Could an HIV drug protect new lungs after transplant?
NCT ID NCT06853223
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether Maraviroc, a drug already approved for HIV, can prevent a serious lung injury called primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after a lung transplant. PGD is a major cause of death in the first year after transplant, and there are no approved treatments for it. About 120 adults getting a double lung transplant will receive either Maraviroc or a placebo for 3 days after surgery. Researchers will compare how many develop severe PGD and how well they recover.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female ≥18 years of age at the time of lung transplant waitlisting. 2. Listed for a bilateral lung transplantation. 3. Written informed consent obtained from subject or subject's legal representative and ability for subject to comply with the requirements of the study. 4. PGD risk score \> 50% at the time of donor organ offer 5. Planned induction with basiliximab, mycophenolatge, and prednisone and routine maintenance immunosuppression of tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Recipient scheduled to receive alternate induction regimen that is cell depleting such as anti-thymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab. 2. Active chronic pulmonary infection in the recipient that are considered relative contraindications to lung transplantation such as Burkholderia or Mycobacterium abscessus. 3. Recipients receiving HIV, HCV or HBV positive donor organs. Only documented infections are considered exclusion criteria. Recipients receiving increased risk organs will not be excluded. 4. Recipient listed for concurrent heart or other solid organ transplantation. 5. Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data.
