Testing a lung transplant approach for certain blood type O patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at lung transplants for people getting their first transplant who are blood type O and have low levels of antibodies that may react to donor tissue. It may help doctors choose the safest donor-recipient match for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for your first lung transplant (not a repeat transplant).
- You are blood type O.
- Before surgery, you have low anti-A antibodies (a blood test measure).
- You agree to join the study and consent to participate.
- At the time of transplant, your donor-matching test (virtual crossmatch) must be negative.

This study looks at the results of liver transplants from living donors with a different blood type than the recipient. It aims to understand how well patients do after this type of transplant.
This study looks at whether receiving red blood cell transfusions from O-type donors changes outcomes for people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It may help doctors choose which blood types to use to improve how patients feel and function over time.
This trial is testing a way to help your body accept a kidney transplant without needing lifelong anti-rejection drugs. It is for people getting a kidney from a living donor who is a relative and has a compatible blood type.
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 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 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.
