NCT ID: NCT05581745 Recruiting - Lung Transplant Clinical Trials

A2 to O Lung Transplants

Start date: July 14, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Blood group A2 to blood group O kidney and liver transplants have been shown to be safe and successful, especially in recipients with low pre-operative anti-A antibody titers and with the use of peri-operative antibody-depleting therapies. Since blood group O lung transplant candidates tend to have longer wait times and a higher waitlist mortality compared to other blood groups, we propose to conduct a prospective study of lung transplantation from blood group A2 donors to eligible blood group O recipients in an effort to increase the available donor pool. The aim of this study is to determine both the feasibility and safety of this specific type of ABO-incompatible lung transplant, and the impact of this practice on reducing transplant wait times among blood group O lung transplant candidates. This would represent the first prospective study of ABO-incompatible lung transplants worldwide.

NCT ID: NCT00917007 Withdrawn - Neonatal Jaundice Clinical Trials

Measurement of Carboxyhemoglobin by Gas Chromatography as an Index of Hemolysis

Start date: June 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this research study is to more accurately measure the amount of true red blood cell breakdown (hemolysis) in newborn babies with potentially problematic blood type mismatch with their mothers (ABO incompatibility), and to examine how the true level of red blood cell destruction relates to other laboratory tests obtained in newborns with jaundice. A better understanding of the true amount of red blood cell destruction that is caused by blood type mismatch, as well as how it relates with other laboratory tests ordered for ABO incompatibility and red blood cell destruction, would help avoid unnecessary testing, treatment and prolonged hospital stays in such babies.
