Limitations and caveats
Study enrollment progressed more slowly than anticipated (spanning \>3 years instead of one). The Data Safety and Monitoring Board performed an interim analysis one year after 30 subjects enrolled and directed the study to stop due to futility.

Registered outcomes8

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Forced Vital Capacity (36 Months)Measured at baseline and 36 months
Change from baseline in the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) measurement at 36 months. FVC is the volume of air that can be forcibly blown out from the lungs after full inspiration. FVC is recorded as the percentage of predicted volume (predicted FVC volume is calculated based on subject's height, age, sex, and weight).
SecondaryChange in Forced Vital Capacity (12 Months)Measured at baseline and 12 months
Change from baseline in the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) measurement at 12 months. FVC is the volume of air that can be forcibly blown out from the lungs after full inspiration. FVC is recorded as the percentage of predicted volume (predicted FVC volume is calculated based on subject's height, age, sex, and weight).
SecondaryChange in Total Lung Capacity (36 Months)Measured at baseline and 36 months
Change from baseline in Total Lung Capacity (TLC) measured at 36 months. TLC is the volume in the lungs at maximal inflation. TLC is recorded as the percentage of predicted volume based on subject's height, age, sex, and weight.
SecondaryChange in Total Lung Capacity (12 Months)Measured at baseline and 12 months
Change from baseline in Total Lung Capacity (TLC) measured at 12 months. TLC is the volume in the lungs at maximal inflation. TLC is recorded as the percentage of predicted volume based on subject's height, age, sex, and weight.
SecondaryChange in Adjusted Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (36 Months)Measured at baseline and 36 months
Change from baseline in adjusted Diffusing Capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCOa) measured at 36 months. DLCOa measures gas uptake during a single inspiration in a standard time, adjusted for subject's hemoglobin levels.
SecondaryChange in Adjusted Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (12 Months)Measured at baseline and 12 months
Change from baseline in adjusted Diffusing Capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCOa) measured at 12 months. DLCOa measures gas uptake during a single inspiration in a standard time, adjusted for subject's hemoglobin levels.
SecondaryChange in 6 Minute Walk Test (36 Months)Measured at baseline and 36 monthsChange from baseline of the 6 minute walk test (6MWT) at 36 months. The 6MWT measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat hard surface in a period of six minutes.
SecondaryChange in 6 Minute Walk Test (12 Months)Measured at baseline and 12 monthsChange from baseline of the 6 minute walk test (6MWT) at 12 months. The 6MWT measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat hard surface in a period of six minutes.
