Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Healthy Population

Who may be able to join

  • Allo-HCT recipients who are at least 18 years of age and have BOS (n=10 patients), BOS 0p (n = 10 patients), or cGVHD of a non-lung organ without evidence of pulmonary impairment (n = 5 patients).
  • Healthy Cohort - Inclusion Criteria:
  • We will perform only XeMRI imaging on 10 healthy adult (18 years and older) volunteers with no medical issues for technical calibration of the XeMRI technology. Members of the study team may serve as healthy volunteers if they have no prior history of lung disease. These data will not be included as part of the analysis.

Who cannot join

  • Participants unable to follow up at MD Anderson for routine clinical care
  • Inability or unwillingness to give informed consent
  • Relapsed disease or life expectancy less than 6 months at time of enrollment
  • Severe claustrophobia precluding MRI imaging
  • Active pulmonary infection
  • Pregnant women

About this study

This study is designed to measure the correlation of hyperpolarized 129-Xe magnetic resonance imaging (129-XeMRI) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients at MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) who develop bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) or BOS stage 0p (pulmonary impairment not meeting the definition for BOS, defined below) and controls with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD).

The primary objective of the study is to correlate 129-Xenon measures of ventilation, gas exchange, and pulmonary circulation with spirometric and quantitative CT measurements.

A secondary objective is to determine whether measurement of 129-Xe MRI characteristics in patients with BOS stage 0p can predict BOS progression 6 months after enrollment.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to correlate 129-Xenon measures of ventilation, gas exchange, and pulmonary circulation with spirometric and quantitative CT measurements.

A secondary objective is to assess the differences in 129-Xe MRI characteristics between patients with and without OS progression at 6 months after enrollment. Other secondary objectives include the assessment of the relationship of VDP, barrier defects (continuous variable), and circulation defects (continuous variable) with pulmonary function, quantitative CT measurements, SGRQ, and SF-6D.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary and Pneumonia, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 3 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2026. 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.

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?

Contact Ajay Sheshadri ((713) 563-1987, asheshadri@mdanderson.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To correlate 129-Xenon measures of ventilation, gas exchange, and pulmonary circulation with spirometric and quantitative CT measurements. (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 25 Aug 2026.
