A Study to Assess the Reliability/Feasibility of Using Emerald Touchless Sensor for Scratching and Sleep Quantification in a Subset of Participants From PEDISTAD Study (OBS15333; NCT03687359)

Completed
Conditions
Dermatitis Atopic
Registration Number
NCT05235724
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary objective: To explore and quantify the association between nighttime scratching and sleep patterns objectively in pediatric participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) using an innovative Emerald touchless sensor.

Secondary objective: To evaluate the feasibility of using the Emerald touchless sensor in a pediatric clinical trial setting.

Detailed Description

16 weeks

  • Participant must have home access to reliable and operational Wi-Fi and broadband internet at screening and throughout the study period.
  • Participants/parents must have a device (mobile phone, tablet or computer) to record daily itch and sleep disturbance at screening and throughout the study period.
  • Participant agrees to sleep by himself/herself (ie, with no other individuals or pets) in the monitored bedroom for the duration of the study (if not all times, at least 5 days a week for a minimum of 5 hours/night for a total of 16 weeks).
  • Signed informed consent by the parent/legally acceptable representative and assent by the participant appropriate to the participant's age.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Correlation between weekly averages of Emerald nightly scratching events/hour and Emerald derived sleep efficiencyWeek -1 (baseline) to week 12

Total no. of scratching events and scratching duration within each sleep stage each night will be calculated. Sleep efficiency: total time spent in a sleep stage (Stage 2, 3 or Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage) relative to the total time in bed will be expressed as a %. Total time in bed: time from when the person enters the bed area and they become relatively static to waking up for the day. Correlation coefficient will be derived using data pairs from baseline through 12 weeks using evaluable data.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage (%) of nights with unusable dataWeek -1 (baseline) to week 12

The weekly average values (both baseline and post baseline, Emerald and participant reported) will be considered evaluable if they are based on at least 3 evaluable nightly values. Nights with unusable Emerald data are defined as nights with no data being collected by the device for any reason or the data collected were unevaluable.
