What is being measured

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

  1. Patient Survival

    Patient survival at Day-30 post-transplantation or initial hospital discharge post-transplantation, whichever occurs later.

    Measured: 30 days post-transplantation or initial hospital discharge post-transplantation, a mean of 41.5 days post-transplant

  2. Donor Lung Utilization Rate

    Donor lung utilization rate, defined as the number of donated lungs instrumented on OCS™ that meet inclusion/exclusion criteria for the trial and acceptance criteria for transplantation after OCS™ Lung assessment divided by the total eligible donor lungs instrumented on the OCS™ Lung System.

    Measured: Immediately at Transplantation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Primary Graft Dysfunction Grade 3

    Number of Participants with Primary Graft Dysfunction Grade 3 at T72 hours

    Measured: 72 hours post-transplant

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OCS Lung Preservation in people with Lung Transplantation, run by TransMedics at 14 sites in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Patient Survival (time frame: 30 days post-transplantation or initial hospital discharge post-transplantation, a mean of 41.5 days post-transplant). The study lists 2 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 28 Feb 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
