MoblO2 for activity-related oxygen delivery in COPD and ILD
Official title: MOBoxy: MoblO2 to Maintain Oxygenation
Run by Minnesota HealthSolutions · NCT07704567 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether the MoblO2 device, when attached to a patient’s oxygen tanks, can automatically control oxygen flow during activity to improve how COPD or ILD patients feel and function.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with COPD or ILD who were prescribed oxygen for exertion but do not require oxygen at rest.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who need oxygen at rest or have high-flow oxygen requirements may not benefit from this approach.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a single-center, cross-over study where adults with COPD or ILD who use oxygen for exertion will wear their usual oxygen setup and participate in two weeks of activity with MoblO2. In one week, the MoblO2 device collects data without changing oxygen flow; in the other week, it automatically controls O2 flow during exertion. The trial uses an initial O2 titration to determine baseline needs and compares outcomes with and without flow control. An activity monitor will track physical activity and symptoms to gauge impact on oxygen use and daily function.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, MoblO2 could help tailor oxygen delivery during activity, potentially reducing breathlessness and improving daily functioning.
How similar studies have gone: Evidence from similar oxygen-automation approaches is limited; this trial explores a novel device-controlled flow strategy.
