Lung transplant from donors after circulatory death
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if lungs from donors whose hearts have stopped can be safely transplanted into people waiting for a lung transplant. It may expand the number of available donor lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on the waiting list for a lung transplant
- You must be willing to join the study
- You must be able to come to follow-up visits for 1 year after the transplant
- You or a family member must be able to sign a consent form

This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers (called machine perfusion) after they are recovered from donors who died from circulatory causes. It aims to see if this method helps the liver work better before transplant.
This trial tests whether placing brain-dead organ donors on their stomach (prone position) improves lung function and outcomes for lung transplant recipients. It may help more lungs become available for transplant.
This study looks at how transplanted genetic material (DNA) changes and settles in the body after lung or heart transplant. It may help doctors understand transplant healing and improve future care for transplant recipients and candidates.
This trial compares different care approaches for adult donors in a specific type of controlled donation after the heart stops. It aims to find which approach best supports organ/tissue use after donation.
This trial tests which of two medical devices works better at reconditioning donor lungs before transplant. It may help people waiting for a lung transplant receive healthier lungs.
This study tests whether unmanned aircraft can safely transport donor lungs for transplantation between cities. You may be eligible if you are an adult waiting for a lung transplant.
