Reducing Swelling with a New Lung Preservation Machine
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to preserve donor lungs using a special machine (OCS) instead of the standard cooler method (SCS), with the goal of reducing swelling. It may help make more donor lungs suitable for transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be listed for a double lung transplant.
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You cannot be taking part in any other experimental drug or device trials.
- The donor lung must not have severe injury with air or blood leaks.
- You must sign a consent form to allow use of your health information.

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 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 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 which of two medical devices works better at reconditioning donor lungs before transplant. It may help people waiting for a lung transplant receive healthier lungs.
This trial tests a special way of breathing during lung transplant surgery for people aged 70 and older. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own during the procedure leads to a faster and smoother recovery.
This trial tests a new way of using a breathing machine during surgery that removes part of a lung, aiming to reduce lung damage. It may lead to a smoother recovery after surgery.
