New registry aims to boost lung transplants by reconditioning donor lungs
NCT ID NCT05101460
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This registry follows 315 people who received a lung transplant after the donor lung was treated with the XVIVO Perfusion System, a device that keeps lungs warm and oxygenated outside the body. Researchers are tracking survival and lung function for up to 5 years to see how well these lungs perform long-term. The goal is to gather real-world data on safety and effectiveness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- XVIVO Perfusion System with STEEN Solution
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that EVLP helps more donor lungs become usable for transplant, potentially increasing the number of lung transplants available.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove EVLP is better than standard care. Results may not apply to all transplant centers.

Who is studied
This is an "All Comers Registry" hence, no specific investigator sites. All patients receiving EVLP lungs treated with XPS™ will be included in the registry without eligibility criteria or pre-selection. Since the registry collects only standard-of-care data and requires no additional procedures or risks to the subject, a waiver of consent is appropriate
