Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion with treatment failure of allocated respiratory support within 72 h after start of respiratory support.

    Treatment failure defined as 1. intubation or 2. switch to another method of non-invasive ventilation or 3. death

    start of treatment until 72 hours

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • intubation within 72 hours (component of primary outcome)

    start of treatment until 72 hours

  • proportion intubated within 7 calendar days after hospitalisation/randomization

    start of treatment until 7 calender days after hospitalisation/randomization

  • Overall survival at day 28 and day 90

    start of treatment until day 90 after start of treatment

  • (Invasive) ventilator-free days until day 28

    start of treatment until day 28 after start of treatment

  • (Invasive) ventilator-free hours until the primary endpoint is reached or 72 hours, whichever comes first

    start of treatment until maximum 72 hours after start of treatment

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • acute hypercapnic exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with pH \< 7.35
  • pCO2 \> 45mmHg
  • age ≥ 18 years
  • written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • immediate need for intubation (acc. to intubation criteria in this protocol)
  • pH \< 7.15
  • BMI ≥ 35 kg/m²
  • established home-NIV or home-CPAP
  • end-stage disease with DNI/DNR order
  • diseases that could influence the primary endpoint: e.g. acute heart infarction, cardiogenic lung edema, acute and massive lung embolism (hypertensive), chronic dialysis with metabolic acidosis, unstable rib fracture influencing ventilation, injury to the face prohibiting use of a face mask
  • acute disease that precludes participation in the trial
  • tracheotomized patients
  • psychological/mental or other inabilities to supply required informed consent
  • participation in other interventional trials
  • suspected lack of compliance

Will share

According to the recommendations on data sharing by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) data resulting from the ELVIS trial will be made available to the scientific community.

Access Criteria
After publication of the major results and upon reasonable request from researchers performing an individual patient data meta-analysis, individual patient data that underlie published results will be shared after de-identification. This requires approval by the local ethics committee of the researcher requesting the data along with public registration of the meta-analysis. The coordinating investigator will contact the data protection officer before de-identification to ensure a correct and actual implementation of this process. Summary statistics that go beyond the scope of published material will be made available to researchers for meta-analysis upon reasonable request and if the necessary data analysis is not unduly time-consuming. Together with publication of the main results, the trial protocol in full will be made publically available as well as the statistical analysis plan.
