In subjects with advanced COPD, we evaluated

MRI measurements of emphysema and airways disease in a
study of the 4-week treatment efficacy of a handheld
airway clearance device for mobilizing mucous
secretions. Whereas all subjects reported a modest
improvement in ease of clearing mucous following
therapy, 6/14 subjects showed improved

MRI ventilation (p=0.04), with concomitantly improved
forced vital capacity and 6MWD, and this was not
observed in imaging non-responders. In addition, imaging
measurements of emphysema was a negative-predictor of
response. Non-invasive imaging measurements of COPD can
be used as intermediate endpoints and phenotypes in
therapy trials.
