The Effect of Nebulized Albuterol on Donor Oxygenation
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Albuterol and Saline for Brain Death and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 506 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of albuterol versus placebo with the following specific aims: a) Treatment of brain dead organ donors with albuterol will reduce pulmonary edema, improve donor oxygenation, and increase the number of lungs available for transplantation, b) Developing a blood test to predict the development of primary graft dysfunction in lung transplant recipients, and c) treating brain dead organ donors with albuterol will decrease markers of primary graft dysfunction and lead to improved lung transplant recipient outcomes and to higher rates of lungs suitable for transplantation.
