New drug aimed at stopping lung rejection in transplant patients

NCT ID NCT06948097

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a drug called fostamatinib in 30 adults who have developed donor-specific antibodies after a lung transplant. These antibodies can attack the new lung and raise the risk of death. Participants take fostamatinib or a placebo for 8 weeks, along with their usual care, to see if the drug is safe and tolerable. The goal is to find a way to prevent rejection and improve long-term survival.
