Multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded controlled study of safety and effectiveness of the PneumRx, Inc. RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil (RePneu LVRC) System
The purpose of this study is to provide the lung volume reduction coil treatment procedure to patients who were randomized to the control group in study CLN0009, and obtain safety and effectiveness data on these patients.
The purpose of this story is to identify key radiographic variables that are predictive of symptomatic improvement in those patients undergoing endobronchial valve placement.

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR), utilizing minimal invasive placement of endobronchial valves, has emerged as a new therapeutic option. Early trial data demonstrated statistically and clinically significant improvement in FEV1, 6 minutes walk (6MW) distance, and quality of life. However, following the procedure, there are currently no good early predictors of symptomatic benefit. Often, patients wait several months to ...
