About this study

Official title: A Study of the Use of Chartis System to Optimize Subject Selection for Endobronchial Lung Volume Reduction (ELVR) in Subjects With Heterogeneous Emphysema

Use of the Chartis® Assessment System prior to EBV Treatment

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center study which will enroll up to 120 patients. Subjects will undergo a Chartis Assessment prior to EBV treatment. The Chartis assessment will determine the presence or absence of collateral ventilation, a potential determining factor in the success of EBV therapy. This study is not randomized; all subjects are eligible to receive EBV Treatment, regardless of Chartis Assessment outcome. Follow-up data will only be collected on those patients that meet the Chartis inclusion criteria.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Chartis SystemDevice

    The Chartis System provides a value that represents the quantification of the average resistance to airflow through collateral airways.

  • Endobronchial Valve (EBV) TreatmentDevice

    The endobronchial valve is designed to induce target lobe volume reduction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chartis System and Endobronchial Valve (EBV) Treatment in people with Emphysema, run by Pulmonx Corporation at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany, Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Jan 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lung Volume Change (time frame: 30 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01101958, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2017.
