A Study of the Use of Chartis System to Optimize Subject Selection for Endobronchial Lung Volume Reduction (ELVR)

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Emphysema
Interventions
Device: Chartis System
Device: Endobronchial Valve (EBV) Treatment
Registration Number
NCT01101958
Lead Sponsor
Pulmonx Corporation
Brief Summary

Use of the Chartis® Assessment System prior to EBV Treatment

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center study which will enroll up to 120 patients. Subjects will undergo a Chartis Assessment prior to EBV treatment. The Chartis assessment will determine the presence or absence of collateral ventilation, a potential determining factor in the success of EBV therapy. This study is not randomized; all subjects are eligible to receive EBV Treatment, regardless of Chartis Assessment outcome. Follow-up data will only be collected on those patients that meet the Chartis inclusion criteria.
