Filter by:The goal of this prospective study is to compare rapid molecular technique BioFire Pneumonia Panel Filmarray and conventional culture-based methods in the microbiologic diagnosis on bronchoalveolar lavage of lung transplant patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - determine the microbiological concordance between molecular diagnostic and conventional culture techniques on donor's bronchoalveolar lavage before lung transplantation - determine the microbiological concordance between molecular diagnostic and conventional culture techniques on recipient's bronchoalveolar lavage, performed 72 hours after lung transplantation - determine the microbiological concordance between molecular diagnostic and conventional culture techniques in detecting molecular resistance patterns - determine the difference in time to microbiological results between molecular diagnostic and conventional culture techniques - determine time to clinical decision based on molecular diagnostic techniques compared to conventional culture techniques
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 investigate the clinical utility of AlloSure®-Lung for surveillance of the spectrum of rejection and infection events in concert with standard of practice (SOP) post-transplant medical care in a robust lung transplant population. The AlloID™ metagenomics NGS plasma test will be collected and performed for research to validate this molecular diagnostic tool versus SOP microbiologic techniques for detection of allograft infection events.
The success of transplantation is significantly hindered by the lack of sufficient number of available donors. Many potential donor organs cannot be utilized in clinical transplantation because donors have chronic viral infections such as hepatitis C (HCV) infection. This study will test the possibility of safely transplanting organs from HCV-infected donors into HCV-uninfected recipients. Prior to transplantation, recipients will receive an initial dose of highly effective antiviral prophylaxis using approved direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir (G/P) and they will also receive ezetimibe, a cholesterol-lowering medication that also blocks entry of HCV into liver cells. They will then receive daily dosing of the same medications for 7 days after transplant. The aim of the study is to show that transplantation of organs from HCV+ donors is safe in the era of DAAs. The investigators hypothesize that rates of HCV transmission to recipients will be prevented by the use of DAA prophylaxis and any HCV transmission that does occur will be readily treatable and curable. If successful, the knowledge from this study can have a large impact to patients with end stage organ diseases by providing a large novel source of donors for organ transplantations.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical significance of community-acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infection in patients with lung transplantation;Explore the lung microbiome dynamics within one year after lung transplantation;Find the relationship between lung microbiome and chronic lung allograft dysfunction(CLAD).
