What participants receive

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

  • TLD Therapy (IPS SystemTM)Device

    Also called TLD Therapy, Targeted Lung Denervation Therapy

    Targeted Lung Denervation Therapy will be achieved bronchoscopically. As this is a single-arm, non-randomized study, it is anticipated that all patients who provide written informed consent and meet the protocol entry criteria will undergo treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary Safety Endpoint

    Safety will be evaluated as freedom from documented and sustained worsening of COPD directly attributable to the investigational device or procedure.

    Measured: 365 days post procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Technical Feasibility

    The ability to access the target treatment area and deliver RF energy to the target treatment site.

    Measured: At time of Treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TLD Therapy (IPS SystemTM) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Nuvaira, Inc. at 3 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 23 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in South Africa, 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Primary Safety Endpoint (time frame: 365 days post procedure). 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 NCT01483534, 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 23 Sep 2016.
