Special MRI could spot lung rejection early, saving transplants
NCT ID NCT07046910
First seen Mar 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special MRI using inhaled xenon gas can detect early signs of rejection in lung transplant patients. Researchers will compare MRI results with lung function tests and cell analysis from fluid samples. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to catch rejection sooner, which could help prevent long-term graft failure.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 gas
What this could lead to
If successful, this MRI method could allow doctors to detect lung transplant rejection earlier and more accurately, potentially improving patient outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (60 participants) focused on diagnosis, not treatment. The MRI technique may not prove reliable enough for routine use.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
As listed by the trial registrant
