Preserving donor lungs to improve transplant outcomes
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are approved as a candidate for a double lung transplant.
- You are not taking part in any other experimental treatment studies for your lung condition.
- The donor lungs must be free of severe air or blood leaks before transplant.

This study collects information from all lung transplant recipients in the United States to track their health and outcomes over time. It helps doctors learn how to improve care for people who have had a lung transplant.
This study follows people who are getting a double lung transplant and have specific lung-only (or lung-limited) cancer or other serious lung conditions. It’s an observational registry, meaning it collects real-world information to learn which patients may benefit from transplant and how they do afterward.
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.
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.
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 whether using a different method to store a donated heart before transplant improves outcomes. It compares “non-ischemic preservation” versus standard cold storage for people getting a new heart.
