RejuvenAir® System Trial for COPD With Chronic Bronchitis (SPRAY-CB)

April 30, 2024 updated by: CSA Medical, Inc.

A Sham Controlled Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial of the RejuvenAir® System for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease With Chronic Bronchitis

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is defined as an impaired ability to move air within the lungs and is a major public health problem that is projected to rank fifth worldwide in terms of disease burden and third in terms of mortality. Chronic bronchitis (CB) is a common clinical phenotype within the umbrella of a COPD diagnosis and is classically defined as chronic cough and sputum production for 3 months a year for 2 consecutive years2, but many studies have used different definitions to define it- chronic cough and sputum production for one year or cough and sputum production on most days of the week. CB is associated with multiple clinical consequences, including; the worsening of lung function decline, increasing risk of acute exacerbations of COPD, increased risk of developing pneumonia, reduced health related quality of life, and an increase in all-cause mortality.

Conditions

Detailed Description

The RejuvenAir® System is a cryosurgical device that applies medical-grade liquid nitrogen to the treatment area via a radial head catheter in a small, accurately directed spray. Cryotherapy with the RejuvenAir® System is designed to induce a regenerative endobronchial tissue effect by: 1) destroying via cryotherapy the abnormal surface epithelium that has become overgrown with mucin producing goblet cells, 2) thus allowing normal bronchial epithelium with a regrowth of ciliated epithelial cells that will facilitate the removal of mucins from the bronchial airways and 3) lead to a reduction in chronic inflammation and its accompanying mucosal swelling with resultant increase in the treated airway diameter. This reversal of inflamed epithelium may also lessen systemic inflammation.
