A Study to Evaluate Increasing Lung Transplant Availability Using Normothermic Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) at a Dedicated EVLP Facility

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Centralized Lung Evaluation System (CLES) in enabling evaluation of potential donor lungs not otherwise used for transplant into subjects with end stage, survival-limiting lung disease in need of lung transplantation. This will be accomplished by evaluating subject survival at the later of 6 months or hospital discharge post-transplant.

  • Patients listed for multiple-organ transplantation including lung and any other organ.
  • Patients listed for live donor lobar lung transplant.
  • Patients positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or Burkholderia cepacia infection.
