About this study

The PulmoTrack® 2010 with WIM-PC™ Technologies device, indicated for acoustic pulmonary function measurement that quantifies the presence of wheezing. This study was designed in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using the WIM-PC™ device for wheeze detection during dynamic bronchial situations in asthmatic adult.

Read the detailed description

Asthma is defined by the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) guideline as a 'Chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. The asthma guideline states that inflammation causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightness that are associated with widespread but variable airflow obstruction.

Wheeze quantification by lung sounds analysis methods is objective, non invasive and has been shown to correlate with clinical status in asthma and bronchiolitis. The recording procedure is simple, requiring only the attachment of 4 ECG-size sensors to the chest wall. A 30-second recording is often adequate to obtain good quality data, where wheezes are detected and counted with high degree of accuracy.

Karmel Sonix Ltd has developed the PulmoTrack® 2010 with WIM-PC™ Technologies device, indicated for acoustic pulmonary function measurement that quantifies the presence of wheezing. This study was designed in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using the PulmoTrack® 2010 with WIM-PC™ Technologies device for wheeze detection during dynamic bronchial situations in asthmatic adults.

What is being measured

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

  1. Study success will be declared if one of the following is met: A correlation of at least 0.25 (R2=0.25) will be found between WR and FEV1 measurements; A correlation of at least 0.7 will be found between clinical parameter and WZ measurements.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of the safety of using the PulmoTrack® 2010 with WIM-PC™ Technologies for wheeze detection. Safety will be established by lack of adverse events. Since this is a Non Significant Risk (NSR) device serious adverse events are not expected

    Measured: 1 hour

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Study success will be declared if one of the following is met: A correlation of at least 0.25 (R2=0.25) will be found between WR and FEV1 measurements; A correlation of at least 0.7 will be found between clinical parameter and WZ measurements. (time frame: 6 months). 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 13 Jan 2009.
