About this study

Official title: A 52-week Multi-center Randomized Trial to Evaluate Remote Patient Monitoring Using the EXACT Patient-reported Outcome Tool on Reduction of Hospitalizations From Exacerbations in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease as Compared to Those Managed by Usual Care

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate a remote patient monitoring (RPM) system using a daily PRO tool (EXACT = Exacerbations of Chronic Pulmonary Disease Tool), in preventing hospitalization from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbations in a COPD population at high risk of exacerbation, compared to those managed by usual care.

Read the detailed description

This study uses two parallel groups of approximately 100 patients in each arm. After a screening period to confirm eligibility, patients will be randomized to either the RPM system group, or the usual care group. Both groups will be followed for 52 weeks until the end of study. There are only 4 planned study visits and patients will continue on their usual treatment.

The remote patient monitoring system will issue an alert to the clinical site once the established threshold change has been reached. The alert notification will require the clinical site to contact the patient and treat the patient based on clinical judgment and clinical practice. Patients in the usual care arm will be managed through their normally nurse/physician contact.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Remote Patient MonitoringDevice

    Remote patient monitoring system including exacerbations of chronic pulmonary disease Tool - Patient Reported Outcome (EXACT PRO), Lung Monitor, and Pulse Oximeter

  • Usual careOther

    Patients in the usual care arm will continue their normally established procedures of nurse/physician contact and evaluation, as is considered standard for each individual practitioner in the study.

Study groups in NCT01744028
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Remote patient monitoringExperimentalRemote patient monitoring system including the Exacerbations of Chronic Pulmonary Disease Tool (EXACT) tool can use changes in daily scores over a certain threshold level to alert notification to the clinical site. The site will contact the patient in order to determine the clinical significance associated with the change in score, and to treat the patient based on clinical judgment and clinical practice.
Receives: Device: Remote Patient Monitoring
Usual careExperimentalThis group of patient will continue on their usual standard care as close to real life situation as possible.
Receives: Other: Usual care

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The number of hospitalizations and emergency room visits for management of COPD exacerbation(s)

    Comparison of the total number of hospitalizations and emergency room visits (combined) for management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbation(s) between the two arms

    Measured: 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Lenght of hospitalization

    Comparison of the average length of hospital stay for management of COPD exacerbation(s) between the two arms.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  2. Time to first hospitalization

    Comparison of the time to first occurrence of hospitalization for management of COPD exacerbation(s) between the two arms.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  3. Use of health care resources

    Comparison of the combined health care resource utilization (hospitalizations, unscheduled, scheduled office visits, telephone call contacts) for management of COPD between the two arms.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  4. Number of medical visits

    Comparison of the number of medical visits combined (hospitalizations, emergency room visits, unscheduled and scheduled office visits) for management of COPD between the two arms.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Remote Patient Monitoring in people with Remote Patient Monitoring in COPD Patients, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 20 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Spain, Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The number of hospitalizations and emergency room visits for management of COPD exacerbation(s) (time frame: 52 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2020.
