Analysis will evaluate the mean change in lobar lung volumes as determined by computed tomography (CT) scanning at 6 weeks in two study arms based on subjects' blinded bronchoscopic intervention.\n\nInitial assessment will comprise\n\n* Clinical evaluation\n* Full pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - static and dynamic lung volumes and gas transfer\n* SGRQ\n* Dyspnoea Score\n* CT scan\n\nSuitable patients will then be randomised to receive either autologous blood, or normal saline injected into the target airways.\n\nProcedures in all patients will be carried out under conscious sedation and/or anaesthesia. After bronchoscopic examination of the airways, 100ml of the patients own blood will be collected using two 50ml syringes. A balloon catheter will be inserted into the target segment and 25 mls of the blood will be injected via the balloon catheter. The balloon will be inflated and maintained in position for about 6 minutes in order to minimise the risk of overspill of blood into other areas of the lung. The balloon catheter will then be repositioned in the next segment of the target lobe of the lung and the process repeated until all the segments are treated. It is anticipated that the whole procedure will last 45-60 minutes, up to and including balloon removal.\n\nThe placebo arm will involve an identical protocol, except that injections of 30mls of 0.9% saline will replace the injections of blood. 3 segments will be 'treated'. The blood retrieved at the start of the procedure will be discarded.\n\nA course of antibiotics or pulse of corticosteroids after the procedure will be at the discretion of the investigator. Post-operative CXRs will only be ordered if there are clinical indications (e.g. cough, fever, increased breathlessness).\n\nReassessment will occur at 6 weeks. This will be undertaken by a blinded assessment team with no knowledge of which study arm a patient has been randomised into, and with no access to the initial procedure record. This removes expectation and subjectivity from the assessment. Assessment will consist of the following:\n\n* Clinical evaluation\n* Full pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - static and dynamic lung volumes and gas transfer\n* SGRQ\n* Dyspnoea Score\n* Blinding questionnaire for patient and assessment team\n* CT scan\n\nAfter the assessments have been completed the patients will be un-blinded and informed which treatment group they had been assigned to.\n\nSubjects will be made aware that the process is expected to be irreversible. However, if there are any problems during the bronchoscopy (for example worsening hypoxia), then the procedure will be abandoned as soon as it is safe to do so.\n\nA log of adverse and serious adverse events for each patient will be kept as part of the safety monitoring of the trial.\n\nThose who are entered into the control arm of the study will be offered the real procedure at the end of the study if benefits are apparent"}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18-80 years\n* Moderate to severe airflow obstruction FEV1 \\<50% Predicted\n* Severe dyspnoea - mMRC ≥2\n* Hyperinflation - total lung capacity (TLC) ≥100% predicted, RV ≥150% predicted\n* Optimum COPD treatment for at least 6 weeks\n* No COPD exacerbation for at least 6 weeks\n* Less than 3 admissions for exacerbation in the preceding 12 months\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient unable to provide informed consent\n* Total lung CO uptake (TLCO) \\<15% predicted and FEV1 \\<15% predicted\n* pO2 on air \\<6.0kPa\n* pCO2 on air \\>8.0kPa\n* Other major medical illness, e.g. lung cancer that will limit participation\n* Clinically significant bronchiectasis\n* Large bulla - more than 1/3 of hemithorax volume (i.e. where bullectomy would be more suitable) on CT scan\n* Arrhythmia or cardiovascular disease that poses a risk during procedure\n* Prednisolone dose greater than 10mg a day\n* Prior LVRS or lobectomy\n* Lung nodule requiring surgery\n* Female of childbearing age with positive pregnancy test\n* Subject participated in a research study of investigational drug or device in prior 30 days\n* Subject taking clopidogrel, warfarin, or other anticoagulants and unable to abstain for 5 days pre-procedure'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01528267', 'briefTitle': 'Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Using Blood', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Randomised, Double Blind, Sham Controlled Trial of Autologous Blood Lung Volume Reduction', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '08/H0708/100'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Autologous blood', 'description': 'Patients will have 50mls of autologous blood injected into each of 3 bronchopulmonary segments during bronchoscopy under conscious sedation.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Autologous blood']}, {'type': 'SHAM_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Saline', 'description': 'Patients will have 50mls of normal saline injected into each of 3 bronchopulmonary segments during bronchoscopy under conscious sedation.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Normal saline']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Autologous blood', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': '50mls of autologous blood injected into each of 3 bronchopulmonary segments.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Autologous blood']}, {'name': 'Normal saline', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': '50mls of normal saline injected into each of 3 bronchopulmonary segments.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Saline']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'London', 'country': 'United Kingdom', 'facility': 'Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 51.50853, 'lon': -0.12574}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Pallav Shah, MBBS, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
