Filter by:In patients with acute rejection after lung transplantation the peptide profile in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) and urine should be compared in order to identify a paradigm that allows an non-invasive rejection therapy.
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a severe lung complication that can occur in the days after lung transplant surgery. This study will analyze blood samples to determine if high levels of certain chemicals may increase the risk of developing PGD after a lung transplant.
1. Working Hypothesis: The purpose of the trial is to study the effect of exogenous calf surfactant (calfactant) on the prevention of primary graft failure due to ischemic-reperfusion lung injury in lung transplant patients. 2. Aims of the Study: The purpose of the trial is to study the effect of exogenous calf surfactant (calfactant) on the prevention of primary graft failure due to ischemic-reperfusion lung injury in lung transplant patients.
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a severe lung injury that can occur in the days following lung transplant surgery. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic factors that may put someone at risk for developing PGD.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether dry powder inhalation of Cyclosporine A is beneficial in lung transplant patients with Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome. For patients suffering from this syndrome often no therapeutic options are available. Furthermore, the side effects of the maintenance therapy leaves no room for dose increments. The hypothesis for this trial is that when Cyclosporine A is administered locally (in the lungs) chronic rejection can be treated more effectively without extra systemic side effects.
The researchers are investigating a novel technique, the multi breath nitrogen washout technique, to measure airway changes in various respiratory diseases.
