Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult subjects diagnosed with emphysematous type of COPD

Who may be able to join

  • Adult subjects diagnosed with emphysematous type of COPD.
  • CT scan indicates bilateral emphysema, with sufficient lung parenchyma for coil deployment (based on PneumRx CT scoring) criteria.
  • Subject has post-bronchodilator FEV1 ≤45% predicted.
  • Subject has Total Lung Capacity >100% predicted.
  • Subject has residual volume (RV) ≥175% predicted.
  • Subject has marked dyspnea scoring ≥2 on mMRC scale of 0-4.
  • Subject read, understood and signed the Informed Consent form.
  • Subject has received Pneumococcal and Influenza vaccinations consistent with local recommendations and/or policy.

Who cannot join

  • Subject has co-morbidities that may significantly reduce subject's ability to improve exercise capacity (e.g. severe arthritis, planned knee surgery) or baseline limitation not due to dyspnea.
  • Subject has a change in FEV1 >20% (or, for subjects with pre-bronchodilator FEV1 below 1 L, a change of > 200 mL) post-bronchodilator unless investigator can confirm by other means that subject does not have asthma.
  • Subject has severe gas exchange abnormalities as defined by:
  • PaCO2 >55 mm Hg
  • PaO2 <45 mm Hg on room air (High altitude criterion: PaO2 <30 mm Hg)
  • Subject has severe pulmonary hypertension defined by right ventricular systolic pressure >50 mm Hg via right heart catheterization and/or echocardiogram.

  • Subject has evidence of other severe disease (such as, but not limited to, lung cancer or renal failure), which in the judgment of the investigator may compromise survival of the subject for the duration of the study.
  • Subject is pregnant or lactating, or plans to become pregnant within the study timeframe.
  • Subject has an inability to tolerate bronchoscopy under moderate sedation or general anesthesia.
  • Subject has clinically significant bronchiectasis.
  • Subject has had previous LVR surgery, lung transplantation, lobectomy or other BLVR treatment in either lung.
  • Subject has participated in studies to treat COPD using high dose radiation.
  • Subject has been involved in pulmonary drug or device studies within 30 days prior to this study.
  • Subject is chronically taking >20 mg prednisone (or equivalent dose of a similar steroid) daily.
  • Subject requires high level chronic immunomodulatory therapy to treat a moderate to severe chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder.
  • Subject is on any type of antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy which cannot be stopped for seven (7) days prior to procedure.
  • Subject has a sensitivity or allergy to Nickel.
  • Subject has a known sensitivity to drugs required to perform bronchoscopy.
  • Subject has been diagnosed with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD).
  • Subject has any other disease, condition(s) or habit(s) that would interfere with completion of study and follow-up assessments, would increase risks of bronchoscopy or assessments, or in the judgment of the investigator would potentially interfere with compliance to this study or would adversely affect study outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD)

    Changes in distance traveled during a 6 minute walk test (6MWT). Initial baseline measurement was taken prior to the treatment with the RePneu coil and the second measurement was taken 12 months after the initial treatment of the RePneu coil. 6MWD was measured in meters.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 months post initial treatment

  2. Changes in 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD)

    Changes in distance traveled during a 6 minute walk test (6MWT). Initial baseline measurement was taken prior to the treatment with the RePneu coil and the second measurement was taken 3 months after final treatment of the RePneu coil. 6MWD was measured in meters.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months post final treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Emphysema, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 2 sites in Germany.

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 8 inclusion and 20 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 19 Jul 2021. 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. 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 25 Jun 2019). 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?

Changes in 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD) (time frame: Baseline, 12 months post initial treatment). The study lists 2 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 19 Jul 2021.
