Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether TNFa antibody use before lung transplant can prevent kidney injury after lung transplant.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Etanercept Injection [Enbrel]
Early Phase 1

Detailed Description

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written consent who undergo a lung transplant will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the treatment or control group. Patients randomized to the treatment group will receive one dose of the study drug, Etanercept, via subcutaneous injection just prior to the lung transplant. Patients randomized to the control group will not receive Etanercept. Both groups will receive standard lung transplant care after implantation.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Etanercept

Participants receive one dose (25mg) Etanercept via subcutaneous injection just prior to lung transplant. Following transplant, participants receive standard lung transplant care.

Drug: Etanercept Injection [Enbrel]
25 mg subcutaneous injection

No Intervention: Control

Participants receive standard lung transplant care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Occurrence of kidney dysfunction immediately after lung transplant [Immediately after lung transplant]

    Measured by serum creatinine blood tests

  2. Occurrence of kidney dysfunction post-operatively within 1 week after lung transplant [Within 1-7 days after lung transplant]

    Measured by serum creatinine blood tests

  3. Occurrence of kidney dysfunction post-operatively within 1 month after lung transplant [Up to 30 days after lung transplant]

    Measured by serum creatinine blood tests

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Occurrence of primary graft dysfunction [Within 3 days post-transplant]

    Measured by arterial blood gas (ABG) blood tests and chest X-rays

  2. Length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay [Through study completion, an average of 1 year]

    Measured by number of days in the ICU post-transplant

  3. Length of ventilator use [Through study completion, an average of 1 year]

    Measured by number of days on a ventilator post-transplant

  4. Survival [30 days, 90 days, and one year survival post-transplant]

    Alive or dead post-transplant
