Case Study: Insomnia Trial • Study details • International trial to treat insomnia in subjects with Major Depressive Disorder • Site Visits spaced up to 4 weeks apart • Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16) completed weekly at home. • Data available in real-time for review by site coordinators and sponsors
eMail Alert From: studySupport@phtcorp.com [mailto:studySupport@phtcorp.com] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 5:17 AM To: undisclosed-recipients Subject: Urgent – study participant Suicidal Ideation Alert DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE! Dear Investigator, A Subject answered the QIDS question 12 in a manner that indicates suicidal ideation. Please contact the subject immediately and determine if the subject remains eligible for the trial. Please contact Dr. Smith, M.D. at 973-986-3456 if you have any questions. Dr. Smith will be contacting you within 24-48 hours to discuss the subject. Sincerely, The QIDS Alert System
Recording PEF Values We conclude that: 1) compliance with daily peak expiratory flow assessments is generally poor (…) and 2) a substantial percentage of values (22%) is invented. Conclusions- Peak flow diaries kept by asthmatic children are unreliable. Electronic peak flow meters should be used if peak flow monitoring is required in children with asthma.
eSense Case Study: Global Asthma Trial • Study details • International trial with > 500 subjects in 9 countries using portable electronic PEF meter • Subjects take morning and evening PEF values using an eSense PiKo meter by Ferraris Respiratory • Data is available in real-time for review by site coordinators and sponsors
PEF Values Alerts Diary Alerts The following specifications should generate a patient diary alert: Peak Flow measurement less than 50% of Subject’s personal best Explanation: The LP will update and store the Subject’s personal best Peak Flow (morning or evening) on an on-going basis, then compare every new entry to this stored value. If the new Peak Flow measurement is less than to 50% of this stored value, the LP will alert. Alert: “You have indicated a large drop in Peak Flow. Please contact your Study Coordinator.” Example Day 5: Subject enters 300 (LP stores personal best) Day 50: Subject enters 325 (LP updates personal best) Day 149: Subject enters 155 – LP alerts
Case Study: Disease Management Challenge:Reduce hospitalizations and deaths due to COPD exacerbations; improve patient lung function and quality of life. Methods:Subjects use the LogPad daily to answer questions, which are scored in real time; if the score crosses certain thresholds, patients are instructed to contact the hospital’s pulmonary call center for instruction.
Clinician Reaction “This technology, which could easily be used with other diseases, has a truly great impact on patients’ quality of life and the disease cost and burden on society,” Dr. Wissam Chatila Temple Lung Center
Patient Reaction "With the (LogPad) you have a daily routine, seven days a week, so you can't miss it. You can't go wrong … This here keeps me out of the hospital as much as possible. That's what I love about it." Edward GoldwireCOPD patient
