Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Study Outcomes * Safety The safety assessments include the incidence of complications and adverse events. * Performance Primary: Improvement is shown at 6 months when at least one of the following is achieved: * change in FEV1 of greater than or equal to 12% (FEV1 >=12%) from baseline; * decrease in SGRQ (Total) of 4 points or more from baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in FVC, RV, RV/TLC, lung volume CT Scan, 6MWT, cycle ergometry, mMRC dyspnea score, and EQ-5D.
