To assess the overall feasibility of undertaking a definitive randomized controlled trial on the effects of tailored inhaler education by the GP/nurse supported by a smart spacer, in primary care treated adults with asthma
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Aim: To assess the overall feasibility of undertaking a definitive randomized controlled trial of the Smart Spacer device in primary care treated adults with asthma. In particular, we aim to: 1) inform patient recruitment speed, participation rate and sample size calculation for a definitive trial 2) assess patient and healthcare provider satisfaction with the smart spacer and 3) explore the distribution of medication adherence patterns (persistence and inhaler technique) and clinical outcomes.
Smart Spacer: The smart spacer used in this study is the Aerochamber Plus® with Flow Vu®. The smart spacer uses the same components as the existing CE-marked spacer. The smart spacer monitors both persistence and inhalationtechnique.
Methods: Single center, randomized controlled feasibility trial of 2 months. Patients will be recruited from 4 GP practices in the Netherlands. Patients (n=40) will use the smarts spacer for 1 month (t=-1). Then they will be randomized in two groups (t=0). The control group will get usual care, the intervention group will get tailored feedback and education on basis of data from the smart spacer. After 1 month (t=1) the study is ended and patients will get again their usual care.
Outcomes: At t=-1. t=0 and t=1 ACQ, WPAI an TAI questionnaires and FeNO test will be assessed. At t=0 and t=1 a lung function will be tested. At t=1 usability will be analyzed by the SUS questionnaire and structured interviews with 5 patients and all caregivers.
Doel van het onderzoek
The investigational treatment, tailored inhaler use education, supported by data generated by a smart spacer, leads to better adherence.
Onderzoeksopzet
at t=-1, t=0 en t=1 (months) earlier mentioned questionnaires will be taken, spirometry and FeNO test will be performed.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
the intervention group will receive personalized, tailored education by a GP/nurse supported by data of a smart spacer.
