Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of patient's learning in self-taking of prescribed asthma maintenance treatments and provided by JOE (a new DTX), on the number of severe exacerbations in children with an asthma graded 2, 3, 4 and 5 according to GINA classification.

Detailed Description

A new device, named JOE, manufactured by Ludocare, is available since 2019 in France. This new device, compact and connected, was designed to be easy to use by children suffering from chronic disease. JOE is a robot designed to improve compliance with asthama maintenance treatments.To confirm efficacy and safety of a patient's learning in self-taking of asthma maintenance treatments provided by JOE, it has been decided to carry out a clinical study in 4 to 11 years old patients and suffering from asthma graded 2, 3, 4 or 5 according to GINA classification. These patients will be recruited by pneumo-pediatricians at hospital or in private practice. The study is a phase 3, multi-center, prospective, open, 2-parallel groups, randomized and controlled study. Each patient will be randomly allocated in one of two studied treatment groups: standard asthma maintenace treatment (group SCT) vs standard asthma maintenance treatment + JOE (a new DTx) (group SCT + JOE). Patients meeting eligible criteria will be included at Day 0 (Visit V0). For each patient the maximal duration of this study will be 12 months. At day 7 a phone call is planned to evaluate patient/parent's motivation and to detect potential technical and/or therapeutic problems. Three visits are planned then after at4 (M4), 8 (M8) and 12 (M12) months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of the mean number of severe asthma exacerbations per patient between the two treatment groups during the 12-month follow-up.12 months

Evaluation of patient's learning in self-taking of prescribed treatments and provided by robot companion JOE on number of severe exacerbations needing systemic corticoids. Comparison, between both treatment groups, of number of severe exacerbations over 12 months of follow-up.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tolerance to the maintenance treatment evaluated by the number and type of adverse events12 months

Effect of the educational support for the patient when taking treatments and provided by the JOE companion robot on the tolerance of the maintenance treatment evaluated by the number and type of the adverse events declared to the investigator.

Effectiveness of the maintenance treatment measured with c-ACT12 months

Effect of the educational support for the patient when taking treatments and provided by the JOE companion robot on the maintenance treatment effectiveness measured with c-ACT score at each visit.

Global costs estimation evaluated by price12 months

Evaluation of the global treatment costs, including the treatment of intercurrent events linked to the disease and their possible consequences (unplanned medical consultations, hospitalizations...).
