NCT ID NCT05950724
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a TNF-alpha antibody before lung transplant can prevent kidney injury that often happens after surgery. About 20 adults waiting for a lung transplant at Northwestern Memorial Hospital will take part. Researchers will measure kidney function and other outcomes like lung function and hospital stay length.
