Bronchoscopy treatment with one-way lung valves
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at outcomes from placing one-way valves in the lungs using a camera procedure through the airways (bronchoscopy). If you’re already planned for this type of valve treatment, you may be able to join to help researchers learn how it works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled to get bronchoscopic lung volume treatment with one-way valves
- The valve procedure must be planned as part of your usual care plan
- You need to be able to go ahead with the bronchoscopy procedure as scheduled

Researchers want to see if a bronchoscopic lung volume reduction procedure with Zephyr valves changes how much oxygen your body uses during simple tasks. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for this valve treatment and do not rely on constant oxygen for daily activities.
This study is tracking the real-world use of the Zephyr Valve, a device that helps people with severe COPD breathe easier. It will check if the valve is safe and works well for people in Japan who have been chosen for this treatment by their doctor.
This trial tests whether placing ZEPHYR® valves in two stages reduces the risk of a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) compared to the usual one-stage procedure. It is for people with severe emphysema who have already quit smoking and meet specific lung function criteria.
This study looks at lung tissue taken out after a treatment that places a one-way lung valve to help breathing. They want to learn how the valve affects the airway and lung over time.
This study tests whether placing tiny valves in the airways can help people with severe COPD breathe easier. It is for people who still have trouble breathing despite quitting smoking and completing pulmonary rehab.
This trial tests a one-way lung valve system to reduce over-inflated lung areas in people with emphysema. It’s aimed at patients whose lung scans suggest they may benefit from “fissure completion” to improve airflow.
