This study looks at using the OCS™ Lung System to preserve donor lungs for transplant. OCS™ stands for Organ Care System, and it helps keep lungs healthy until transplant. Patients who receive lungs from donors, whether the donors meet standard criteria or were initially declined, will be part of this study. This includes both single and double lung transplants. The study aims to enroll enough patients until they reach a specific number (266) for detailed analysis. Patients are grouped based on the type of lungs they receive, and the study will track their progress.
- The study includes multiple centers, meaning you may need to travel for follow-ups.
- There is no mention of compensation, so it's likely participation is voluntary.
- Risks are similar to regular lung transplants, but using the OCS™ Lung System might help preserve lung quality.
