NCT02631720

Brief Summary

While many patients experience benefits from transplant, complications such as infections and lung rejection may affect long term survival and quality of life. In this study doctors are looking at a complication called Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD). CLAD is thought to be chronic rejection of the lung by the immune system and is the leading cause of death after lung transplantation. The purpose of this study is to help doctors determine:

  • why some people get CLAD and others do not
  • how patients who get CLAD do after CLAD is diagnosed
  • how CLAD may affect quality of life

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time from transplant to Restrictive Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (RCLAD) or Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS).

    First occurrence of either phenotype.

    90 days post-transplant until study completion or participant withdrawal (up to 4 years post-transplant)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Longitudinal Quality of life (QOL) trajectory

    Baseline until study completion or participant withdrawal (up to 4 years post-transplant)

  • Mechanistic: Chemokine/cytokine Quantification of Type 1 and Type 17 immune profile proteins

    Baseline until study completion or participant withdrawal (up to 4 years post-transplant)

Study Population

Adult lung transplant recipients undergoing lung transplant at each of the participating centers.

You may qualify if:

  • Individuals who meet all of the following criteria are eligible for enrollment as study participants:
  • Subject must be able to understand and provide written informed consent and
  • Must be ≥18 years of age at the time of written informed consent.
  • Anticipated listing for lung transplantation OR within 45 days of having received a single or bilateral cadaveric donor lung transplant.
  • \- Enrollment must occur prior to the start of bronchoscopies eligible for research bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) sampling.
  • Undergoing first lung transplant operation.
  • Transplant surgery to be performed or performed at enrolling center.
  • Note: Concurrent participation in immune monitoring studies or interventional device trials are permitted.

You may not qualify if:

  • Individuals who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for enrollment as study participants:
  • Multi-organ recipient.
  • Prior recipients of any solid organ transplant, including prior lung transplant.
  • Prior or concurrent recipient of bone marrow transplant.
  • HIV infection.
  • Any condition which the investigators feel would make it unlikely for the recipient to complete follow up procedures or complete the study.
  • Participation in an investigational drug trial at the time of enrollment visit.
