Responders disclosed an increase in mean percent of predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) from 70% to 80% (Fig. 1a), and mean percent of predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) from 59% to 67% at follow-up (p<0.05 for both). Mean percent of DLCO increased from 69% to 74% in responders (Fig. 1b) but this did not reach significance.
