Microarray testing during lung transplant biopsy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study uses a special MRI scan (called hyperpolarized gas MRI) to check for signs of lung rejection after a transplant. The goal is to see if the MRI can help detect rejection earlier and more safely than standard bronchoscopy alone.
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.
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.
This study looks at how special lab tests from tiny tissue samples (microarrays) could help guide diagnosis and treatment in people who receive a liver transplant. It may help doctors better understand what’s going on and choose care more accurately.
This study checks how special lab tests on heart tissue samples can help guide diagnosis and treatment for people with a heart transplant. You may be eligible if you already need a heart tissue biopsy for a clinical reason and can provide consent.
