Home COPD and Open Ventilation Evaluation (HOPE) Study
NCT03691181 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Respiratory related diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and neuromuscular diseases remain a major public health issue affecting millions of people worldwide. More than 15 million people are estimated to be diagnosed with COPD in the US alone. In the US, the direct and indirect costs associated with COPD are estimated to be about $50 billion. Clinical studies have shown that by providing ventilation to reduce respiratory insufficiency symptoms such as dyspnea, patients may become more tolerant to exercise and be able to increase their participation in activities of daily living resulting in an overall positive impact in their quality of lives. The Life2000 Ventilation System, with the smallest tubing and comfortable interface solutions, is the only ventilator to simultaneously provide full ventilatory support and enable patients to ambulate. The Life2000 Ventilation System is an FDA-cleared critical care ventilator (K141943/S003, June 2015) indicated for use for adult patients who require positive pressure ventilation delivered invasively or non-invasively. The device, classified by FDA as a continuous ventilator, can treat both acute and chronic respiratory failure and is suitable for use in home and institutional settings by qualified, trained personnel under the direction of a physician. The Life2000 Compressor is intended to provide a 50-psi pressure source to the ventilator and is currently in the FDA premarket notification (510 k) clearance process, so its use is considered investigational.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03691181
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03691181 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 6 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Landon Pediatric Foundation, which has 3 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Ventilation is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03691181 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
