Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06476132RecruitingPhase 2
Belumosudil for lung transplant patients at risk of chronic rejection
This trial tests whether the drug Belumosudil can help prevent chronic lung rejection in people who recently had a lung transplant and showed signs of early rejection. It may improve long-term lung health.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT02812290Recruiting
Microarray testing during lung transplant biopsy
This study looks at using a special lab test (microarrays) on tissue taken during a lung transplant biopsy. It aims to learn how the test may help doctors better diagnose and guide care after transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06033196RecruitingPhase 2
Tocilizumab to prevent lung transplant rejection
This trial tests a drug called tocilizumab (brand name Actemra) to see if it helps prevent rejection after lung transplantation. Tocilizumab targets part of the immune system that may otherwise attack the new lungs.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12–75 - NCT07516379Recruiting
Understanding Lung Rejection After Transplant
This study follows people with serious lung disease before and after lung transplant to understand how rejection happens and what warning signs to watch for. By studying your blood, tissue samples, and imaging, researchers hope to better predict and prevent transplant rejection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT06341543Recruiting
CMV blood test to guide treatment after organ transplant
This study uses a blood test (QuantiFERON-CMV) to help decide whether people with a silent (no symptoms) CMV infection after a solid organ transplant need treatment. If you have a low-to-moderate level of CMV in your blood without fever or organ issues, this trial may help your doctor choose the safest approach.
Grenoble, MarylandAges 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06082037RecruitingPhase 3
Testing belumosudil for chronic lung allograft dysfunction after transplant
This trial tests an oral medication called belumosudil for people with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after a double lung transplant. It may help slow the decline in lung function.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05837663Recruiting
Study using blood tests to better assess lung cancer
This study looks at whether a specialized blood test can help doctors better assess lung cancer. It may be helpful if you are an adult who can safely participate and provide a sample for testing.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06093867Recruiting
Tracking lung health after stem cell transplant
This study follows people getting a stem cell transplant to watch for lung problems, like infections or other lung diseases, that can happen after the transplant. The goal is to catch these issues early.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–70 - NCT02423070Recruiting
Study how donor genetic material behaves after lung or heart transplant
This study looks at how transplanted genetic material (DNA) changes and settles in the body after lung or heart transplant. It may help doctors understand transplant healing and improve future care for transplant recipients and candidates.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 14–80 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 13 years+ - NCT05654922RecruitingPhase 3
Prevent lung transplant airways scarring with ARINA-1
This Phase 3 trial tests ARINA-1 to slow or prevent worsening lung transplant scarring in the breathing tubes (bronchiolitis obliterans). It may help people who are showing early decline in lung function but are not yet at advanced disease.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT00106925Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people after stem cell transplant
This study follows people who are at least 3 years out from their first stem cell transplant to learn how they are doing long term. It may help improve future transplant care by tracking outcomes over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–80 - NCT00001529Recruiting
Bone marrow cell selection method study for transplants
This study tests improved ways to select and collect bone marrow cells from healthy donors for use in transplants. Researchers are looking for healthy volunteers to donate cells that may help people who need bone marrow transplants.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT04008368RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Second stem cell transplant for sickle cell with declining donor cells
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether repeating a stem cell transplant can help people with sickle cell disease (SCD) whose donor cells are no longer holding strong. It may help restore healthier blood cell production and reduce symptoms such as pain crises and severe anemia.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–80 - NCT03173937RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood transplant for severe aplastic anemia or MDS
This trial tests a special type of cord blood transplant using lab-grown stem cells to help the new blood-forming cells “take” sooner. It’s for people with severe aplastic anemia or certain MDS cases who have not responded well to standard immune-suppressing treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–75 - NCT07599176RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Partial stem cell transplant for sickle cell disease from matched donors
This study tests a partial stem cell transplant from a matched donor to treat sickle cell disease. It may help reduce complications like strokes, organ damage, or pain crises.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–65 - NCT03520647RecruitingPhase 2
Haplo transplant for severe bone marrow failure using donor cells
This trial tests a stem cell transplant from a closely matched but not fully matched family donor (haploidentical), with chemotherapy after the transplant to help prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It may help people with severe aplastic anemia, certain MDS after transformation, or PNH when other treatments have not worked or are not available.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–75 - NCT01174108RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant with donor T-cells for severe bone marrow failure
This Phase 2 study tests a specific type of donor stem cell transplant for severe bone marrow failure conditions, aiming to improve cure rates while reducing transplant risks. It includes people with diseases like severe aplastic anemia and certain bone marrow disorders, especially when standard transplant plans feel too risky.

What taking part in a lung transplant study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
