Reducing transplant complications with enhanced preservation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to preserve donated lungs before transplant to lower the risk of complications. It may help primary graft dysfunction, a serious lung problem after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and need a lung transplant.
- Your donor is someone whose brain has stopped working (brain death), not someone whose heart stopped.
- You are not getting a multi-organ transplant, like a lung and heart together.
- You are not already in another research study for an experimental treatment.
- Your donated lung is not being kept in a special machine called an organ care system.

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 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 trial tests a special machine that keeps donated livers healthy before they're transplanted. It aims to improve transplant success and help more people receive a liver.
This trial tests a new way to store and treat donor lungs before transplant, aiming to make them healthier and safer for patients who need a double lung transplant.
This trial tests a special machine that preserves donor hearts for longer periods before transplant. It may help people waiting for a heart transplant who need a heart from a donor that may be older or has some heart risks.
This study tests whether a simple treatment performed on the donor before organ removal can help transplanted organs work better. It may help patients receiving organs from eligible brain-dead donors at a specific hospital.
