About this study

This interventional study aims to validate the cough detection device by automatically and continuously measuring the cough frequency with SIVA-MVP among chronic cough patients and in a real-world environment.

Read the detailed description

After chronic cough diagnosis, the Principal Investigator (or his designee) will identify potentially eligible patients to participate in this study based on the predefined inclusion criteria.

The study will recruit patients with a cough that has lasted for at least 12 months and persistent for the previous 8 weeks with a diagnosis or suspicion of refractory chronic cough, or patients with a diagnosed asthma. A total of 50 patients will be enrolled in the study.

Patients who decide to participate will be entered into the study after obtaining their informed consent. They will receive the SIVA-MVP wearable and the associated accessories. They will be asked to rate their current cough severity on a visual analog scale (Cough Severity VAS) and fill in a Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) to assess the impact of cough on their quality of life. Participants will receive a second Cough Severity VAS and LCQ to fill at the end of the study and a return envelope.

Participants will receive standard care and be asked to wear SIVA-MVP on their chest during the day and charge it on the bedside during sleep for 14 days. Every evening, they will be prompted by the SIVA-MVP smartphone application to indicate the timing of their main meals.

On day 15, the study nurse will conduct a pre-scheduled phone interview with each participant. The phone interview will include instructing the patient to fill in the final Cough Severity VAS and LCQ, asking the questions of the Participant User Feedback Questionnaire, and instructing the patient to send the questionnaire forms and the SIVA-MVP wearable and the accessories back to the trial site using the return envelope. The Participant User Feedback Questionnaire will include ratings of wearing comfort, usability, and likeliness to wear for an extended period of time.

What participants receive

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

  • SIVA-MVPDevice

    Participants receive a small, wearable data recorder, wear it during the day and charge it on the nightstand during sleep for 14x24 hours. The encrypted, recorded segments are uploaded to a server. The server provides a secure environment where the segments are decrypted after receiving the required keys from the patient's SIVA smartphone application. The decrypted segments are then classified as cough by a machine learning algorithm. Participants respond to questions on a smartphone once a day for additional context data. The audio data from the first 24 hours after the patient started wearing the device are used for the validation of the performance of the cough detection algorithm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Performance of the SIVA-MVP cough detection device

    Validation of a SIVA-MVP performance of detecting individual cough events in a target population over a 24-hour validation phase (first 24 hours after baseline visit). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values contribute to a description of cough monitor performance.

    Measured: First 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Wearing comfort

    Wearing Comfort will be determined through quantitative analysis of questions in the Participant User Feedback Questionnaire measured with 5-level Likert Scale (Disagree, Somewhat disagree, Neither agree nor disagree, Somewhat agree, Agree).

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Number of potential adverse events, serious adverse events, device deficiency and serious device deficiency

    Device safety measured as the number of potential adverse events, serious adverse events, device deficiency and serious device deficiency.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  3. Comparison of objectively recorded (device) data and subjectively reported (patient) data measured with Leicester Cough Questionnaire and Cough Severity VAS

    Correlation of patient reported outcomes measured with Leicester Cough Questionnaire and Cough Severity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) with recorded cough frequency during 14x24h.

    Measured: At Baseline and at the end of 2 weeks

  4. Wearing time

    Effective wearing times per day as recorded by the device.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  5. Effective reply rate

    Effective reply rate of patients to questions for context information asked to them via the smartphone application

    Measured: 2 weeks

  6. Cough frequency patterns

    Degree of similarity between cough patterns of different days within one patient and between patients.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SIVA-MVP in people with Chronic Cough, run by Siva Health AG at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 15 May 2025. 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 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?

Performance of the SIVA-MVP cough detection device (time frame: First 24 hours). 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 15 May 2025.
