REal-time Data Monitoring for Shared Adaptive, Multi-domain and Personalised Prediction and Decision Making for Long-term Pulmonary Care Ecosystems (RE-SAMPLE) (RE-SAMPLE)

December 9, 2025 updated by: Job van der Palen, Medisch Spectrum Twente

The main objective of this RE-SAMPLE cohort study is to identify from a real-world data (RWD) set that will be collected, a subset of data that can be potentially used as important predictors and parameters for disease progression of COPD and complex chronic conditions, and multi-morbid exacerbations. The secondary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of RWD collection from a patient's perspective.

Study design: This is a prospective observational cohort study to collect RWD in patients with COPD and complex chronic conditions, with a maximum of 38 months of follow-up. Measurements are performed and RWD are collected by using the Healthentia mobile phone application at baseline (e.g. patient characteristics), daily (e.g. symptom diary), during follow-up visits and at deterioration, and from hospital data (e.g. healthcare visits). The choice of parameters and measurement tools that will be collected during the cohort will be updated every three months during the first year of the cohort (via protocol amendments). These updates are based on citizen-design sessions and on new literature insights. Prognostic models will be developed including predictors derived from the RWD collection.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

We aim to enroll 710 patients with both COPD and complex chronic conditions over 28 months (July 2021 until October 2023). Patients will be followed-up for a 38-month period (July 2021 until August 2024). These patients will be recruited from one of the three pilot sites (n=263 from Medisch Spectrum Twente, Netherlands); n=263 from Policlinico Universitario Fondazione Agostino Gemelli, Italy; n=184 from Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikum, Estonia.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical diagnosis of COPD according to the GOLD criteria [5] (FEV1 < 80% of the predicted value and FEV1/FVC < 0.70);
  • Patients can be included both at stable state and during exacerbation/hospitalization;
  • At least one comorbidity:

diabetes mellitus (glucocorticoid-induced, or stable type 1 or 2), chronic heart failure (clinical diagnosis according to the ESC guidelines), ischaemic heart disease (history of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris), active symptoms of anxiety and/or depression (≥11 Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale , and/or anxiety or depression symptoms being treated at the time of inclusion);

  • Under treatment at one of the pilot sites (MST, TUK, GEM);
  • >40 years of age;
  • Smoker or ex-smoker;
  • Able to understand, read and write the language spoken in the country of the pilot site.
  • Accessibility to internet;
  • Written informed consent from the subject prior to participation.

Furthermore, 25% of the patients should also have ≥ 2 exacerbations, defined as respiratory problems that required a course of oral corticosteroids / antibiotics in the two years preceding study entry; and/or ≥ 1 hospitalisation for respiratory problems in the two years preceding study entry; and/or modified MRC (mMRC) score of 3 or 4 (COPD patients with these scores have a higher chance of exacerbating).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Serious other diseases with a low survival rate;
  • Presence of any other active lung disease (e.g., sarcoidosis);
  • Severe psychiatric illness, diagnosed by anamnesis;
  • Maintenance therapy with antibiotics
  • Patients with cognitive impairment (Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) < 24)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Predictors for exacerbations of COPD and comorbidities
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2.5 years.
Prognostic performance of the validated predictive model for COPD and comorbid exacerbations and disease progression from RWD. The measures for progression will be survival, based on all-cause mortality, as well as morbidity. Morbidity is defined as time until first hospitalisation for an acute exacerbation of COPD and CCC, time until first moderate COPD exacerbation, time until first pneumonia, and total number of COPD and CCC exacerbations (extracted from daily symptom diaries) and pneumonia.
Through study completion, an average of 2.5 years.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Feasibility of the RWD collection.
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
This relates to the usability of the application for data collection. The system usability scale will be used as a benchmarking tool that measures the level of usability.
Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Feasibility of the RWD collection.
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Assessment of the user experience associated with the data collection. The User Experience Questionnaire will be used to assess the user experience and as a benchmark. Furthermore, patients will be given the opportunity to articulate also in their own words how they experience the RWD collection.
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
