Outcome measures

Co-primary efficacy endpoints Mean % change in FEV1 and 6 MWT in the treatment group as compared to control group at 180 days post randomization.
Primary safety endpoint Major Complications Composite at 180 days post randomization.
Secondary efficacy endpoints Mean absolute change in:
- St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire
- Maximal work load as measured by cycle ergometry
- Daily oxygen requirement
- mMRC
Secondary safety endpoints Complications (type, timing, and severity, including Kaplan-Meier survival analysis)
Device-related adverse events during procedure hospitalization
Device-related adverse events post discharge

Abbreviations: FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in one second, 6 MWT = six minute walk test, RV = residual volume, DLco = diffusion of the lung for carbon dioxide, BODE index = body-mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity index, EBV = endobronchial valve, mMRC = modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale
