Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to evaluate MuCopilot, a smartphone application to measure objective data on lung function (cough and dyspnea tests), global exercise capacity (walking test) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) 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 demonstrate the correlation of the MuCopilot digital tests at home (D1) with the results of their standard counterparts (D0) carried out in-clinic.

A secondary objective is to determine the accuracy, reliability and reproducibility of tests results, as well as to study the test-retest of the PRO. The study also aims to assess the safety, usability, and satisfaction of the solution.

Exploratory objectives include evaluating the relationship between MuCopilot's scores and other standards such as FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio as well as to explore the correlation with the cough monitoring with patient's perception.

Patients will be able to download MuCopilot app. They will participate in 1 inclusion visit and 7 follow-up visits, scheduled at Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months

• 1 day.

The study will include 70 CF patients and will be conducted in France.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To demonstrate that the results of the MuCopilot digital tests at home (D1) are associated with the results of their standard counterparts (D0) carried out in-clinic.	A correlation coefficient will be used to assess the relationship between MuCopilot tests (MSPT) on Day 1 (at home) and the corresponding standard test on Day 0 (in the clinic). The objective will be achieved if the correlation coefficient reaches a minimum of 0.70. A head-to-head comparison will be performed on the following tests: MuCopilot "Mobile Sustained Phonation Test" (MSPT) scores (e.g. maximum phonation time calculated during a sustained phonation assessment) and the FEV1 (air volume exhaled during one second) measured by spirometry at the CF centres	During the first in-clinic visit : Day 0 and the first at-home assessment : Day 1
Primary	To demonstrate that the results of the MuCopilot digital tests at home (D1) are associated with the results of their standard counterparts (D0) carried out in-clinic.	A correlation coefficient will be used to assess the relationship between MuCopilot tests (MEWT) on Day 1 (at home) and the corresponding standard test on Day 0 (in the clinic). The objective will be achieved if the correlation coefficient reaches a minimum of 0.70. A head-to-head comparison will be performed on the following tests: MuCopilot "Mobile Endurance Walking Test" (MEWT), i.e. the walking distance (in metres) walked over six minutes on a hard, flat surface at home and the walking distance (in metres) measured during the 6 minute walk test (6MWT) in-clinic	During the first in-clinic visit : Day 0 and the first at-home assessment : Day 1
Secondary	To confirm that the results of the MuCopilot digital test at-home (M3-1) are correlated with their standard clinical counterparts performed in-clinic (M3).	According to the same validation principle as for the primaries outcomes, a correlation coefficient will be used to assess the relationship between MuCopilot MSPT and MWT tests at M3 - 1 (at-home) versus standard tests at M3 (in clinic): MuCopilot MSPT scores (sustained phonation time) (at-home) versus Spirometry score FEV1 (air volume exhaled during one second) (in-clinic); MuCopilot MEWT (distance in metres) (at-home) scores versus the 6MWT scores (distance in metres) (in-clinic).	During the last in-clinic visit : at Month 3 and the last at-home assessment Month 3 - 1 day
Secondary	To evaluate the correlation between MuCopilot the digital tests performed in-clinic, and the results of their standard counterparts performed in-clinic	A correlation coefficient will be used to assess the individual correlation between the MuCopilot tests and standard tests performed in-clinic: At D0: MSPT scores versus FEV1; MEWT scores versus 6MWT At M3; MSPT scores versus FEV1; MEWT scores versus 6MWT.	During the first in-clinic visit : Day 0 and the last in-clinic visit : Month 3
Secondary	To assess intra-patient test-retest reliability of the MuCopilot CF-Scan questionnaire	Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) will be used to assess reliability over time between D1 and D3 (on stable patients without signs or symptoms of CF exacerbation).; Descriptive analysis of at-home MuCopilot CF-Scan questionnaire between D1 and D3 (Bland-Altman, box plots, etc.).	During at-home visits at Day 1 and Day 3
Secondary	To assess the safety of the mobile application use.	Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAE) related to the use of the application.	Throughout the study for all visits in-clinic and at-home Day 0, Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3-1 day, Month 3
Secondary	To assess the satisfaction and user experience with MuCopilot.	Descriptive analysis of the answers collected in the patient's satisfaction and user experience questionnaires related to the use of MuCopilot.	Throughout the study, at-home at Day 7, Month 1, Month 3 - 1 day
Secondary	To assess at-home compliance to MuCopilot.	Descriptive analysis of the number of questionnaires completed or tests performed by patients divided by the number of questionnaires or tests expected by the protocol.	Throughout the study for all visits in-clinic and at-home Day 0, Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3-1 day, Month 3
Secondary	To evaluate the metric performance of the "Mobile Sleep Cough Monitoring Test" (MSCMT) at-home in comparison to ground truth results labelized by specialists. The data will be collected by the mobile application.	Performance metrics will be used to assess the ability of the digital MSCMT (Mobile Sleep Cough Monitoring Test) trained algorithm to register and automatically detect the cough sounds during sleep to derive : the time spent coughing (in second) : Automatic detection and calculation via MSCMT vs. manual detection and calculcation using annotated data from the mobile application audio record; the number of cough : Automatic detection and calculation via MSCMT vs. manual detection and calculation using annotated data from the mobile application audio record.	Throughout the study for all visits at-home Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3-1 day and all voluntary tests
Secondary	To evaluate the association between the maximum phonation time determined automatically by the MuCopilot MSPT test at-home and the maximum phonation time evaluated by a trained evaluator on the same dataset.	A correlation coefficient will be used to assess the association between the maximum phonation time automatically determined by the MuCopilot MSPT test at-home and the maximum phonation time evaluated by a trained evaluator on the same data (at D1, D3, D5, D7, M1, M2, M3-1).	Throughout the study for all visits at-home Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3-1 day
Secondary	To evaluate the association between the results of the MSPT and MEWT tests scores in-clinic and the results of these same tests determined by the investigator.	A correlation coefficient will be used to assess the association between the results of the MSPT and MEWT tests scores in-clinic, and the results of these same tests measured simultaneously by the investigator with a stopwatch (time) and an odometer (metres) at D0 and M3.	During in-clinic visits at Day 0 and 3 months
Secondary	To assess the reproducibility between MuCopilot tests scores obtained in in-clinic and MuCopilot tests scores obtained at-home	The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) will be used to assess the reproducibility of MuCopilot tests MSPT and MEWT performed at : D1 (at-home) versus D0 (in-clinic); M3 -1 (at-home) versus M3 (in-clinic) The minimum ICC to reach is 0.8.	During in-clinic visits at Day 0 and Month 3, and during the at-home visits at Day 1 and Month 3-1 day
Secondary	To assess the test-retest reliability of MuCopilot tests scores obtained at-home	The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) will be used to assess the reliability of MuCopilot tests performed at home at D1, D3, D5 and D7, for MSPT and MEWT digital tests.; The minimum ICC to reach is 0.8.	During at-home visits at Day 1, Day 3, Day 5 and Day 7
