Results from the IMPACT Study. PG - 1073-1082 AB - RATIONALE: Endobronchial valves (EBVs) have been successfully used in patients with severe heterogeneous emphysema to improve lung physiology. Limited available data suggest that EBVs are also effective in homogeneous emphysema. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of EBVs in patients with homogeneous emphysema with absence of collateral ventilation assessed with the Chartis system. METHODS: Prospective, multicenter, 1:1 randomized controlled trial of EBV plus standard of care (SoC) or SoC alone. Primary outcome was the percentage change in FEV(1) (liters) at 3 months relative to baseline in the EBV group versus the SoC group. Secondary outcomes included changes in FEV(1), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), 6-minute-walk distance (6MWD), and target lobe volume reduction. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Ninety-three subjects (age, 63.7 +/- 6.1 yr [mean +/- SD]; FEV(1), % predicted, 29.3 +/- 6.5; residual volume, % predicted, 275.4 +/- 59.4) were allocated to either the EBV group (n = 43) or the SoC group (n = 50). In the intention-to-treat population, at 3 months postprocedure, improvement in FEV(1) from baseline was 13.7 +/- 28.2% in the EBV group and -3.2 +/- 13.0% in the SoC group (mean between-group difference, 17.0%; P = 0.0002). Other variables demonstrated statistically and clinically significant changes from baseline to 3 months (EBV vs. SoC, respectively: SGRQ, -8.63 +/- 11.25 vs. 1.01 +/- 9.36; and 6MWD, 22.63 +/- 66.63 m vs. -17.34 +/- 52.8 m). Target lobe volume reduction at 3 months was -1,195 +/- 683 ml (P < 0.0001). Of the EBV subjects, 97.2% achieved volume reduction in the target lobe (P < 0.0001). Procedure-related pneumothoraces occurred in 11 subjects (25.6%). Five subjects required removal/replacement of one or more valves. One subject experienced two valve migration events requiring removal/replacement of valves. CONCLUSIONS: EBV in patients with homogeneous emphysema without collateral ventilation results in clinically meaningful benefits of improved lung function, exercise tolerance, and quality of life.
