Lung Transplant Program

Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. Trifecta-Lung CfDNA-MMDx Study

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the relationship between dd-cfDNA levels and HLA antibodies in blood transplant recipient and Demonstrate the Molecular Microscope® (MMDx) Diagnostic System results in indication and protocol biopsies from lung transplants.

2. A Trial of Venoarterial ECMO vs Off-Pump Bilateral Orthotopic Lung Transplantation

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether off-pump bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation (BOLT) or venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) lung transplantation results in higher PGD grade 3 at 48-72 hours, mortality at 90 days, and the combination of these two endpoints.

   Secondly, to determine whether off-pump or VA ECMO lung transplantation has more red blood cell transfusion (intraoperative plus the first 24 hours in the ICU), chest tube output the first 24 hours, incidence of re-exploration for bleeding, air emboli, stroke, PGD grade 3 at T0 and T24, pneumonia, need for dialysis, rejection, bronchial dehiscence, tracheostomy, length of mechanical ventilation, and hospital length of stay.

3. A Study to Explore Ghrelin Levels with Primary Graft Dysfunction in Lung Transplant Recipients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate ghrelin, a peptide that mechanistically carries the promise of therapeutics benefit for diverse aspects of morbidity associated with lung transplantation.

4. Donor-Specific Cell Free DNA Monitoring of Thoracic Allografts

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if DNA originating from the transplanted heart or lung can be detected in the blood and used to monitor for rejection.

5. A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Physiological Function and Clinical Outcomes Following Lung Transplant

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to to mechanistically investigate the effect of specific inspiratory muscle training on respiratory function, exercise capacity, health-related quality-of-life, and short-term clinical outcomes in patients after lung transplant.

6. A Study To Test How Effective Belumosudil Tablets Are For Treating Adult Participants With Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (ROCKaspire)

   Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of belumosudil compared with placebo, both administered on top of azithromycin and standard-of-care regimen of immunosuppression in male or female participants at least 1 year after bilateral lung transplant, who are at least 18 years of age and who have evidence of progressive CLAD despite azithromycin therapy.

   
    

7. A Study to Evaluate the Safety of the SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination in Patients Waitlisted for Solid Organ Transplantation

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients listed for solid organ transplantation, including heart, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas.
