Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 59 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Residents of City of Almaty aged 40-59 who smoke conventional cigarettes with a minimum of 10 pack-year smoking history

Who may be able to join

  • Current smokers who are currently smoking conventional cigarettes with a minimum of 10 pack-year smoking history

  • Pneumonia or other respiratory tract infections that have not resolved at least 14 days prior to screening
  • Pneumonia occurring after screening but before the first study visit
  • Active respiratory disorders: tuberculosis, lung cancer, significant bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, bronchial asthma, lung fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung diseases, or other active pulmonary diseases
  • Any co-morbid medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator would make participation in the study unsafe or unfeasible, including conditions that prohibit completion of exercise testing
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Use of supplemental oxygen therapy
  • Inability to abstain from smoking during the period in which the participant is admitted to the Kazakhstan Academy of Preventive Medicine (KAPM) COPD Center
  • A history of allergy or hypersensitivity to metal, particularly stainless steel

About this study

Official title: A Proof-of-concept, Open-label, Feasibility Study to Evaluate Mobile Applications and Biosensing (mHealth) Devices to Monitor Physical Activity and Respiratory Function in Smokers With and Without Respiratory Symptoms/COPD

This study examines the feasibility and acceptability of using mobile applications and biosensing (mHealth) devices in detecting vitality parameters in current smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD (e.g., heart rate, blood oxygenation, steps/motion) for a future big-scale study.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to investigate feasibility of using mHealth devices to improve the treatment, assessment, compliance, and outcomes in smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD. The study aims to reveal and address the anticipated barriers to the acceptance and implementation of mHealth devices in this patient population and clinical setting. As is well documented, the more attention patients receive from medical personnel, the better their clinical outcomes. Here we are attempting to use device-driven monitoring applications, interactive reminders, and teaching modules to deliver a constant positive feedback loop to patients to improve their health decisions.

Objectives of the study:

To assess the feasibility of using mHealth devices in current smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD.

To assess the utility (i.e., validity and reproducibility) of mHealth devices in detecting vitality parameters in current smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD (e.g., heart rate; blood oxygenation; steps/motion; FEV1, FVC, and their ratio; peak expiratory flow [PEF]).

What participants receive

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

    Anamed OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) device - physical activity and vital signs monitoring; Air Next mobile spirometry device

Study groups in NCT04081961
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Asymptomatic current smokersNo respiratory symptoms and preserved pulmonary function based on spirometry (FEV1/FVC of at least 0.70 after bronchodilation treatment and FVC ≥80% of the expected value)
Receives: Device: Anamed OEM device; Air Next mobile spirometry device
"Grey zone" current smokersInitially preserved pulmonary function based on spirometry, but with clinical symptoms based on COPD Assessment Test (CAT≥10) and results of the 6-min walk test (6 MWT) less than 450 meters.
Receives: Device: Anamed OEM device; Air Next mobile spirometry device
Current smokers with COPDCurrent smokers with a confirmed diagnosis of COPD (GOLD stage I-III)
Receives: Device: Anamed OEM device; Air Next mobile spirometry device

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Recruitment

    Recruitment is defined as the number of potential participants screened for study eligibility versus the number of persons who enrolled in the study.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Rate of Retention

    Retention is defined as the proportion of participants enrolled who completed the intervention and all study measures.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 90 days

  3. Protocol Adherence

    Adherence to the study protocol is determined as the proportion of participants enrolled from whom all mHealth parameters registered every day.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Signs and Symptoms, Respiratory and Mobile Applications, run by Kazakhstan Academy of Preventive Medicine at 1 site in Kazakhstan.

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 2 inclusion and 12 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 3 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Kazakhstan. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jan 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Rate of Recruitment (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04081961, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Mar 2020.
