About this study

Chronic allograft rejection of the transplanted lung (CLAD) is a major health issue in patients after lung transplant. This study is a registry-forming study with concurrent tissue banking from surveillance bronchoscopy in addition to extra tissue sampling of blood and urine. Patients will be characterized by usual clinical phenotyping and the latest imaging methods so that diseased condition underlying CLAD can be better understood.

Read the detailed description

Chronic allograft rejection of the transplanted lung (CLAD) is a major health issue that lead to almost 50% mortality within 5 years from the time of lung transplant. In the past CLAD was exclusively occurring in small airways causing a condition called "Bronchiolitis Obliteran Syndrome" (BOS). However, recently many have observed restrictive changes in lung physiology with or without parenchymal abnormalities. This new CLAD is called RAS or RCLAD. What is also concerning is that RAS is thought to be associated with disproportionally high morbidity and mortality. This clinical trial intends to create a registry of patients who completed lung transplant and who are undergoing routine surveillance bronchoscopy. A subgroup of patients will be characterized by hyper polarized gas magnetic resonance image to enhance detection of CLAD, and to be correlated between the MRI imaging results and clinical/biochemical results. This study is anticipated to advance our understanding of CLAD which is currently inevitably fatal outcome among patients after lung transplant.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lung transplant recipient without MRI imagingDiagnostic test

    Also called Routine Lung Transplant Surveillance

    Patients who received lung transplant and undergoing surveillance follow-up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after the date of lung transplant, but without consenting to be evaluated by hyperbolized gas MRI. Bronchoscopy sampling will be performed per usual lung transplant team protocol.

  • Lung transplant recipient with MRI imagingDrug

    Also called Lung Transplant Surveillance with hyper polarized gas MRI

    Patients who received lung transplant and undergoing surveillance follow-up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after the date of lung transplant and with consenting to be evaluated by hyperbolized has MRI. Bronchoscopy sampling will be guided by the results of the hyper polarized gas MRI, different from the usual lung transplant team protocol. Administration of hyper polarized gas MRI is under FDA regulation by IND #129769 (PI, Yun Michael Shim, MD)

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful collection of all samples as proposed.

    Completion of surveillance bronchoscopy and other tissue collection at planned surveillance (24 months after the date of lung transplant surgery)

    Measured: 24 months after the date of lung transplant surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lung transplant recipient without MRI imaging and Lung transplant recipient with MRI imaging in people with Chronic Rejection of Lung Transplant, run by University of Virginia at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 10 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2024. 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Successful collection of all samples as proposed. (time frame: 24 months after the date of lung transplant surgery). 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 18 Nov 2024.
