Tiny lung cells may hold key to early detection of deadly transplant complication
NCT ID NCT04604522
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at abnormal cells in the lungs of 15 people who developed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after a stem cell or lung transplant. Researchers want to understand these cells better so doctors can spot the disease earlier in future patients. Participants will have extra brushings during a routine bronchoscopy to collect cell samples.
