About this study

Multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded controlled study of safety and effectiveness of the PneumRx, Inc. RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil (RePneu LVRC) System

Read the detailed description

This will be a prospective, multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded, controlled study comparing outcomes between the LVRC and Control Groups. Subjects will be block randomized in an LVRC (Treatment) to Control ratio of 1:1. The randomization will be stratified by homogeneous versus heterogeneous emphysema, to support a balance of patients with differing heterogeneity in both the LVRC and Control Groups.

What participants receive

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

  • RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil SystemDevice

    The LVRC group will undergo two bronchoscopic sessions under general or moderate sedation. During the procedure, subjects will be treated with Coils according to the Instructions for Use.

Study groups in NCT01608490
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil SystemExperimentalThe RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil System is an implantable device, delivered through a fiber-optic bronchoscope. This is a two part system that consists of 1) sterile Nitinol Coils and 2) a sterile, disposable, single-use (single-patient) Delivery System consisting of a Guidewire, Catheter, Cartridge, and Forceps.
Receives: Device: RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil System
Control arm is standard medical careNo interventionThe Control Group will not undergo any bronchoscopies for Coil placement and will not receive prophylactic antibiotics or steroids before and after 'treatment' or chest x-rays in connection with the 'treatment' visits. The frequency of visits to the Study Doctor or designee will be similar to the LVRC Group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Meters: 6 Minute Walk Test - Change From Baseline to 12 Months Follow up

    mean absolute change from baseline at 12 months in the 6 Minute Walk Test comparing test and control groups (median if skewed)

    Measured: baseline through 12 months follow up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mean Percent Change in FEV1 From Baseline to 12 Months

    Mean percent change in FEV1(Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) at 12 months (median if skewed)

    Measured: BL to 12 months

  2. St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Mean Absolute Change From Baseline to 12 Months

    mean absolute difference in SGRQ results comparing BL to 12 months, LVRC vs. Control, score is on a scale from 0 to 100, negative change will be a better outcome.

    Measured: BL to 12 months

  3. 6MWT Responder Analysis

    6MWT Responder Analysis: Responder is defined as those with an improvement of greater than or equal to 25 meters

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil System in people with Emphysema, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 29 sites in 6 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 10 inclusion and 22 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 29 sites in United States, France, Canada, Germany, Netherlands and 1 more country. 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 27 Jun 2017). 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?

Meters: 6 Minute Walk Test - Change From Baseline to 12 Months Follow up (time frame: baseline through 12 months follow up). 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 NCT01608490, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
