NCT ID NCT05816616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to use a special MRI technique with hyperpolarized xenon gas to see how lung function changes in people with COPD after a procedure called targeted lung denervation. The goal was to better understand how the treatment affects breathing. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants.
