Recruiting studies
- NCT05526950Recruiting
Check cytokine filtration for people getting double lung transplants
This study tests a method during double lung transplant surgery to remove certain immune signals (“cytokines”) that may help the transplanted lungs heal. It’s only for adults who are having a planned double lung transplant at the study sites.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18–80 - NCT04837339Recruiting
Testing markers to predict problems after lung transplant
This study looks for lab “clues” that can help predict how well someone’s lungs will do after a lung transplant. It may help doctors spot transplant-related problems earlier so care can be planned sooner.
SuresnesAges 15 years+ - NCT06679257Recruiting
Liquid biopsy for lung transplant damage classification
This study tests a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to detect and classify damage to a transplanted lung. It aims to find signs of rejection or injury earlier, which could help doctors treat problems sooner.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07434869Recruiting
Blood and image markers for ECP response in lung transplant CLAD
This study looks at whether blood tests and MRI scans can predict how well ECP (a blood-filtering treatment) works for people with CLAD after a lung transplant. If you’ve been prescribed ECP for CLAD and haven’t had it before, you may be able to help researchers find better ways to tailor treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 7 years+ - NCT05671887Recruiting
Double lung transplant registry for certain lung-limited cancers
This study follows people who are getting a double lung transplant and have specific lung-only (or lung-limited) cancer or other serious lung conditions. It’s an observational registry, meaning it collects real-world information to learn which patients may benefit from transplant and how they do afterward.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT05836922Recruiting
Checking kidney oxygen after lung transplant to predict kidney injury
This pilot study looks at whether a painless skin sensor can measure kidney oxygen levels after lung transplant surgery. The goal is to predict and possibly prevent postoperative kidney failure by identifying risk early.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06399302Recruiting
Improving outcomes for lung transplant patients
This study looks at ways to improve outcomes for people who are waiting for or have recently received a lung transplant. It aims to find better management strategies for both donors and recipients.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06615492Recruiting
Lung transplant study: comparing two ECMO methods
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07235683RecruitingPhase 4
Stronger CMV treatment for lung transplant recipients
This trial tests adding a drug called letermovir to standard antiviral therapy for lung transplant patients with CMV infection. The goal is to see if the combination helps clear the virus faster and more effectively.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06770023RecruitingPhase 1
Bridge to lung transplant with ECMO for right heart failure
This study tests a special heart-lung support machine (ECMO) for people waiting for a lung transplant whose heart is failing due to high blood pressure in the lungs. The machine helps rest the heart and lungs until transplant surgery.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06948097RecruitingPhase 1
Testing fostamatinib for lung transplant patients with new donor-specific antibodies
This trial tests a drug called fostamatinib to see if it is safe and tolerable for lung transplant patients who develop new antibodies against their donor lung. It aims to prevent rejection without harming the new lung.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04787822Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up for people in a lung transplant research group
This study checks long-term health and well-being in people who previously joined a lung transplant research study. It may help doctors understand long-term changes after transplant and improve future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 13 years+ - NCT06018766RecruitingPhase 2
LAM-001 for lung transplant patients with BOS
This study tests whether the drug LAM-001 can help people who have developed a condition called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after a double lung transplant. BOS causes a slow decline in lung function, and this trial aims to see if LAM-001 can slow or stop that decline.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03500731RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung and bone marrow transplant for lung and blood failure
This Phase 1/2 study tests a special lung-and-bone-marrow transplant approach for people with severe lung disease and bone marrow failure (low blood counts). The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and whether it can improve outcomes when standard long-term immune-suppressing medicines are a poor fit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT05170971Recruiting
Fecal transplant trial for worsening liver failure
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a transfer of healthy gut bacteria from a donor) to help people with worsening liver failure. It may help by changing gut bacteria, which can affect complications like confusion, fluid buildup, infections, and kidney problems.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT03667027Recruiting
Study of breathing muscle and lung changes during transplant planning
This trial studies how the diaphragm (your main breathing muscle) and lung/airway tissue behave in people who are being supported until they can get a lung transplant. The results may help doctors better understand breathing failure and improve transplant care.
TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT05689476Recruiting
Measuring diaphragm breathing signals during ICU ventilation
This study measures electrical activity of the diaphragm and how your breathing system works while you are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand breathing during recovery after major lung events.
Padova, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT04305717Recruiting
Check fluid levels with a special sensor in hospitalized heart failure
This study uses a noninvasive device (ReDS) to estimate fluid buildup in people hospitalized with acute heart failure. It may help doctors monitor fluid status and guide care more accurately during a hospital stay.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07046910RecruitingPhase 2
MRI to detect lung rejection after transplant
This study uses a special MRI scan (called hyperpolarized gas MRI) to check for signs of lung rejection after a transplant. The goal is to see if the MRI can help detect rejection earlier and more safely than standard bronchoscopy alone.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–80 - NCT04782752Recruiting
Radiation before lung transplant to help stop lung cancer spread
This study tests a focused, low-dose type of radiation given before a lung transplant. The goal is to help your immune system recognize and attack cancer cells (called “radiovaccination”) and improve outcomes for people who cannot get curative treatment with surgery or SBRT alone.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06421298RecruitingPhase 2
Tafolecimab and sintilimab plus chemo for advanced lung cancer
This trial is testing a new combination of treatments, including an immune drug (sintilimab) and a cholesterol-lowering drug (tafolecimab), along with chemotherapy, for people with advanced lung cancer that no longer responds to standard immunotherapy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06300177RecruitingPhase 3
