Brief Summary:

This clinical investigation is an open-label, multi-center RCT to demonstrate the safety and effective performance of the Lungpacer DPTS (plus standard of care) as compared to Control (standard of care only) in patients aged 18 years or older who are receiving mechanical ventilation. Eligible Subjects will have received mechanical ventilation for ≥96 hours (4 days) and failed two weaning attempts.

The goal or outcome is to show a numerically greater proportion of subjects weaned in the Treatment (Lungpacer DPTS) group as compared to the Control group.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Ventilator Induced Diaphragm Dysfunction Device: Lungpacer Diaphragm Pacing Therapy Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The intended patient population is applicable for Lungpacer DPT because there are no noninvasive alternative treatments for patients who are difficult to wean from MV (i.e., ≥96 hours (4 days) on MV) or who have required prolonged MV (>7 days). The intended patient population includes approximately one-third of all patients on mechanical ventilation. Under standard of care, approximately 50% of these patients will recover from mechanical ventilation (Jung, 2016). Standard of care involves daily weaning attempts, known as Spontaneous Breathing Trials (SBTs) or Ventilator Liberation Trials (VLTs) that are intended to encourage diaphragm use and strengthening over time.Therefore, Lungpacer DPT efficacy evaluation must be compared to standard of care in a Control group. Lack of recovery from mechanical ventilation may be due to the inability of a patient to participate in VLTs or weaning attempts, due to extensive diaphragm weakness or sedation, the inability of VLTs to induce sufficient diaphragm strengthening, or co-morbidities that prevent recovery.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Treatment
Subject receives Lungpacer Catheter for transvenous phrenic nerve stimulation to deliver Diaphragm Pacing Therapy Sessions. DPT sessions are 6 sets of 10, delivered twice daily, for a total of 120 stimulation reps per day, plus standard of care for weaning from mechanical ventilation.
 Device: Lungpacer Diaphragm Pacing Therapy
Transvenous phrenic nerve stimulation to induce diaphragm contraction.
Other Names:
  • Lungpacer DPTS
  • AeroPace System
No Intervention: Control
Subject does not receive Lungpacer Catheter or DPT. Subject receives only Standard of care for weaning from mechanical ventilation.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Successful wean [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    The proportion of subjects who are successfully weaned will be statistically significantly greater for subjects randomized to Treatment (Lungpacer DPTS) compared to subjects randomized to Control.

  2. Maximal Inspiratory Pressure mean change [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    The MIP mean change from baseline will be statistically significantly greater for subjects randomized to Lungpacer DPTS compared to subjects randomized to Control.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI) [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Change in RSBI over time from randomization (baseline)

  2. Mortality [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    To compare Treatment (Lungpacer DPTS) subjects to Control subjects for Day 30 mortality.

  3. Rate of RSBI Change [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Rate of RSBI change per day from randomization (baseline) to last available measure

  4. Rate of MIP Change [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Rate of MIP change per day from randomization (baseline) to last available measure;

  5. Change in MIP [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Change in MIP over time from randomization (baseline)

  6. Days on MV [ Time Frame: Successful weaning or day 30 ]
    Days on mechanical ventilation from Day 1 to removal from MV associated with successful weaning or Day 30, whichever comes first.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Adverse Event Assessment [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Adverse events for subjects randomized to Treatment (Lungpacer DPTS) as compared to subjects randomized to Control.
