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 compares two medical devices used to improve the condition of donor lungs before they are transplanted. It aims to see which device works better to make more lungs suitable for transplant, potentially helping more patients receive the lungs they need.
This study tests whether placing organ donors who have been declared brain-dead face down (prone) can improve the condition of their lungs for transplant and help people who receive those lungs recover better. If you are a potential donor, this may increase the chances that your lungs can be used to save a life.
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 a portable device that keeps donor hearts healthy outside the body before transplant. It may help more donor hearts be used, including those from donors after circulatory death and hearts previously considered less suitable.
