PHASE1/PHASE2

Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction MRI Study

Sponsor: Sean Fain

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This studies purpose is to confirm the efficacy and efficiency of using OE-MRI and MRI with hyperpolarized gas techniques and Iodinated contrast CT scan, this will enhance understanding of CLAD pathophysiology. Moreover, this project is foundational to performing additional studies to establish if novel MRI imaging can serve as an objective confirmatory diagnostic tool for CLAD in post-transplant patients.

Official title: Validation of MRI, CT and Pulmonary Function Tests for Early Detection of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Spirometry

Spirometry measures lung function, specifically the amount and/or speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Contrast Lung Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

CT scan of the lungs using contrast

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Oxygen enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (OE-MRI) Scan

MRI will be taken while subject is lying on their back breathing 100% oxygen.

DRUG

129Xe MRI scans

MRI will be taken while subject is lying on their back breathing room oxygen and taking a breath of 129Xe and holding it for a few seconds.
