Trial summary

The morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing lung transplantation in the acute phase following surgical intervention is mainly due to the primary graft failure (PGF). The occurrence of PGF is multi factorial but is mainly caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury. Read more about this study

About this study

The morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing lung transplantation in the acute phase following surgical intervention is mainly due to the primary graft failure (PGF).

The occurrence of PGF is multi factorial but is mainly caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury. The pulmonary graft suffers two periods of ischemia one when it is explanted from the donor (cold ischemia) followed by another when it is grafted into the recipient's thoracic cavity (warm ischemia). The brutal reperfusion of the graft exposes it to reperfusion injury that causes PGF. PGF occurs in up to 20% of transplanted patients and is associated with significantly higher levels of 30-days all-cause mortality. Patients with PGF have a 40% mortality at 30-days versus a 6% mortality in patients without PGF.

Ischemic postconditioning, has recently been described in experimental models of ischemia-reperfusion injury in the heart, and although not yet fully understood. Several studies suggest that the mitochondria play a central role in cellular survival mechanisms after a prolonged period of ischemia-reperfusion (with the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP)).

Experimental studies have shown that cyclosporin A (CsA) administered prior to reperfusion binds to cyclophilin D and blocks the opening of mPTP after reperfusion. This protective effect of ischemia-reperfusion injury by CsA has been shown in experimental studies and in clinical phase II trials in reperfused myocardial infarction patients.

The hypothesis of this study is that the administration of CsA in transplanted patients (before re-opening of the first pulmonary graft vessels) protects the transplanted lung(s) from the deleterious effects of ischemia-reperfusion injury and thus reduce the frequency and severity of PGF.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Cyclosporine A in people with Lung Transplantation, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2019. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PaO2/FiO2 ratio (ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen) (time frame: 2 hours post-lung transplantation). The study lists 9 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 14 Mar 2019.
