Blood test could spot lung transplant rejection early
NCT ID NCT07243964
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking for better ways to predict if a lung transplant will be rejected. Researchers will collect blood samples from 244 lung transplant recipients over time and analyze them using advanced techniques. The goal is to create a model that can identify early signs of rejection, allowing doctors to intervene sooner.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a blood test that helps doctors detect lung transplant rejection earlier and more accurately.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to a practical test, and results may not apply to all transplant patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Recipients aged ≥18 years undergoing single or double lung transplantation; 2. Postoperative recipients capable of understanding and providing written informed consent, and willing to comply with scheduled follow-ups and sample collections as required by the study; 3. Postoperative recipients clinically assessed as stable and eligible for routine follow-up and hematological examinations; 4. Recipients able to undergo dynamic pulmonary function monitoring during follow-up; 5. No planned participation in other interventional trials during the study period that may impact immune function or pulmonary function; 6. Retransplant patients will be considered as a new transplant event and may be included in the analysis. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of active malignancy or presence of untreated malignancy within 5 years prior to transplantation; 2. Presence of active systemic infection or significant immune rejection; 3. Female patients who are pregnant or lactating; 4. Any other condition deemed by the investigator to be inappropriate for inclusion .
