NCT ID NCT07068438
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device that delivers gentle electric pulses to the airways to reduce chronic bronchitis symptoms in adults with COPD. About 210 participants will either receive the real treatment or a sham procedure. The goal is to see if the treatment improves breathing and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Pulsed electric field ablation system (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new, non-drug option to reduce coughing and mucus in people with COPD and chronic bronchitis.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, sham-controlled trial, so the real benefit is still unproven. The procedure involves two lung treatments, which carry risks like infection or breathing problems.
