SAVED-1 Trial Summary
This trial will compare the effects of the experimental intervention (lung fissure completion with adhesiolysis) to the standard of care (EBVs therapy) in patients with severe emphysema/COPD who have failed bronchoscopic lung volume reduction.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 40-75 with severe emphysema/COPD who didn't improve after a specific lung procedure (BLVR). Participants must be stable on low-dose steroids, vaccinated against pneumococcus and influenza, non-smokers for at least 4 months, and still have breathlessness. They should also have the valves from their previous treatment in place.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if performing a surgical technique called fissure completion with pleural adhesiolysis can help patients whose lungs didn't shrink enough after BLVR. This involves using video-assisted surgery to seal parts of the lung and remove scar tissue to potentially improve breathing.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include pain at the surgery site, shortness of breath, bleeding or air leaks from the lungs due to surgery complications. There's also a risk of infection post-surgery.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Incidence of severe adverse events
Prove that inter-lobar fissures can be completed to at least 95% in severe emphysema patients with previously failed bronchoscopic lung volume reduction
Secondary outcome measures
Percentage of patients to achieve target lung volume reduction
Percentage of patients with quality of life improvement
Percentage of patients with significant changes in pulmonary function testing

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Fissure completion and adhesiolysis armExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will undergo a VATS or robotic interlobar lung fissure completion with pleural adhesiolysis. After a 3 month follow-up period, patients will fill additional quality of life questionnaires including the St.George Respiratory Questionnaire, COPD Assessment tool, and the modified medical research council dyspnea scale. Pulmonary function testing and a high-resolution CT scan will be performed at the end of the 3-month postoperative follow-up.
