简要总结
The purpose of this single arm post-market observational study is to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of the Simeox 200 airway clearance device in improving airway clearance in adult patients aged 18 to 85 with bronchiectasis and chronic mucus hypersecretion. The study aims to establish a baseline for wet sputum weight production using the Simeox 200 device. Additionally, the study aims to assess the short-term effects of Simeox 200 on various outcomes, including lung function, respiratory symptoms, and health-related quality of life.
The study participants will undergo the following steps:
- Baseline Visit (V0): Participants will attend a baseline visit for eligibility screening, consent, a physical exam, and baseline assessments of various relevant parameters such as lung function, SpO2, and Patient-Reported-Outcomes.
- Treatment Sessions (V1): Participants will perform two supervised treatment sessions with the Simeox 200 device at the clinic, during which sputum will be collected and weighed.
- Home Use : Participants will use the device at home twice daily for 2 weeks, recording their usage and symptoms in a daily electronic diary.
- Final Clinic Visit (V2): Participants will return for a final clinic visit for repeat assessments.
- Follow-up Phone Call (14 days after V2): Participants will receive a follow-up phone call to assess ongoing symptoms and health status.
详细描述
Airway clearance techniques (ACTs) are essential for removing excess bronchial secretions and preventing airway complications. However, their effectiveness relies on patient adherence and satisfaction. Simoex 200 is a novel airway clearance device that uses intermittent negative oscillating pressure to mobilize airway secretions from different parts of the lungs to central airways, facilitating expectoration. Preliminary studies in Europe on patients with chronic muco-obstructive lung diseases have demonstrated the effectiveness and good tolerance of previous generations of the device. This pilot study will evaluate the Simeox 200 device in a home care setting for patients with bronchiectasis and excessive mucus production. The results of this study will inform a future larger-scale clinical trial.

结局指标
主要结局

时间窗: From the first training session to the last, and up to one hour following each treatment session the day of training device visit.
Patients will be instructed during device training visit (V1) to spill all sputum into a pre-weighed pot from at least two supervised sessions. Immediately after collection, all sputum will be weighed on weighing scales with an accuracy of 0.01 grams.

- Change from baseline in Forced Expiratory Flow between 25% and 75% of vital capacity (FEF25-75%) at the final study visit after 14 days of treatment(From enrollment to the final study visit at 15 days)
- Change from baseline in Peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) at final study visit after 14 days of treatment(From enrollment to the final study visit at 15 days)
- Change from baseline in perceived respiratory symptoms assessed with the Breathlessness, Cough and Sputum Scale (BCSS) at 7 and 14 days of treatment(From enrollment to 7 and 14 days of treatment at home)
- The change from device training visit in wet sputum weight at the final study visit after 14 days of treatment(From device training visit to the final study visit at 15 days)
- The change from baseline in airway-disease health status assessed by the Chronic Airway Assessement Test (CAAT) and QOL - B questionnaire at the final study visit after 14 days of treatment(From enrollment to the final study visit at 15 days)
- The change from baseline in walking distance assessed with 6-minutes Walking Test (6MWT) at the final study visit after 14 days of treatment(From enrollment to the final study visit at 15 days)
- The change from baseline in borg dyspnea and fatigue score after 6MWT compared to borg dyspnea and fatigue score after 6MWT at the final study visit after 14 days of treatment respectively.(From enrollment to the final study visit at 15 days)
- The global patient satisfaction will be evaluated with Lickert scale at the final study visit after 14 days of treatment(At the final study visit at 15 days)
