An Evaluation of the AeriSeal System for CONVERTing Collateral Ventilation Status in Patients With Severe Emphysema: The CONVERT II Trial
Pulmonx Corporation
Summary
This is a prospective, open-label, multi-center, single-arm study planned to enroll 200 subjects with heterogeneous emphysema and collateral ventilation (CV) in the target lobe. Subjects will undergo instillation of AeriSeal Foam in the target lobe and subsequent assessment of CV status using Chartis Pulmonary Assessment System. Subjects with CV- status will then undergo placement of Zephyr Valve in the target lobe for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) and be followed for 24 months.
Description
This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm, pivotal trial with a 24-month follow-up to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AeriSeal System to block CV. The study plans to enroll up to 200 subjects at up to 35 clinical centers in US and OUS. Study subjects will be patients with severe, heterogeneous emphysema and collateral ventilation in the lobe targeted who are candidates for BLVR. Subjects meeting initial eligibility will undergo a bronchoscopy procedure under general anesthesia during which the presence of CV will be confirmed using Chartis. All enrolled subjects meeting final…
