Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04582279Recruiting
Lung ultrasound test to rule out rejection after lung transplant
This study checks whether a painless lung ultrasound can help tell when rejection is unlikely after a lung transplant. If it works, it could reduce the need for other tests in people who feel well.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 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.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 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 - NCT07747337Recruiting
Lung transplant recovery study
This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07042035Recruiting
A study of once-daily tacrolimus for new lung transplant patients
This trial tests a special form of tacrolimus (Envarsus) taken once daily to prevent organ rejection in people who recently received a first lung transplant. The study will follow patients for at least 12 months.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04783155Recruiting
Breathing training after lung transplant at Mayo Clinic
This trial studies whether inspiratory muscle training (exercises to strengthen the breathing muscles) improves recovery and other health outcomes after a single- or double-lung transplant. It may help see if adding breathing exercises makes day-to-day function better and supports clinical recovery.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05375149Recruiting
Breath particle study after lung transplant
This study looks at tiny particles in exhaled breath after a lung transplant. It may help researchers understand how the lungs are doing after transplant by using breath samples.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 16–75 - 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 - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06868823Recruiting
Blood thinners during lung transplant bypass
This study compares two different blood thinners (UFH and LMWH) used during heart-lung bypass (ECMO) for double lung transplant patients. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT06959056Recruiting
Cooling therapy for pain after double lung transplant
