Trial summary

Only about 15% of the potential candidates for lung donation are considered suitable for transplantation. A new method for ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been developed and can be used for evaluation and reconditioning of "marginal" and unacceptable lungs. Read more about this study

About this study

Only about 15% of the potential candidates for lung donation are considered suitable for transplantation. A new method for ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been developed and can be used for evaluation and reconditioning of "marginal" and unacceptable lungs. The ´purpose of this study is to analyse the executability and safety of ex vivo lung perfusion pulmonary ex vivo in marginal donors.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 30-days mortality

    Measured: 30 days after ex vivo lung transplantation

  2. Respiratory complications (primary graft dysfunction, infection, rejection, bronchiolitis obliterates syndrome)

    Measured: 30 days after the ex vivo lung transplantation

  3. 12-months survival

    Measured: 12 months survival after ex vivo lung transplantation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2)on ICU arrival and 72 hours

    Measured: 72 hours after ex vivo lung transplantation

  2. Mechanical ventilation time

    Measured: 30 days after ex vivo lung transplantation

  3. Hospital and ICU time of stay

    Measured: 12 months after ex vivo lung transplantation

  4. Non-respiratory complications (arrhythmia, renal failure, sepsis)

    Measured: 30 days after ex vivo lung transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ex vivo lung transplantation in people with Respiratory Tract Diseases, run by InCor Heart Institute at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Fabio B Jatene, PhD (+55-11-3069-5197, fabiojatene@incor.usp.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

30-days mortality (time frame: 30 days after ex vivo lung transplantation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2011.
