Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients receiving double lung transplantation

Who may be able to join

  • Double lung transplantation for primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), Fibrosis, cystic fibrosis (CF), Emphysema
  • No restrictions regarding donor lungs (marginal donors, EVLP possible)
  • No restrictions regarding size reduction (anatomic wedge resections, three lobar, lobar transplantations)

Who cannot join

  • Single-lung transplantation
  • Heart-lung transplantation
  • Re-transplantation
  • Patients with bridge-to-transplantation with a mechanical assist device (extra-corporal membrane oxygenation (v/v, v/a), PA/LA Novalung, ILAactive, ILA)
  • Clinical situations leading to inaccurate PiCCO measurements e.g. intracardiac shunts, significant tricuspid regurgitation, cooling
  • No access to the femoral artery possible
  • Severe postoperative hemorrhage, which leads to hematothorax and makes revision surgery necessary

About this study

Official title: Finding New Criteria for a Revised Primary Graft Dysfunction Score in Lung Transplantation - a Pilot Study

The validity of several functional parameters, which could be included in a new PGD scoring system, will be tested in a prospective pilot study of 80 consecutive bilateral lung transplant recipients in high volume lung transplant centers. Functional parameters will be collected at different time points within the first 72hrs after lung transplantation and their accuracy in predicting clinical outcome as well as their correlation with lung water content (measured by PiCCO) will be tested. Insights will serve to generate a hypothesis (a novel PGD score), which can then be tested in future prospective trials.

Being tested
PiCCO Catheter

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PiCCO CatheterDevice

    The PiCCO Catheter is an investigational device intended to measure lung water content in individuals requiring advanced haemodynamic monitoring. The device system is to be used only in accordance with the approved Investigational Plan on subjects who have signed an informed consent form. Device use is limited to the approved study investigators.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary graft dysfunction

    Measured: 72 hours after transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Transplant; Complications, run by Assoc.-Prof. Dr. Konrad Hoetzenecker, PhD at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Austria, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Konrad Hoetzenecker, MD, PhD (0043140400 ext. 56990, konrad.hoetzenecker@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary graft dysfunction (time frame: 72 hours after transplantation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Sep 2017.
