Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include men and women over 15 years old who are scheduled for a lung transplant or are being monitored post-transplant at Foch Hospital.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, have severe anemia, or are unable to provide informed consent may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers associated with lung transplant dysfunction, which is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in lung transplant recipients. By collecting biological samples from patients undergoing lung transplantation or being followed post-transplant at Foch Hospital, the study will analyze the underlying mechanisms of transplant rejection and failure. The research focuses on understanding the pathophysiological processes through transcriptomics, gene polymorphisms, and cell phenotyping, which will be contextualized with clinical data. This comprehensive approach seeks to improve early diagnosis and management of lung transplant complications.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for lung transplant recipients, potentially enhancing their long-term survival.
How similar studies have gone: While lung transplantation has been extensively studied, the specific focus on identifying biomarkers for dysfunction is a novel approach that has not been widely tested.
