About this study

Official title: Characterizing the Recovery Phase of Acute Exacerbations of COPD Using Wearable Remote Monitoring Technology

The purpose the study is to successfully characterize the recovery phase of acute exacerbations of COPD in the outpatient setting using remotely captured physiologic data from wearable devices, to compare this with patient self-reported symptom data, to determine which physiologic variable(s) best correspond with AECOPD recovery, and to further document the feasibility, data quantity, data quality, and COPD outpatient usability experience with wearable devices.

What is being measured

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

  1. Daily symptom score

    Validated AECOPD symptom score (EXACT PRO) will serve as the dependent (outcome) variable.

    Measured: Daily for 21 days

  2. Daily/nightly respiration

    Respiratory rate (RR) will serve as the primary independent (predictor) variable, and RR variability will serve as a secondary independent (predictor) variable.

    Measured: Daily for 21 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Daily/nightly heart rate and HR variability

    HR and HRV will serve as secondary independent (predictor) variables.

    Measured: Daily for 21 days

  2. Daily/nightly peripheral body temperature

    Temperature will serve as secondary independent (predictor) variables.

    Measured: Daily for 21 days

  3. Activity

    Activity parameters (including calories, METS, step count, etc.) will serve as secondary independent (predictor) variables.

    Measured: Daily for 21 days

  4. Sleep metrics

    Sleep metrics (including rem and non-rem stages of sleep; sleep duration, latency, efficiency, etc.) will serve as secondary independent (predictor) variables.

    Measured: Daily (nightly) for 21 days.

  5. Autonomic function/Stress

    Metrics of stress/autonomic function (including electrodermal activity) will serve as secondary independent (predictor) variables.

    Measured: Daily for 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 29 May 2024. 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 Canada. 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?

Daily symptom score (time frame: Daily for 21 days). 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 29 May 2024.
