Summary: This study is being done to study a safe and non-invasive way to diagnose lung rejection and infection.

Summary: 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.

Summary: Nicotine is the most common preventable cause of death and is responsible for over seven million deaths worldwide. If current trends continue, tobacco will kill more than eight million people worldwide every year by 2030. Smoking tobacco products is the most important risk factor for the development of lung cancer. Passive smoking is also a major cause of lung cancer. Since July 2024, smokers and ...

Summary: This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multinational, multicenter, parallel-group, Phase 3, 2-arm, study will investigate the efficacy and safety of belumosudil compared with placebo, both administered on top of azithromycin and standard-of-care regimen of immunosuppression in male or female participants at least 1 year after bilateral lung transplant, who are at least 18 years of age ...

Summary: Demonstrate the relationship between dd-cfDNA levels and HLA antibodies in blood transplant recipient and Demonstrate the Molecular Microscope® (MMDx) Diagnostic System results in indication and protocol biopsies from lung transplants.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to see if taking the study drug, Belumosudil, for 52 weeks in addition to your usual care and medication, will prevent Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) in participants who have a lung biopsy that shows evidence of rejection or inflammation to the transplanted lung(s). For this study, biopsies that show evidence of Acute Rejection (AR), Lymphocytic Bronchioliti...

Summary: Lung transplant recipient survival lags other solid organ recipients, with the main early cause of death being primary graft dysfunction (PGD). PGD occurs in up to 1/3 of all recipients, is driven by the body's innate immune response, and has no known medical therapies for treatment or prevention. Investigators have recently shown that Natural Killer (NK) cells, a key innate immune cell, are criti...

Summary: Transbronchial cryobiopsy is a relatively recent technique, increasingly used for the diagnosis of various respiratory diseases, including neoplasms, diffuse interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), and rejection after lung transplantation. Currently, its use is included in European recommendations for the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases. EBUS-cryobiopsy, on the other hand, has proven useful in ...

Summary: 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.

Summary: Fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (FILDs) encompass a group of rare diseases characterized by progressive pulmonary fibrosis leading to respiratory failure. Current treatments primarily aim to slow disease progression but remain limited, making lung transplantation the ultimate recourse. The development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in the context of FILDs significantly worsens morbidity and m...

Summary: The purpose of this research study is to see if participating in Latin dance for 12 sessions can improve wellbeing in several areas including balance, fear of movement, anxiety, depression and spirometry.

Summary: The purpose of this research is to study the effect of training the inspiratory muscles (i.e. the muscle that allow you to breath-in) on exercise capacity, quality of life, and short-term clinical outcomes in patients post lung transplant.
