Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Left Ventricular End-diastolic Volume (LVEDV)
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Left ventricular enddiastolic volume (LVEDV) is a measurement of the volume of blood in the heart's left ventricular chamber at the end of the chamber's filling with blood and will be determined as measured by MRI.
Baseline, week 2

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1).
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) will be calculated as the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second as measured by spirometry.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. FVC will be assessed via spirometry.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Inspiratory Capacity (IC) at Each Time-point
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Inspiratory capacity (IC) was defined as the mean of the maximum IC over 3 values measured by bodyplethysmography according to internationally accepted standards.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Total Lung Capacity (TLC) will be calculated from the mean Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) plus the highest value of the Inspiratory Capacity, both measured by body plethymography according to internationally accepted standards.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Residual Volume (RVol)
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Residual Volume (RVol) will be calculated from the value of Total Lung Capacity (TLC) minus the highest value of the Slow Vital Capacity, both measured by body plethymography according to internationally accepted standards.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Specific Airway Resistance (sRaw)
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Specific Airway Resistance (sRaw) will be documented as effective resistance (sReff) calculated as the median of five acceptable measurements. Values will be measured by body plethymography according to internationally accepted standards.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) will be calculated as the mean of three reproducible values as measured by body plethymography according to internationally accepted standards.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Right Ventricular (RV) and Left Ventricular (LV) Ejection Fraction (EF)
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Right and left ventricular ejection fraction is the fraction of blood (in percent) pumped out of the heart's left and right ventricular chamber, respectively, with each heart beat and will be determined as measured by MRI.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Left and Right Ventricular End-systolic Volume
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Right ventricular end-systolic volume (RV-ESV) and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LV-ESV) is a measurement of the volume of blood in the heart's right and left ventricular chamber, respectively, at the end of the heart's contraction and will be determined as measured by MRI.
Baseline, week 2
Change in Right Ventricular Enddiastolic Volume
Time Frame: Baseline, week 2
Right ventricular end-diastolic volume is a measurement of the volume of blood in the heart's right ventricular chamber at the end of the chamber's filling with blood and will be determined as measured by MRI.
Baseline, week 2
Cardiac Output at Each Time-point, Left and Right Ventricular Cardiac Output (LVCO and RVCO)
Time Frame: week 2
Cardiac output is calculated as the heart rate multiplied by the stroke volume (= difference between ventricular enddiastolic volume and endsystolic volume) that will be determined as measured by MRI.
