About this study

Official title: REACT - REAl Care for AsThma A Disease Study to Identify Patients With Severe Uncontrolled Asthma Using EMR Pre-screening and AIRQ® Score Documentation Over 12 Months, Including Patient-documented OCS Use With the AIRQ®-Active Application

This is a multi-center, single-country, single-arm, prospective, disease study to collect real world data of patients with severe uncontrolled asthma in Germany.

Read the detailed description

This observational disease study aims to improve the understanding of the real-world situation of patients with severe uncontrolled asthma, the influence of environmental factors on the risk of exacerbations as well as the patients' quality of life. The patients will provide self-reported information about their asthma control and medication use in a 12 months period after study enrollment. Additional patient information will be collected from existing electronical records (EMRs). Furthermore, patient- and provider-reported attitude towards healthcare and monitoring (measured through patient- and provider-reported experience measurements [PREMs]) will be collected to measure the level of satisfaction with the healthcare provision, digital and analog healthcare support programs, and the preferences in monitoring tools. The information will be collected either digitally with an application or analogically with paper-based questionnaires.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of severe asthma patients with an Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire (AIRQ®) score at baseline, and at 6 and 12 months post enrollment.

    To ascertain the level of asthma control of the study population by the AIRQ® assessment.

    The AIRQ® includes 10 questions (7 assessing symptom impairment and 3 assessing risk) concerning patient medication use, asthma symptoms, medical visits, and tests.

    The AIRQ® can predict the risk for exacerbations and assess the quality of life of asthma patients.

    AIRQ® score: well-controlled (0-1 points), not well-controlled (2-4 points) and very poorly controlled (≥5 points) asthma

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (23)
  1. Changes in the AIRQ® total score

    To assess changes in asthma control compared with baseline assessment.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Bi-weekly changes in the AIRQ® total score over time

    To assess changes in asthma control over time.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. Changes in the AIRQ® impairment domain score

    To evaluate changes in quality of life (AIRQ® 7 impairment questions) of patients compared to baseline.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  4. Changes in the AIRQ® risk domain score

    To assess changes in the patients' risk level of exacerbations (AIRQ® 3 risk questions) compared to baseline.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  5. Proportion of patients with prescribed use of oral corticosteroids (OCS)

    To evaluate changes in prescribed daily OCS dose, prescribed cumulative OCS dose, percentage change in prescribed cumulative OCS dose, proportion of patients with prescribed ≤5 mg/day and prescribed >5mg/day OCS at baseline, months 6 and 12 post enrollment based on information collected via electronic medical records (EMRs).

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  6. Proportion of patients with self-reported OCS use

    To evaluate changes in self-reported daily OCS dose, cumulative OCS dose, percentage change in cumulative OCS dose, proportion of patients with ≤5 mg/day and >5mg/day OCS at baseline, months 6 and 12 post enrollment based on information via the AIRQ®-Active app or the paper medication diary.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  7. Proportion of patients with a change in other asthma therapies

    To assess changes in other asthma therapies at 6 and 12 months post enrollment compared to baseline based on prescribed medication as documented in EMRs.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  8. Treatment switches (change in prescribed therapies) over time and time on treatment.

    To assess changes in other asthma therapies over time and time on treatment compared to baseline based on prescribed medication as documented in EMRs.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  9. Assessment of the patient satisfaction with digital and analog healthcare

    To assess the patient-reported attitude towards digital and analog healthcare at months 3, 6, and 12 post enrollment through patient-reported experience measurement (patient PREM) questionnaires. The patient PREM questionnaire includes 16 questions with regard to the experience with the program, the communication/interaction and the evaluation of the program.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  10. Assessment of the patient-reported 1-year prior healthcare utilization

    To assess the patient-reported healthcare utilization (HCRU) at 12 months post enrollment compared with baseline assessment. The patient HCRU questionnaire includes 4 questions with regard to healthcare utilization.

    Measured: 12 months

  11. Assessment of the healthcare provider (physician) satisfaction with digital and analog healthcare

    To assess the healthcare provider-reported attitude towards digital and analog healthcare and provider-reported preferences in monitoring tools through provider-reported experience measurement (provider PREM) questionnaires at months 3, 6, and 12 post recruitment.

    The provider PREM questionnaire assessing the satisfaction with digital and analog healthcare includes 15 questions with regard to the experience with the program, the communication/interaction and the evaluation of the program.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  12. Assessment of the provider preferences in digital versus analog healthcare monitoring.

    To assess the provider-reported preferences in monitoring tools through provider-reported experience measurement (provider PREM) questionnaires at months 3, 6, and 12 post recruitment.

    The provider PREM questionnaire assessing the preferences in digital and analog healthcare includes 3 questions with regard to integration and communication, medicinal benefit, and economic benefit.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  13. Assessment of the patient preferences towards remote monitoring and healthcare delivery.
