Study summary

This is a prospective, multi-center cohort study. 150 subjects with COPD and in stable stage will be included. Wearable device's physiological parameters will be continually collected, the investigators aim to explore whether consumer wearable devices are useful for early warning deterioration of COPD.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective cohort study. 150 subjects aged 35~80y with stable COPD will be recruited. After enrollment, subjects wear consumer wearable devices and install APP on their mobile phones. The first 7 days of wearing are to evaluate the stability of data collection and the subject compliance, and to correct the wrong wearing. The subjects are required to fill in the COPD symptom diary every day, and conducted online or offline follow-up at the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th, and 24th weeks after enrollment. The physiological parameters of wearable devices, including pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation, physical activity, electrocardiogram, and sleep, will be continuously collected during the study. The Department of Respiratory and Critical Care of Peking University First Hospital is responsible for this research. Primary outcome is the moderate or more severe COPD acute exacerbation events. The purpose of this study is to use consumer wearable devices to monitor the changes of COPD, and to establish a physiological parameters model of wearable device that can predict the acute exacerbation of COPD.

The study protocol has been approved by the Peking University First Hospital Institutional Review Board (IRB) (2021-397). Any protocol modifications will be submitted for the IRB review and approval.

Groups and cohorts

  • Wearing device

    The subjects are required to fill in the COPD symptom diary every day, and conducted online or offline follow-up at the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th, and 24th weeks after enrollment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Moderate or more severe COPD exacerbation

    Mild exacerbation: exacerbation requiring short-acting bronchodilator (SABD) therapy alone Moderate exacerbation: exacerbation requiring SABD and antimicrobials with or without oral corticosteroids Severe exacerbation: exacerbation requiring hospitalization or emergency, intensive care unit (ICU) treatment.

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in symptoms (assessed by COPD Assessment Test, CAT)

    The change in CAT score is calculated by the difference in CAT score during follow-up.

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Changes in symptoms (assessed by the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scores)

    The change in mMRC score is calculated by the difference in CAT score during follow-up.

    Time frame: 6 months

  3. Changes in post-bronchodilator FEV1

    Post-bronchodilator FEV1 is measured by trained staff. The change in post-bronchodilator FEV1 is defined as the difference in FEV1 between week 24 follow-up and enrollment.

    Time frame: 6 months

  4. Changes in post-bronchodilator FEV1%

    Post-bronchodilator FEV1% is measured by trained staff. The change in post-bronchodilator FEV1% is defined as the difference in FEV1 between week 24 follow-up and enrollment.

    Time frame: 6 months

  5. Changes in post-bronchodilator FVC

    Post-bronchodilator FVC is measured by trained staff. The change in post-bronchodilator FVC is defined as the difference in FEV1 between week 24 follow-up and enrollment.

    Time frame: 6 months

  6. Changes in post-bronchodilator FVC%

    Post-bronchodilator FVC% is measured by trained staff. The change in post-bronchodilator FVC% is defined as the difference in FEV1 between week 24 follow-up and enrollment.

    Time frame: 6 months

  7. Changes in post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC

    Post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC is measured by trained staff. The change in post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC is defined as the difference in FEV1 between week 24 follow-up and enrollment.

    Time frame: 6 months

  8. Herat rate parameters

    A wearable device worn by the subject continuously monitors heart rate parameters, from which parameters such as heart rate can be obtained.

    Time frame: 6 months

  9. Blood oxygen saturation

    A wearable device worn by the subject continuously monitors blood oxygen saturation.

    Time frame: 6 months

  10. Physical parameters from wearable device

    A wearable device worn by the subject continuously monitors physical parameters, from which parameters such as steps can be obtained.

    Time frame: 6 months

  11. Sleep parameters from wearable device

    A wearable device worn by the subject continuously monitors sleep parameters, from which parameters such as sleep duration can be obtained.

    Time frame: 6 months

  12. Wearing compliance

    Compliance is defined as the ratio of the time of wearing a device to the total study time.

    Time frame: 6 months

  13. Data loss rate

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2023, 15 months after the start.

Of 330 non-industry observational studies under Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 86. This study's planned 15 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 429 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 62.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 3, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
