"We are grateful to all of the patients for their willingness to participate in the study, as well as the investigators and their teams for their hard work and considerable skill that has made this study possible," said Tony Keating, CEO and Managing Director of ResApp Health. "We are excited to reach this important milestone, which brings us closer to our goal of providing a rapid and accurate diagnostic tool to aid clinicians in making better informed treatment decisions."
With enrolment complete, the study now enters the data verification phase, where clinical and radiologic adjudication will be conducted for the remaining patients and final source data verification site visits will be performed. Following data verification the analysis team will prepare top-line results, which are expected in July.
About the SMARTCOUGH-C StudySMARTCOUGH-C is a multi-site, double blind, prospective clinical study to investigate ResAppDx for the diagnosis of respiratory disease in infants and children using cough sounds. The study aims to enrol up to 1,500 patients aged 29 days to 12 years. The co-primary endpoints of the study are the diagnosis of pneumonia compared to clinical and radiologic diagnosis. Secondary endpoints are diagnosis of upper respiratory tract infection, lower respiratory involvement, croup, asthma/reactive airways disease and bronchiolitis compared with a clinical diagnosis. A range of smartphone models are used. Details of the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02973282).
