Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) Fissure Completion Prior to Zephyr® Endobronchial Valve Insertion...

Pulmonary Emphysema

Prospective, multi-centre, pilot study aimed to evaluate the effect of Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) fissure completion on the efficacy of endobronchial valve insertion (Zephyr Valve) in the treatment of subjects with severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who exhibit collateral ventilation.

First in Human Study to Assess an Implant to Treat Severe Emphysema

Emphysema or COPD

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of an implant for severe emphysema in up to 30 participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is it safe? Does it work? Participants who meet eligibility criteria will have up to two procedures 30 days apart, in which up to 3 implants will be placed in each lung during the procedure(s). Participants will be asked to return for follow-up visits at 30 days, and 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure(s).

Doxycycline for Emphysema in People Living With HIV (The DEPTH Trial)

EmphysemaHIV

The purpose of this study is to determine if doxycycline will reduce progression of emphysema in people living with HIV. The secondary objectives are to examine the effects of doxycycline on change in quantity of emphysema, six minute walk distance, patient reported outcomes, ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity. Secondary objectives will also describe the safety and tolerability of doxycycline and determine if doxycycline is associated with development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

Study to Assess Safety, Feasibility, and Preliminary Efficacy of the Apreo Implant for Severe Emphysema...

Emphysema or COPD

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of an implant for severe emphysema in up to 30 participants at up to 5 study centers located in Europe and the United Kingdom. The main questions this clinical trial aim to answer are: Is it safe? Does it work? Participants who meet eligibility criteria will have up to two procedures 30 days apart, in which up to 3 implants will be placed in each lung during the procedure(s). Participants will be asked to return for follow-up visits at 30 days, and 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure(s).

Combined Zephyr Valve System With Inter-lobar Fissure Completion for Lung Volume Reduction in Emphysema...

Emphysema or COPD

The purpose of this protocol is to perform a pilot prospective randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the potential role of lung fissure completion strategy (experimental intervention) in addition to endobronchial valve (EBV) placement (representing "standard-of-care") in select patients with severe COPD/emphysema and with evidence for <95% fissure completion between adjacent lung lobes. In select patients, lung fissure completion strategy will be performed by either video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS)-guided or robotic-guided stapling along the lung fissures in an attempt to reduce collateral ventilation and determine whether or not this experimental strategy will improve outcome following subsequent EBV placement. EBV placement will follow successful VATS-guided or robotic-guided fissure stapling. The study will enroll approximately 20 patients at BIDMC, and outcomes will focus on procedure-related complications, physiological measurements (ex., FEV1 by pulmonary function testing) and clinical symptoms (i.e., questionnaires). Patient will be followed for 3-month period, receiving usual standard of care during the 3 months of follow-up. The goal of this protocol is to determine if elimination of significant collateral lung ventilation between lung lobes is possible, and whether such strategy to eliminate collateral lung ventilation between lobes improves outcomes following subsequent EBV placement (i.e. promotes atelectasis of diseased lung segments) in the management of severe COPD/emphysema in appropriate candidates. For subjects in the medical management control group, upon completion of the 3-month F/U period, they will be eligible for EBV if they choose.

Inter-lobar Fissure Completion in Patients With Failed Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction

Emphysema or COPD

The purpose of this protocol is to perform a pilot prospective controlled clinical trial to evaluate the potential role of lung fissure completion with pleural adhesiolysis strategy (experimental intervention) in severe emphysema/COPD patients with failed bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) via the use of endobronchial valves (EBVs) therapy. In select patients, the lung fissure completion with adhesiolysis strategy will be performed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) guided stapling along the lung fissures to reduce collateral ventilation with adhesions removal and determine whether this experimental strategy will improve outcomes after failed BLVR in patients with severe emphysema/COPD.

A Multicenter, Prospective Trial of the IAB in Adults Suffering From COPD/Emphysema

EmphysemaPulmonary Disease1 more

The Pulmair Implantable Artificial Bronchus (IAB) is a device intended for implantation into the diseased bronchi of emphysema patients. The IAB is indicated for bronchoscopic treatment of adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)/emphysema to relieve hyperinflation and allow bidirectional ventilation of the affected lobes. The objective of this trial is to demonstrate a suitable benefit/risk profile to support a subsequent trial of the safety and effectiveness of the IAB to achieve its intended purpose. The trial will enroll 24 subjects implanted with IAB(s), at no more than three study centers.

Lung and Bone Marrow Transplantation for Lung and Bone Marrow Failure

Idiopathic Pulmonary FibrosisEmphysema or COPD

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a lung transplantation prior to bone marrow transplantation (BMT) would allow for restoration of pulmonary function prior to BMT, allowing to proceed to BMT, to restore hematologic function.
