Breath test to detect lung transplant problems early
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at a simple, noninvasive breath test to spot early lung transplant dysfunction after a lung transplant. Because it focuses on testing after the transplant, it may help your care team catch issues earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a bilateral lung transplant at Zurich University Hospital.
- You are not getting a second (re)transplant of your lungs (retransplantation).

This study looks at tiny particles in exhaled breath after a lung transplant. It may help researchers understand how the lungs are doing after transplant by using breath samples.
This study checks whether a painless lung ultrasound can help tell when rejection is unlikely after a lung transplant. If it works, it could reduce the need for other tests in people who feel well.
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 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.
This trial studies a way to spot and treat air leaks during lung transplant surgery. It may help surgical teams reduce leak-related problems during and after the transplant.
