Finding risk factors for poor lung transplant function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently receiving a lung transplant, or a heart and lung transplant together
- Your transplant is only lung-related (lung alone, or heart+lung)
- You are not having any other organ transplant at the same time (besides heart+lung)

This trial tests a new way to preserve donated lungs before transplant to lower the risk of complications. It may help primary graft dysfunction, a serious lung problem after surgery.
This trial tests an immune-suppressing medicine to stop a serious complication called primary graft dysfunction that can happen soon after a lung transplant. It may help people who are already on the transplant waiting list and plan to receive a standard anti-rejection drug regimen.
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.
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.
This study looks back at the health records of people who had a lung transplant to find out which factors before and during the surgery affect their recovery and long-term outcomes. If you had a lung transplant, your information could help doctors improve care for future 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.
