Study summary

The study aims to assess the usability and safety of use of MuCopilot, a smartphone application that measures objective data on lung function, global exercise capacity and patient reported outcomes of patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). These data are collected during unsupervised digital tests performed in the patient's home environment between consultations.

The primary objective is to validate the usability and safety of use, in order to assure that the patients use the medical device as intended without any unacceptable error of use and without unacceptable risk.

The study will include 17 CF patients and will be conducted in France. They will participate in 1 inclusion visit and 1 visit in-clinic (1h30).

Patients will be able to download the free MuCopilot mobile application. During the visit, patients will complete 3 digital tests in order to monitor CF functions (cough, dyspnea \& walking) and 1 symptom questionnaire.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Validation of usability (1)

    Use error : Any deviation from the instructions for use that does not result in a response from the medical device other than what the manufacturer intended. Validated if there is no unacceptable use error.

    Time frame: 2 hours

  2. Validation of usability (2)

    Task completion rate: percentage of use scenarios completed without observation of an unacceptable error. The unacceptable nature of an error is determined according to the risk analysis process covered by ISO 14971:2019. Validated if the success rate on each task must reach 78% at minimum.

    Time frame: 2 hours

  3. Validation of no safety critical of use

    Safety critical error: a user error that causes a safety incident, where safety is defined as the appearance of a hazardous situation and the related harms linked to an unacceptable risk, as stated in the application version of Risk Analysis. Validated if there is no safety critical error has been identified during the evaluation.

    Time frame: 2 hours

  4. Validation of ease of use

    The MuCopilot solution will be considered as easy to use, if the perceived ease of use" mean score reaches 7.8/10

    Time frame: 2 hours

Ran from Jul 2024 to primary completion in Jul 2024, 0 months.

Of 212 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cystic Fibrosis, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48. This study's 0 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 227 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48.

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 Jan 29, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
