Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Randomized Study to Evaluate the Effect of Reminder Notifications and Motivational/Adaptive Messaging on Treatment Adherence (NCT NCT03379233)

NCT ID: NCT03379233

Last Updated: 2021-01-05

Results Overview

On-time treatment adherence was defined as percentage of days on which the participant inhaled at least one dose on-time. Dose inhaled on-time was a dose inhaled within (+ or -) 2 hours of the agreed predefined preferred daily inhalation time (PIT). PIT was defined by the participant at study start.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline 6 weeks, intervention 24 weeks

Population: Due to technical issues, the actual time and day of inhaler use from the point of resetting could not be evaluated. Therefore data for this outcome measure were not collected and reported.

On-time treatment adherence was defined as percentage of days on which the participant inhaled at least one dose on-time. Dose inhaled on-time was a dose inhaled within (+ or -) 2 hours of the agreed predefined preferred daily inhalation time (PIT). PIT was defined by the participant at study start.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline 6 weeks, intervention 24 weeks

Population: Due to technical issues, the actual time and day of inhaler use from the point of resetting could not be evaluated. Therefore data for this outcome measure were not collected and reported.

Total adherence was defined as percentage of days on which the participant inhaled at least one dose and represented the sum of on-time adherence and off-time adherence. Off-time adherence was defined as percentage of days on which the participant did not inhale the daily dose within the (+ or -) 2 hours of the predefined PIT, but outside. The number of doses not inhaled on-time was recorded by the Concept2 inhaler.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 21 - 24

Population: Due to the early discontinuation of the study, only very few participants were randomized (7) and no participant completed the last 4 weeks of intervention, required for the evaluation of the secondary efficacy outcome measure. Therefore data for this outcome measure was not collected and reported.

On-time treatment adherence was defined as percentage of days on which the participant inhaled at least one dose on-time. Dose inhaled on-time was a dose inhaled within (+ or -) 2 hours of the agreed predefined preferred daily inhalation time (PIT). PIT was defined by the participant at study start.
