We’re tracking 11 recruiting lung transplant studies with a site in Minnesota — including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- 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.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 12 years+ - NCT05426200Recruiting
Health coaching program for people waiting for lung transplant
This study tests whether personalized health coaching can improve how you feel and report your symptoms and wellbeing while you’re waiting for a lung transplant. It may help you better manage your health before transplant.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05547698Recruiting
ECMO versus off-pump double lung transplant care
This study compares two ways of supporting the lungs and heart around the time of a double lung transplant: venoarterial ECMO versus an off-pump approach. It may help your team choose the safest support method based on your heart-lung pressures and surgical plan.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 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.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 12–75 - 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.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06824402Recruiting
Cryoprobe Biopsy for Chronic Rejection in Lung Transplant
This trial tests a new biopsy method called cryoprobe (using a cold probe) to better detect chronic rejection in lung transplant patients. It is for patients who already need a lung biopsy, either for routine monitoring or because of a concern.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–99 - NCT06513091Recruiting
National lung transplant recipient registry study
This study collects information from all lung transplant recipients in the United States to track their health and outcomes over time. It helps doctors learn how to improve care for people who have had a lung transplant.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT04118660Recruiting
Thoracic specimen registry for adults with chest conditions
This study is a “specimen registry,” meaning it collects and stores samples from adults with chest (thoracic) diseases. It may help researchers better understand lung and chest conditions and improve future testing or treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 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.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT05025774Recruiting
Exercise program study for young heart, leukemia, and lung survivors
This study looks at how an exercise program affects fitness and lung function in young people who are survivors of certain conditions (heart transplant, leukemia, or lung disease from prematurity). The goal is to see whether exercise can improve breathing and overall physical function safely.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–25 - NCT04098445Recruiting
Study of lung injury in children after stem cell transplant
This study follows children and teens who get a stem cell transplant to learn how lung problems develop over time. Your participation could help doctors better predict, prevent, and manage lung injury after transplant.

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.

Common questions
- Are there lung transplant clinical trials in Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting lung transplant studies with a site in Minnesota, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a lung transplant study in Minnesota?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a lung transplant trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New lung transplant studies open in Minnesota regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
