Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study for the Assessment of the Benefits of a Novel Mesh Nebulizer in the Treatment of Patients With Stable COPD (NCT NCT03933462)

NCT ID: NCT03933462

Last Updated: 2020-12-17

Results Overview

Device preference after 60 days of device use as determined by the nebulizer satisfaction questionnaire in stable ambulatory Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. The nebulizer satisfaction questionnaire is an 11 question survey developed to determine device satisfaction. 10 questions are answered on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being the worst and 10 being the best. The last question in the survey is in regards to device preference and is only asked at the end of the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 60 days

Population: One participant removed from the data set because they were on the incorrect standard of care device.

Device preference after 60 days of device use as determined by the nebulizer satisfaction questionnaire in stable ambulatory Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. The nebulizer satisfaction questionnaire is an 11 question survey developed to determine device satisfaction. 10 questions are answered on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being the worst and 10 being the best. The last question in the survey is in regards to device preference and is only asked at the end of the study.

Measure
InnoSpire Go
n=17 Participants
The InnoSpire Go is a handheld, single patient use, vibrating mesh nebulizer system designed to aerosolize liquid medications for respiratory disease. The device operates continuously once initiated and automatically switches off once the medication has been delivered. The device may be used in pediatric and adult populations, as permitted by the prescribed medication, and is suitable for use in home environments or hospital/clinic settings. InnoSpire Go: Participants will use for 30 days.
Jet Nebulizer
n=17 Participants
Jet Nebulizers are the standard delivery system for aerosolized medications. A nebulizer breaks up medical solutions into small droplets suspended in air (aerosol) so that they may be delivered to the patient's airways for respiratory therapy. Jet Nebulizer: Participants will use for 30 days.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and 30 days for each intervention

Population: One participant removed from the data set because they were on the incorrect standard of care device.

Change in quality of life scores (mean difference) after 30 days of each device use compared to baseline as determined by the Chronic Respiratory disease Questionnaire - Self-Report (CRQ-SR). The scores for each question in each dimension are simply added together. Using a seven-point scale for the responses, the minimum and maximum scores for each dimension are as follows: Minimum score Maximum score (Worst function is 1) (Best function is 7)

Timeframe: 30 days, 30 days

Population: One participant removed from the data set because they were on the incorrect standard of care device.

The change in the modified Borg score following 6MWT, where the visit's post-nebulizer Borg score will be used as the baseline for this endpoint. The change in the modified Borg score following nebulizer use, where the visit's pre-nebulizer Borg score will be used as the baseline for this endpoint. Difference in modified Borg score from pre-nebulizer to post-6MWT for each device. This is a scale that asks you to rate the difficulty of your breathing. It starts at number 0 where your breathing is causing you no difficulty at all and progresses through to number 10 where your breathing difficulty is maximal.
