About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open-label, Single-arm, Multicenter Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the OL-BF-001 for Severe Emphysema

This is a multicenter,single-arm,open-label study designed to evaluate improvement of lung function and safety after treatment with OL-BF-001 for severe emphysema.

OL-BF-001 consists of a bronchial valve, deployment catheter, loader and airway sizing kit. A bronchial valve is a small, umbrella-shaped, one-way valve that is placed inside the airways of one lung. It is used to redirect air from the less healthy to the more healthy parts of the lung. This helps to reduce over-inflation and may improve overall lung function and quality of life for people living with emphysema.

What participants receive

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

  • OL-BF-001Device

    Subjects assigned to this study will undergo a bronchoscopic procedure to have valves placed in the most diseased lobe of the lung to occlude all segments of the lobe. The subjects will also receive medical management.

What is being measured

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

  1. responder rate after deployment of valves

    definition of responder: St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) improving and Pulmonary Function improving (either Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) improving or Inspiratory Capacity (IC) improving)

    Measured: 6months after deployment of valves

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in exercise capacity as measured by Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

    Measured: before deployment of valves and 6months after deployment of valves

  2. Change in dyspnea as measured by Baseline and Transition Dyspnea Indexes(BDI-TDI)

    Measured: before deployment of valves and 6months after deployment of valves

  3. Change in health status as measured by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ)

    Measured: before deployment of valves and 6months after deployment of valves

  4. Change in dyspnea as measured by Medical Research Council, Modified (mMRC) Questionnaire

    Measured: before deployment of valves and 6months after deployment of valves

  5. Change in pulmonary function as measured by FEV1,Forced Vital Capacity(FVC),Vital Capacity(VC),Residual Volume(RV),IC,Total Lung Capacity(TLC),RV/TLC,Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide(DLCO)

    Measured: before deployment of valves and 6months after deployment of valves

  6. Change in target lobe volume as measured by Quantitative CT (QCT)

    Measured: before deployment of valves and 6months after deployment of valves

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OL-BF-001 in people with Emphysema, run by Olympus Corporation at 10 sites in Japan.

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 11 inclusion and 25 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Japan. 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

responder rate after deployment of valves (time frame: 6months after deployment of valves). 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 28 Aug 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
