Study Summary

This trial looks at using a new method, Allosure, to identify and quantify cell-free DNA in order to better understand allograft injury and its relationship to allograft failure.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have recently received a lung transplant and can consent to participate. They must understand English to follow the study procedures. People with previous transplants, multi-organ transplants, or those unable to have blood drawn are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Allosure, a method of measuring donor-derived cell-free DNA in the bloodstream of new lung transplant recipients. The goal is to see if this can predict early signs of organ rejection and long-term success of the transplant.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since Allosure involves regular blood tests rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort at the blood draw site and bruising.
