Lung Volume Reduction Coils for Emphysema in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

Not Applicable

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Emphysema; Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency; Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
• Interventions: Device: Lung Volume Reduction Coil (PneumrX Inc.)

• Registration Number: NCT02273349
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Saarland

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil (LVRC) in patients with Alpha-1-Antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) caused emphysema. The hypothesis is that emphysema in AATD patients shows similar tissue destruction profile was well as symptoms and thus will respond favorably to LVRC treatment, demonstrating improvement in lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life relative to their baseline status.

14. Patient is on an antiplatelet agent (such as Plavix) or anticoagulant therapy (such as heparin or coumadin) or has not been weaned off prior to procedure
15. Patient has other condition that would interfere with completion of study, follow up assessments or that would adversely affect outcomes
16. Patient has severe homogeneous emphysema by CT scan.
