NCT ID: NCT05366010

Last Updated: 2025-07-31

Results Overview

Exacerbation of pulmonary disease is a worsening of pulmonary condition or an event requiring one or more of the following: * Hospitalization * Emergency Department visit * Unscheduled antibiotics * Unscheduled outpatient visit

Recruitment status

TERMINATED

Study phase

NA

Target enrollment

41 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

6 months pre-treatment and 6 months post-treatment with the Volara System

Participant Flow

Retrospective data was collected from a total of 41 patients. Two patients died prior to study start. Thus, these two patients were excluded from any safety analyses as they had no exposure to the Volara System.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and monthly for 6 months

Population: Pulmonary Function Tests were analyzed for the Full Analysis Set (N=33). Of the Full Analysis Set, 12 subjects had data available for Slow Vital Capacity. The number of participants analyzed at each timepoint reflects the patients who were strong enough and had coordination to have this measurement taken.

Slow Vital Capacity is the maximum volume that the subject can exhale in a single breath, following full inspiration. The measure is taken using a slow consistent exhalation.

Population: Pulmonary Function Tests were analyzed for the Full Analysis Set (N=33). Of the Full Analysis Set, 10 subjects had data available for Peak Cough Flow. The number of participants analyzed at each timepoint reflects the patients who were strong enough and had coordination to have this measurement taken.

Peak Cough Flow is a pulmonary function measure that evaluates maximum peak flow generated during a cough maneuver. It will be measured with a hand-held spirometer.

Timeframe: Total number of days the subject had the device (approximately up to 6 months of OLE therapy)

Population: Device usage information was only available for 18 of the 33 subjects as the remaining subjects did not return the Volara System. Some subjects retained the device beyond the 6-month active treatment period.

Adherence to the OLE treatment regimen was presented as Average Daily Volara System Usage. This was calculated by dividing the total minutes of device use by the total number of days the subject had the device.
