No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to take a population of lung transplant recipients who meet UCLA criteria for induction chemotherapy with thymoglobulin and prospectively study weather giving the first dose intraoperatively versus postoperatively makes a difference with how patients do during and after lung transplantation.

Conditions

  • Lung Transplant

Interventions

DRUG

thymoglobulin (intraoperative)

All patients (Arm I and Arm II) will receive 3 doses of thymoglobulin at 1.5mg/kg IV over 6 hours; only the timing of the medication is being altered. Each arm will also receive a single placebo dose. Arm I will receive thymoglobulin intraoperatively followed by a postoperative placebo dose and two subsequent thymoglobulin doses.

DRUG

thymoglobulin (postoperative)

All patients (Arm I and Arm II) will receive 3 doses of thymoglobulin at 1.5mg/kg IV over 6 hours; only the timing of the medication is being altered. Each arm will also receive a single placebo dose. Arm II will receive placebo intraoperatively followed by 3 postoperative doses of thymoglobulin.
