Read the detailed description
This study is a prospective, single-center feasibility study to acquire more knowledge regarding the NeuRx DPS and develop a routine in the optimal pacing of the diaphragm with this system during the weaning period from mechanical ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit in patients after bilateral lung transplant. The objectives are to evaluate the safety and technical performance of DPS by assessing:
- the immediate safety and technical surgical results of implantation
- the safety and tolerability of use and removal until patient discharge from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or hospital
- the effects of diaphragm pacing on MV interaction, diaphragm force, fatigue resistance, and diaphragm electromyography (EMG)
- Conditions
- Chronic Obstructive Airway Disease
- Being tested
- NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System
- Keywords
- Diaphragm pacing, Respiratory assistance, Lung transplant
- Medical subject headings
- Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing SystemDevice
NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System electrodes are placed in the diaphragm during lung transplant surgery. The diaphragm will be continually paced until the patient is free from the ventilator or the patient is discharged from the ICU whichever. Diaphragm measurements are taken daily to assess tolerability and pacing success.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System (DPS)® | Experimental | The NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System (DPS)® is placed in the diaphragm during lung transplant. Receives: Device: NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing System |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Safety: Daily assessment of device or procedure-related adverse events until patient discharge.
Measured: 30 days
Tolerability: Patient withdrawal from treatment.
Measured: 30 days
Pacing success: Ability to ventilate the patient through diaphragm pacing with or without assistance of mechanical ventilation.
Measured: 30 days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Composite endpoint
Effects of diaphragm pacing on MV interaction, diaphragm force, fatigue resistance, and diaphragm electromyography (EMG).
Measured: 30 days

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?
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?
Safety: Daily assessment of device or procedure-related adverse events until patient discharge. (time frame: 30 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Apr 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
