Lung reconditioning devices for transplant
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are willing to give informed consent to participate.
- The donor lung comes from a donor older than 55, a smoker, or a lung with certain health issues (like poor oxygen exchange or partial collapse).
- The donor lung is from a donor after circulatory death (DCD), as defined by the Maastricht classification.
- The donor lung does not have a bruise, blood clot, or signs of infection.

This trial tests whether adding a special filtering treatment (hemodiafiltration) during the lung reconditioning process (EVLP) can help improve marginal donor lungs before transplant. It aims to see if more lungs can be used for patients waiting for a transplant.
This trial is testing a new way of managing breathing during lung transplant surgery in patients who are very ill and need an urgent transplant. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own (instead of using a breathing tube) can help you recover better after surgery.
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 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 study looks at using a heart–lung machine (ECMO) to reduce complications and deaths after a lung transplant. It focuses on people getting a lung transplant who have certain types of lung-vessel (pulmonary) pressure problems.
This study tests a new way of doing lung transplant surgery where you stay breathing on your own during the operation instead of using a breathing tube. The goal is to help you recover faster in the hospital after the transplant.
