Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Co-primary outcome parameters are: (1) to detect the difference in expression<br /><br>of PECAM-1 (CD31) on pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (pMVECs) per<br /><br>micrometer alveolar septum present in lung tissue harvested from patients at<br /><br>LVRS 2 after 4 weeks of treatment with allogeneic MSC or placebo and (2) to<br /><br>measure the difference between MSC and placebo treatment in change in CO<br /><br>diffusion capacity over a period of 3 years following the second LVRS.</p><br>
