participants will attend two in-clinic sessions of about an hour each, and will complete questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial will be a conventional randomized, parallel controlled trial to evaluate the primary hypothesis that a 4-week period of using the ROAM adherence monitor and support system will result in increased adherence when compared to a control group with no adherence monitoring. The participant population will be individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and who have been prescribed oxygen therapy for a minimum of 8 hours/day. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to the ROAM group; the other half will comprise the control group.

All participants will bring their regular oxygen supplies to the clinic to be fitted with the ROAM sensors. To establish baseline adherence, for the first week, all participants will be blinded to feedback from the ROAM system (including oxygen usage times and oxygen saturation levels); a special code will disable feedback on the local system, including the adherence displays and notifications. After one week, the oxygen usage times will be averaged, and used as a baseline of adherence.

Control participants will continue to be blinded to the ROAM feedback for the next four weeks. After the first week, the ROAM group participants will be instructed to enter a code to enable the ROAM user feedback display on the concentrator and portable tank systems. These participants will be instructed to take pulse oximetry readings as they usually do using the ROAM system's included oximeter. A minimum of two readings per day will be encouraged by built-in alerts on the system. They will continue using the system, while receiving feedback on daily adherence rates and oxygen saturation levels, for the 4-week study duration.

The average daily oxygen use times over the four-week study period will be computed, and use times for the ROAM group will be compared to those of the control group. At the beginning and end of the study, patients will complete a questionnaire to assess attitudes toward treatment. The primary outcome metric will be adherence rates (% adherent = actual treatment time/prescribed treatment time) of the oxygen therapy. The secondary outcome metric will be attitude towards treatment, as assessed via questionnaires.

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.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    ROAM Group

    The ROAM group participants will have access to the ROAM user feedback display on their concentrator and portable tank oxygen delivery systems, throughout the 4-week study duration.

    Device: Activated ROAM System with User Feedback

  • Sham comparator
    Control Group

    The control group participants will have their oxygen delivery concentrators and portable tanks fitted with the ROAM system, which will monitor their usage, but they will not receive any of the user feedback or have access to the ROAM software.

    Device: Sham Comparator

Interventions

  • DeviceActivated ROAM System with User Feedback

    The activated ROAM device will provide the user with daily information about their oxygen therapy usage and pulse oximetry.

  • DeviceSham Comparator

    The sham comparator is a ROAM device that monitors oxygen usage, but keeps the usage details blind to the user.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Adherence rates of oxygen therapy

    Adherence rates are computed as the participant's average daily actual treatment time divided by the prescribed daily treatment time.

    Time frame: From enrollment through completion of the study at 5 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient Activation Model Scores

    The Patient Activation Model (PAM) is an established, highly reliable, questionnaire that reflects a developmental model of patient engagement with their healthcare regimens.

    Time frame: at the study completion at 5 weeks

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

Start is estimated for May 2025; primary completion for Apr 2026, 11 months later.

Of 87 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 35. This study's planned 11 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,182 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 39.

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 Mar 13, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
