Siltuximab for antibody-mediated rejection after lung transplant
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug called siltuximab to see if it can help treat a type of lung rejection called antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in people who have had a lung transplant. You may be eligible if you are currently hospitalized for AMR and are already planning to receive standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had a single or double lung transplant.
- You have been diagnosed with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and are being treated with medications like Carfilzomib or anti-thymocyte globulin.
- You are currently in the hospital for your AMR treatment.
- You have specific antibodies (DSA) against the donor lung with a level over 1000 MFI.

This trial tests if siltuximab can prevent severe immune-related side effects when patients restart immunotherapy (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) after previous severe side effects. It aims to make rechallenge safer for people with advanced cancer.
This trial tests a drug called tocilizumab (brand name Actemra) to see if it helps prevent rejection after lung transplantation. Tocilizumab targets part of the immune system that may otherwise attack the new lungs.
This trial tests a new drug, siplizumab, to see if it helps the body accept a donated kidney better than a standard treatment. It is for people receiving a kidney transplant from a living or deceased donor.
This study tests whether a drug called emapalumab can help lung transplant recipients whose transplanted lungs are showing signs of rejection. The drug targets a specific immune protein (interferon gamma) that appears to drive this type of rejection.
This trial tests if adding silymarin (a milk thistle extract) to standard anti-rejection medicines helps protect the new kidney from damage. It may improve how well the transplanted kidney works over time.
This trial tests whether the drug Belumosudil can help prevent chronic lung rejection in people who recently had a lung transplant and showed signs of early rejection. It may improve long-term lung health.
