3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of inhaled nitric oxide on both short-term physiology as well as on the development of ischemia-reperfusion lung injury (IRLI) in the immediate post transplant period. The specific hypothesis is that inhaled NO post lung transplantation will improve gas exchange/hemodynamic and thus reduce the development of post transplant IRLI.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the use of inhaled anesthetics, compared to intravenous anesthetics, can affect the amount of lung inflammation and postoperative respiratory complications seen after cardiac surgery.
The objective of this clinical study was to evaluate whether CXCL8 (CXC ligand 8 \[formerly interleukin (IL)-8\]) inhibition with repertaxin leads to reduced severity of primary graft dysfunction, as the result of improved functional and clinical outcomes in lung transplantation patients. The safety of repertaxin in the specific clinical setting was also evaluated. The ability of repertaxin to reduce target cells (polymorphonuclear leukocyte \[PMN\]) infiltration into the graft was evaluated to confirm its mechanism of action.
