Trial Outcomes & Findings for Digital Auscultation Test - IPF Data Collection (NCT NCT03503188)

NCT ID: NCT03503188

Last Updated: 2020-01-27

Results Overview

For each participants the auscultation sound files were collected at 12 points of the body. In each defined region of the participant's body, auscultation was to be performed to maximize the sound quality according to the investigator's experience. Auscultations were recorded using a Littmann Digital Stethoscope (Model 3200) and the 3M Littmann StethAssist software on a computer provided for the study. The unit of the measure is "Percentage of auscultation points collected per participants".

Participant Flow

Multicenter, single-visit study to collect new data of participants with confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary disease (IPF) and symptomatic controls (non-IPF). Participants were grouped based on their diagnosis at screening. Data for main study was collected from April2018 to July2018 and for substudy from September2018 to January2019.

All participants were screened for eligibility to participate in the trial. Participants attended specialist sites which would then ensure that all participants met all inclusion/exclusion criteria. Participants were not to be entered in the trial if any one of the specific entry criteria were not met.

Measure
IPF Group
All the participants with confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary disease (IPF) according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory Society (ERS) 2011 guideline, based on their diagnosis at screening were included in this group.
Non-IPF Group
All the participants with the symptomatic control group (non-IPF group). Patients of this control group had to be diagnosed with a confirmed current condition of asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), upper respiratory tract infection, acute bronchitis or pneumonia as the symptoms of these diseases are similar to the symptoms of IPF, based on their diagnosis at screening were included in this group.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (Visit 1)

Population: Main study- All participants entered main study set (ENMST): This included all participants for whom visit data were available and who did not take part in the substudy.

For each participants the auscultation sound files were collected at 12 points of the body. In each defined region of the participant's body, auscultation was to be performed to maximize the sound quality according to the investigator's experience. Auscultations were recorded using a Littmann Digital Stethoscope (Model 3200) and the 3M Littmann StethAssist software on a computer provided for the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (Visit 1)

Population: All Patients Entered Set (ENT): ENT included all participants (Main Study and Sub Study) for whom visit data were available.

Dyspnoea was assessed for participants as grade 0 and 1 of the modified MRC scale, ranging from 0 to 4 with '0´ being minor and '4´ being severe. Where, 0 = I only get breathless with strenuous exercise; 1. = I get short of breath when hurrying on level ground or walking up a slight hill; 2. = On level ground, I walk slower than people of the same age because of breathlessness, or have to stop for breath when walking at my own pace; 3. = I stop for breath after walking about 100 meters or after a few minutes on level ground; 4. = I am too breathless to leave the house or I am breathless when dressing.
