20 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of the study is to follow participants who enrolled in the Lung Transplant Outcomes Group. Clinical data, functional assessments, and surveys will be collected to determine long term graft function and functional status of lung transplant recipients.
The use of Allosure to identify and quantify circulating donor-derived cell-free DNA to quantitate allograft injury in the early post-transplant period and determine its relationship to allograft failure.
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.
This study will evaluate if an association exists between levels of blood flow through the pulmonary veins and the incidence of graft dysfunction post operatively.
This project aims to collect detailed clinical data, blood samples, and patient-reported outcomes from 2,600 lung transplant candidates, donors, and recipients at Lung Transplant Centers. The goal is to create a robust resource for various research objectives, including studying the impact of variations in donor and medical practices on clinical outcomes. The project also seeks to identify serum biomarkers associated with or predictive of specific post-transplant complications and conditions.
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 evaluate the diagnostic performance characteristics of AlloSure Lung (dd-cfDNA) to detect a spectrum of rejection (ACR, AMR) and allograft infection (Bacterial, Viral, Fungal, Mycobacterial, Parasitic).
The purpose of this project is to improve mobility in the perioperative period using activity trackers to augment current practice. Delirium and poor functional status following ICU stays are intractable problems for which clear solutions do not exist. Digital health approaches have not been applied to these problems in the ICU setting and may represent a viable and unexplored intervention. The program will involve the utilization of an activity tracker in ambulating patients. There will be two arms to the program. The first will involve the longitudinal study of ambulating lung transplant patients. Patients will be given an activity tracker at time of transplant which will continue throughout their care into their first month at home. The data will be collected to identify correlation between activity and clinical outcomes.
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.
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.
1. to conduct a clinical investigation to determine if inhaled epoprostenol (Veletri®, iEPO) and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) will have similar impact on outcomes in adult patients undergoing durable LVAD placement, heart transplantation, or lung transplantation 2. to conduct a cost-capture analysis on the expense each drug incurs per patient.
The purpose of this study is to determine if transseptal extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can bridge pulmonary hypertension- right heart failure (PH-RVF) patients to lung transplant safely.
A major goal of this protocol is to support biomarker studies in advanced lung diseases, lung transplantation care, and to improve our understanding of the effects of viral and other infectious exposures to outcomes in our lung transplant and ALD patient populations.
This is a proof of concept, single center study for the donation of HCV-positive lungs to HCV negative recipient patients, with preemptive, interventional treatment with 8 weeks of commercially available DAA therapy to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a lung transplantation prior to bone marrow transplantation (BMT) would allow for restoration of pulmonary function prior to BMT, allowing to proceed to BMT, to restore hematologic function.
The primary goal of this study is to assess whether ventilation of deceased organ donors with an open lung protective ventilatory strategy will improve donor lung utilization rates and donor oxygenation compared to a conventional ventilatory strategy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical benefit and characterize the safety profile of tabelecleucel for the treatment of Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD) in the setting of (1) solid organ transplant (SOT) after failure of rituximab (SOT-R) and rituximab plus chemotherapy (SOT-R+C) or (2) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) after failure of rituximab.
We hope to determine the importance of different genes (including B receptors) in anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. This has important benefits to patients exposed to anthracyclines, as this could help determine whether certain individuals have increased susceptibility to cardiac injury.
Activity of genes in donor tissues that are involved in inflammation are thought to be involved with early organ dysfunction, increased immune responses in transplant recipients, and organ rejection. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between genetic expression in donor and recipient tissue with transplant survival. Participants in this study will have received heart, lung, liver, or kidney transplants.
The purpose of this study is to: 1) Remodel and restore left ventricular geometry and function. 2) Avoid the need for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and/or cardiac transplantation (CT). 3) Confirm the outcomes of a pilot study completed in Germany and reported in The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation in May 2013.
Research study evaluating the individual and combined effects of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) and inhaled prostacyclin (iPGI2), on the function of the right heart after surgery for either heart transplant or for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement. The investigators hope to learn if these two medications, when given together after surgery, improve right heart function by lowering blood vessel pressures in the lungs. The investigators hope to learn if the combined effects of these two medications are better than either medication used alone. Participants were selected as a possible participant in this study because right heart problems are common during and after surgery for heart transplant and for LVAD placement. In addition, iNO is always given during and after these two types of surgeries at Stanford to help improve how the right heart functions.
