NCT ID NCT05837663
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study aims to see if a blood test (dd-cfDNA) can accurately detect rejection in lung transplant patients compared to the standard biopsy method. Researchers will enroll 600 adult lung transplant recipients and compare blood test results with biopsy findings and antibody tests. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor for organ rejection after a lung transplant.
