Warm lung transport device aims to cut transplant failure
NCT ID NCT07340710
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device that keeps donor lungs warm and breathing during transport, instead of putting them on ice. The goal is to reduce severe lung swelling (edema) after transplant, which can lead to failure. About 450 lung transplant patients will take part, with two-thirds getting the device and one-third getting standard cold storage.

Active substance
OCS Lung System (a device that keeps donor lungs warm and breathing during transport)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could reduce early lung failure after transplant, helping more patients recover without severe complications.
What could go wrong
This trial hasn't started yet, and the device is compared to standard cold storage. It may not show a clear benefit, and device-related risks are possible.
