Predicting lung transplant outcomes with molecular analysis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses advanced blood and tissue testing to predict how well a new lung will work after transplant. If you've had a lung transplant and are stable, you may help researchers improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and had a single or double lung transplant.
- You can understand and sign a consent form, and are willing to follow study visits and give blood samples.
- Your doctors have said you are stable enough for routine checkups and blood tests.
- You can do breathing tests (pulmonary function tests) during follow-up visits.
- You are not planning to join another research study that could affect your immune system or lungs.
- If you had a re-transplant, you can still join—this will be treated as a new transplant event.

This study looks back at the health records of people who had a lung transplant to find out which factors before and during the surgery affect their recovery and long-term outcomes. If you had a lung transplant, your information could help doctors improve care for future patients.
This trial studies whether certain markers in your blood can predict how your lung cancer may progress after surgery. You would give blood samples before and after surgery, and researchers will follow your health over time to see if these markers relate to outcomes.
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 ways to improve outcomes for people who are waiting for or have recently received a lung transplant. It aims to find better management strategies for both donors and recipients.
This study looks at whether a specialized blood test can help doctors better assess lung cancer. It may be helpful if you are an adult who can safely participate and provide a sample for testing.
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.
