PublicationTherapyNResultsConclusions
ELEVATE Randomized controlled trial

Klooster et al (19)
Coil treatment group and optimal medical therapy57At 6 months, analysis showed significantly greater improvement in favor of the coil group, with the following changes:

• SGRQ score: −8.6±4 and +2.1±3.5 points (P=0.001)

• FEV1: +7.9±5% versus a loss of -3.2±3% (P=0.001)
Coil treatment compared to control results in an improvement in lung function and quality-of-life benefits for up to 6 months in patients with emphysema and severe hyperinflation.
Optimal medical therapy34
RESET Randomized controlled trial

Shah et al (3)
Zoumet et al (6)
Coil treatment group and optimal medical therapy23At 6 and 12 months, respectively, significant improvements were observed in all outcome measures in the coil treatment group, with the following changes:
• SGRQ score: −7±12 and −6±14 points (P=0.01)
• 6MWD: +55±54 and +34±52 m (P=0.005)
• FEV1: +10±21% and +9±22% (P=0.002)
• FVC: +10±18% and +8±16% (P=0.004)
• RV: −0.34±0.8 L and −0.32±0.8 L (P=0.02)
Statistically and clinically meaningful benefits in quality of life, exercise capacity and pulmonary function in patients treated with coils are sustained twelve months after treatment.
Optimal medical therapy24
RENEW
Randomized controlled trial

Sciurba et al (8)
Coil treatment group and optimal medical therapy157At 12 months:
• The between-group SGRQ score improved −8.9 points (P < .001), favoring the coil group.
• Median change in 6MWD was 10.3m with coil treatment vs −7.6m with usual care, with a between-group difference of 14.6m (P = .02). Improvement of at least 25m occurred in 40.0% of patients in the coil group vs 26.9%with usual care (P = .01).
• The between-group difference in median change in FEV1was 7.0% (P < .001), favoring the coil group.
The use of endobronchial coils in patients with severe emphysema compared with usual care resulted in an improvement in median exercise tolerance at 12 months.
Optimal medical therapy158
REVOLENS
Randomized controlled trial

Deslee et al (9)
Coil treatment group and optimal medical therapy50At 6 and 12 months, respectively, improvements were observed in all outcome measures in the coil treatment group, with the following changes:
• SGRQ score: −11 and −9 points (P<0.00.01)
• 6MWD: +18 and -2 m (P=NS)
• FEV1: +9% and +8% (P=0.002)
• FVC: +15% and +14% (P=0.02)
• RV: −0.52 L and −0.47 L (P=0.004)
Bronchoscopic treatment with coils compared with usual care resulted in improved exercise capacity and quality of life.
Optimal medical therapy50
Prospective
clinical trial

Deslee et al (4)
Coil treatment60At 6 and 12 months, respectively, significant improvements (P<0.01) were observed in all outcome measures, with the following changes:
• SGRQ score: −12±13 and −11±13 points
• 6MWD: +30±74 m and +51±76 m
• FEV1: +0.11 ±0.20 L and +0.11±0.30 L
• RV: −0.65±0.90 L and −0.71±0.81 L
Coil treatment results in significant clinical improvements in patients with severe emphysema, with a good safety profile and sustained results for up to 1 year.
Prospective clinical trial

Slebos et al (2)
Coil treatment16Six months after treatment significant improvements (P<0.005) were observed in all outcome measures, with the following changes:
• SGRQ score: -15±12 points
• 6MWD: +84.4±73.4m
• FEV1: +14.9±17.0%
• FVC: +13.4±12.9%
• RV: -11.4±9.0%
Coil treatment results in significant improvements in pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life with an acceptable safety profile.
Prospective registry

Fellrath et al (14)
Coil treatment29Six months after treatment significant improvements were observed in all outcome measures, with the following changes:
• SGRQ score: -14 ±12 points (P<0.0001), 87% responder rate
• 6MWD: +53.4 m ± 66.9 m (P<0.0021), 60% responder rate
• FEV1: +0.14 ± 0.22 L (P<0.0021), 57% achieved the MID of 10%
• RV: -0.91 ± 1 L (P<0.0002), 76% achieved the MID of −0.35 L
Endobronchial coil therapy yields high 6-month responder rates across all relevant outcomes.
