Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Primary Safety Endpoint: Absence of clinically significant post-treatment respiratory changes from Baseline (pre-Bronchial Thermoplasty) CT.

    Following BT, defined as bronchiectasis or bronchial stenosis, as confirmed by Pulmonary Volumetric HRCT scan at the BT 10+study visit in those3 subjects who had baseline Volumetric HRCT scan in the AIR2 study. Baseline and 10+ year HRCTs are to be read by an independent radiologist and also assessed by an independent pulmonologist.

    The BT 10+ study's single visit must occur 10 years after the subject's last BT procedure.

  • Primary Effectiveness: Endpoints at 10 or more years following the subjects' last BT procedure; Asthma Exacerbations, ER Visits, Hospitalizations, and respiratory Serious Adverse Events.

    Durability of the treatment effect by comparing the proportion of subjects who experience severe asthma exacerbations during the first and fifth years after BT treatment with the proportion of subjects who experience severe asthma exacerbations during the 12 month period prior to the BT 10+ study visit.

    The BT 10+ study's single visit must occur 10 years after the subject's last BT procedure.

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Severe asthma exacerbation rates exacerbations

    One day visit

  • Severe asthma exacerbation rates subject

Study Arms (3)

Treated

Subjects that received Bronchial Thermoplasty in a prior study (AIR, RISA, or AIR2)

Other: Bronchial Thermoplasty

Control

Subjects that participated in prior study (AIR) or (RISA) but did not receive Bronchial Thermoplasty Treatment. Determine if the Control group of subjects asthma has progressed any different from those subjects treated with BT.

Other: Bronchial Thermoplasty

Sham

Subjects that participated in the AIR2 study, were blinded and did not receive the treatment. Determine if the Sham group of subjects asthma has progressed any different from those subjects treated with BT.

Other: Bronchial Thermoplasty

Interventions

patients had radio frequency ablation of the smooth muscle for asthma
