Study airway brushing in people with bronchiolitis obliterans
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study collects tiny airway samples during a planned bronchoscopy to better understand bronchiolitis obliterans (a long-term lung complication after transplant). Your samples may help researchers learn how the disease starts and changes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for a bronchoscopy at MD Anderson (MDACC) or Houston Methodist.
- You must agree to do extra study airway brushing during the bronchoscopy, beyond the usual medical samples.
- You need bronchiolitis obliterans (BOS) or be undergoing screening bronchoscopy where lung function changes are being checked.
- If you have BOS, your lung test (FEV1) must fit the trial’s specific timing/stage ranges or be stable for screening.
- You cannot have the bronchoscopy done as an emergency for a life-threatening problem, and you must be willing to sign consent.

This Phase 2 study tests belumosudil to treat or prevent bronchiolitis obliterans (BOS), a lung complication that can happen after a stem cell transplant. If you qualify, you would be checked closely with breathing tests and scans, and watched for safety and whether lung function improves or stays stable.
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.
This early trial tests if airway basal stem cells can help children with a serious lung condition called bronchiolitis obliterans. It aims to improve lung function and reduce the need for oxygen or breathing support.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This study collects lung fluid and tissue (and sometimes nasal or breath samples) to store for future research. It aims to understand lung and airway biology, and you may help by donating samples during a short procedure.
This study checks new ways to measure breathing in children who had a stem cell transplant to better detect a lung condition called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. If you join, you’ll do breathing and imaging tests, and researchers will look for patterns that may help with diagnosis.
