What participants receive

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

  • Cinenses Lung Volume Reduction Reverser SystemDevice

    Lung Volume Reduction Reverser System is show as figure 1-4, consists of lung volume reduction reverser (short as: reverser), conveyor, measuring guide wire and transporting sheath. Matrix of reverser is nickel titanium alloy, its surface is coated by polymer flexible film, at the end of the connection segment is specially designed connector, which is easy for the reverser's transport and recycling. The silica gel part at the far end of reverser makes it softer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of adverse events

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cinenses Lung Volume Reduction Reverser System in people with Emphysema, run by Lifetech Scientific (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Germany.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

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?

Incidence of adverse events (time frame: 3-month post final bronchoscopy). 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 29 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
