Hypoxia clinical trials at UCSF

7 in progress, 3 open to eligible people

Hypoxia means not enough oxygen in the body. UCSF has clinical trials to test the accuracy of devices called pulse oximeters, which measure blood oxygen levels. The trials will look at how pulse oximeters work for people with profound hypoxia while at rest. There is also a trial investigating how obstructive sleep apnea, a common condition, affects insulin resistance in the body.

Showing trials for
  • Accuracy of Pulse Oximeters With Profound Hypoxia At Rest (NIHO18)

    open to eligible people ages 18-50

    The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of devices called pulse oximeters, which measure blood oxygen by shining light through fingers, ears or other skin, without requiring blood sampling. Study will be used with patients at rest.

  • Accuracy of Pulse Oximeters With Profound Hypoxia At Rest (NIHO19)

    open to eligible people ages 18-50

    The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of devices called pulse oximeters, which measure blood oxygen by shining light through fingers, ears or other skin, without requiring blood sampling. Study will be used with patients at rest.

  • Tissue-specific Insulin Resistance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Role of Hypoxia

    open to eligible people ages 19-100

    Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition associated with significant adverse health outcomes. Our overarching hypothesis is that patients with OSA and hypoxia (H-OSA) have greater degrees of insulin resistance in both liver and adipose tissue when compared to those without hypoxia (NH-OSA) thus leading to increased risk for the development of diabetes in the former group.

  • Fetal Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Congenital Heart Disease and Association With Neonatal Neurobehavior

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    Determine 1) the impact of abnormal fetal cerebrovascular physiology with neurodevelopmental delay (ND) outcomes and 2) how this relationship is modified by patient and environmental factors such as chronic congenital heart disease (CCHD) lesion, maternal-fetal environment, and social determinants of heath (SDOH) in a diverse population using a multicenter design. Pregnant women will be approached during one of their fetal cardiology clinic visits.
