About this study

Official title: Diagnosing Respiratory Disease in Children Using Smartphone Recordings of Cough Sounds 2

The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the efficacy of the ResAppDx software application in the diagnosis of childhood acute respiratory disease, including pneumonia, bronchiolitis, asthma/reactive airways disease, croup, lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD), viral lower respiratory tract infection (vLRTI), and upper respiratory tract disease (URTD).

Being tested
Recordings of Infants and Children's Cough Sounds
Medical subject headings
Pneumonia, Bronchiolitis, Croup, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, Respiration Disorders

What participants receive

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

  • Recordings of Infants and Children's Cough SoundsDevice

    Smartphone recordings of the cough sounds of infants and children presenting to a participating site with signs or symptoms of respiratory disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnosis of pneumonia

    Positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement to diagnose and rule out pneumonia as compared with (1) World Health Organization (WHO) Primary Endpoint Pneumonia (PEP) plus clinical pneumonia, (2) WHO PEP or Other Infiltrate plus clinical pneumonia, (3) Clinical pneumonia alone

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Diagnosis of other childhood respiratory diseases

    Positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement to diagnose and rule out: lower respiratory tract disease (i.e. respiratory condition occurring below the level of the larynx), viral lower respiratory tract infection, bronchiolitis, asthma/reactive airways disease, upper respiratory tract disease, and croup.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumonia and Bronchiolitis, run by ResApp Health Limited at 3 sites in United States.

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 8 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 8 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

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?

Diagnosis of pneumonia (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Nov 2018.
