Lung Transplant clinical trials at University of California Health

12 in progress, 5 open to eligible people

Showing trials for
  • LAM-001 in Lung Transplant Recipients With Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome.

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of LAM-001 in patients who have developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a form of chronic rejection, after lung transplantation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is LAM-001 safe in these patients? - Is LAM-001 effective in slowing BOS progression? Participants will: - Be randomly assigned to inhale either LAM-001 or placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active drug) daily for 48 weeks - Attend 10 study visits (mixture of in-person and telehealth) over the 48 week period - Undergo pulmonary function testing, bronchoscopy, lab testing, and physical examination - Submit weekly home spirometry monitoring Researchers will compare participants assigned to LAM-001 versus placebo to see if LAM-001 is safely tolerated and to assess the effectiveness of LAM-001 on slowing BOS progression.

  • ARINA-1 in the Prevention of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Progression in Participants With Bilateral Lung Transplant

    open to eligible people ages 18-75

    The goal of this clinical trial is to compare ARINA-1 plus Standard of Care vs Standard of Care alone. The main question it aims to answer are: - Evaluate the effectiveness of ARINA-1 in preventing bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) progression in participants with a bilateral lung transplant - To evaluate the effectiveness of ARINA-1 on improving quality of life decline and preventing or delaying the use of augmented immunosuppression in participants with pre-BOS relative to SOC. Participants will have clinic visits at screening, randomization (day 1) and weeks 4, 12, 18, and 24. After week 24, participants will have clinic visits at weeks 32, 40, and 48. Participants will also have a telehealth visit on day 2 and phone calls to assess adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and review patient education will occur during weeks 5, 8, 36, and 44.

  • TEE and Dysphagia in Lung Transplantation

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The primary outcome of this study is dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) on postoperative speech and swallow evaluation following lung transplantation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (creates pictures of the heart from inside the participants body) is routinely performed for all lung transplantations at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and it is the standard of care. Patients are randomized to two groups. The intervention group would limit the number of TEE clips (# pictures taken) per case. The control group would leave the number of TEE clips to the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist. The investigators hypothesize that reduction in TEE imaging during lung transplantation will reduce dysphagia.

  • AlloSure Lung Assessment and Metagenomics Outcomes Study

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    ALAMO is a prospective, multi-center, perspective, registry of patients receiving LungCare™ (AlloSure®-Lung, AlloMap Lung, and HistoMap for surveillance post-transplant. This study aims to investigate the clinical utility of AlloSure®-Lung for surveillance of the spectrum of rejection and infection events in concert with standard of practice (SOP) post-transplant medical care in a robust lung transplant population. The AlloID™ metagenomics NGS plasma test will be collected and performed for research to validate this molecular diagnostic tool versus SOP microbiologic techniques for detection of allograft infection events.

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Single-arm, prospective, multi-center, post-approval U.S. registry

  • Liposome Cyclosporine A to Treat Bronchiolitis Obliterans Post Single Lung Transplant (BOSTON-1)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The objective of the trial is to assess efficacy and safety of add-on aerosolized liposomal cyclosporine A (L-CsA) to Standard of Care (SoC) therapy as compared to SoC therapy alone in the treatment of Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in single lung transplant recipients.

  • Liposome Cyclosporine A to Treat Bronchiolitis Obliterans Post Single Lung Transplant (BOSTON-2)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The objective of the trial is to assess efficacy and safety of add-on aerosolized liposomal cyclosporine A (L-CsA) to Standard of Care (SoC) therapy as compared to SoC therapy alone in the treatment of Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in double lung transplant recipients.

  • Extension Trial on Efficacy / Safety of L-CsA + SoC in Treating BOS in Post Single or Double Lung Transplant (BOSTON-3)

    Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only

    The objective of the trial is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of L-CsA plus Standard of Care (SoC) in the treatment of BOS in single (SLT) and double lung transplant (DLT) recipients.

  • Lung Transplant READY CF 2: A Multi-site RCT

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    Lung transplant is an option for treating end-stage lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). In the United States, more people with CF and low lung function die each year than undergo lung transplant. More than half of people with CF who die without a lung transplant were never referred for consideration. Patient preference not to undergo lung transplant may account for 25-40% of decisions to defer referral. Rates of death without transplant are higher for people with CF who are members of marginalized communities, including those with Black race, Hispanic ethnicity, or low socioeconomic status. Increasing awareness of lung transplant among people with CF, and promoting understanding of the risks and benefits of transplant, can potentially reduce the number of people with CF who die without a lung transplant. The CF Foundation (CFF) lung transplant referral guidelines were developed to optimize the timing of referral for lung transplant. These guidelines recommend annual conversations with people with CF once their forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) is <50% predicted. Considering lung transplant as a treatment option before it is medically needed will allow more time to learn about lung transplant and address any barriers to lung transplant that may exist. Investigators are interested in understanding how people with CF use lung transplant educational resources and how one prepares for having discussions and/or making decisions about lung transplant as a treatment option for advanced CF. The purpose of this study is to test whether a research website improves patient preparedness for discussions about lung transplant. Investigators also aim to understand whether there are unique factors that affect people with CF from communities with decreased access to transplant ("communities of concern"). Study involvement will span 6 months and study activities will involve the following: - Four Zoom research sessions (15-30 minutes each) - Survey assessments - Access to a research website that contains educational resources about lung transplant - Audio recording of a routine CF clinic visit to determine if and how lung transplant is discussed between a participant and his/her/their CF doctor

  • Tocilizumab in Lung Transplantation

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    This is a trial in which 350 primary lung transplant recipients will be randomized (1:1) to receive either Tocilizumab (six doses over 20 weeks) plus standard triple maintenance immunosuppression or placebo (sterile normal saline) plus standard triple maintenance immunosuppression (Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil, corticosteroids). The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that treatment with triple maintenance immunosuppression plus Tocilizumab (TCZ) is superior to triple maintenance immunosuppression plus placebo (saline) as defined by a composite endpoint of a) CLAD, b) listed for re-transplantation, and c) death

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of the study is to continue to follow subjects who were enrolled in the CTOT-20 CLAD Phenotypes study. Subjects will provide clinical data and complete quality of life questionnaires that will be used to determine the clinical factors associated with the development of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplant.
