Evaluating pregnancy risks in women with lung transplants

Immunologic Risk of Pregnancy in Women With Lung Transplant

Observational Nantes University Hospital · NCT05689905

This study is trying to understand the risks of pregnancy for women who have had lung transplants by looking at how their immune systems react to their babies.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the immunological risks associated with pregnancy in women who have undergone lung transplantation. It builds on previous research by examining the relationship between humoral rejection and the presence of common antigens between the child and the lung donor. The study will involve collecting HLA typing from children born to these women to identify potential immunological risks. The findings are expected to inform recommendations for managing pregnancies in lung transplant recipients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include children born to female lung transplant recipients in France between 2012 and 2021.

Not a fit: Patients who are not children of lung transplant recipients or those whose mothers did not consent to participate will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical insights that help manage and reduce the immunological risks of pregnancy for women with lung transplants.

How similar studies have performed: While previous studies have explored related topics, this specific approach of evaluating humoral rejection risks in the context of pregnancy among lung transplant recipients is relatively novel.
