ResApp Provides SMARTCOUGH-C May Study Update

Brisbane, Australia, 30 May 2017 -- ResApp Health Limited (ASX:RAP), a leading digital health company developing smartphone applications for the diagnosis and management of respiratory disease, today announced that the initial phase of its SMARTCOUGH-C study is nearing completion. As of 25 May, 1,157 patients have been enrolled across the three participating hospitals and ResApp is pleased to report that it has reached its target recruitment numbers for all study endpoints, including those for pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, lower respiratory tract involvement, croup, asthma/reactive airways disease and bronchiolitis. Principal investigators at the hospital sites and the managing CRO, INC Research now require two weeks (until the week ending 16 June) to close out recruitment before final data verification begins.

“Recruiting 1,157 paediatric patients in less than five months is a significant achievement and we are pleased to have reached the target enrolment numbers for all of our planned endpoints, which span a broad spectrum of childhood respiratory disease,” said Tony Keating, CEO and Managing Director of ResApp Health.

Following this initial phase, clinical and radiologic adjudication will be conducted for the remaining patients and final source data verification site visits will be performed by INC Research. The analysis team will then prepare the top-line results, which are expected in July, while in parallel ResApp and its FDA consultants will finalise the de novo submission for ResAppDx.
