Understanding Lung Rejection After Transplant
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows people with serious lung disease before and after lung transplant to understand how rejection happens and what warning signs to watch for. By studying your blood, tissue samples, and imaging, researchers hope to better predict and prevent transplant rejection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
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.
This study tests whether the drug tocilizumab can help prevent your body from rejecting a new lung after transplant. It might help improve the success of your transplant by reducing immune system activity.
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 uses a special MRI scan (called hyperpolarized gas MRI) to check for signs of lung rejection after a transplant. The goal is to see if the MRI can help detect rejection earlier and more safely than standard bronchoscopy alone.
This study follows people getting a stem cell transplant to watch for lung problems, like infections or other lung diseases, that can happen after the transplant. The goal is to catch these issues early.
