Reflux band device trial for lung transplant recipients
This trial tests whether a Reflux Band™ placed around the upper swallowing tube area can reduce reflux (stomach acid coming up) in people who have had a lung transplant. If reflux is causing discomfort or lung irritation, reducing it may help you stay stable after transplant.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07870811Recruiting
Wellness program to improve quality of life after organ transplant
This study tests a program of exercise, education, and other non-drug activities to help people who have had an organ transplant feel better and improve their daily lives. It is for people who are at least one year past their transplant and have some quality-of-life concerns.
Palermo, PalermoAges 25–65 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT00552357Recruiting
Finding risk factors for poor lung transplant function
This study looks at what increases the chance of developing a serious complication called “primary graft dysfunction” shortly after a lung (or heart-lung) transplant. The results may help doctors better predict risk and improve care after transplant.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 13–68 - NCT06948097RecruitingPhase 1
Testing fostamatinib for lung transplant patients with donor-specific antibodies
This trial tests a new medicine called fostamatinib for people who have had a lung transplant and have developed donor-specific antibodies (DSA) on their lung. The goal is to see if this medicine is safe and can help prevent the body from rejecting the new lung.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT06990711RecruitingPhase 1
Siltuximab for antibody-mediated rejection after lung transplant
This trial tests a drug called siltuximab to see if it can help treat a type of lung rejection called antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in people who have had a lung transplant. You may be eligible if you are currently hospitalized for AMR and are already planning to receive standard treatments.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05586906Recruiting
Breath test to detect lung transplant problems early
This trial looks at a simple, noninvasive breath test to spot early lung transplant dysfunction after a lung transplant. Because it focuses on testing after the transplant, it may help your care team catch issues earlier.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06963190Enrolling by invitation
Breathing Muscle Training After Lung Transplant
This study tests two types of breathing muscle training exercises in people who have had a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type helps you breathe better and improves your daily living.
Santander, CantabriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07065318Recruiting
Exercise training for lung transplant candidates
This study compares two types of exercise programs (aerobic walking/cycling and high-intensity interval training) for people with interstitial lung disease who are waiting for a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type of exercise helps improve daily function and quality of life.
AnkaraAges 18–64 - NCT06032273Recruiting
Lung Transplant Study for CF Patients and Their Caregivers
This study looks at a website-based program to support people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and their caregivers, helping them prepare for a possible lung transplant. It aims to ease stress, provide information, and improve the transplant journey.
