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 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 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 trial tests a new drug combination given before a kidney transplant from a living donor with a different blood type. The drugs aim to reduce the immune system's attack on the new kidney, making the transplant safer and more successful.
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.
