Recruiting studies
- NCT06625073RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2i for heart transplant recipients
This trial is testing a medication called SGLT2i (a type of diabetes drug that also helps the heart and kidneys) in people who have received a heart transplant. It aims to see if this drug can improve health after transplant.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06406179Recruiting

Empagliflozin for kidney transplant recipients
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a diabetes medicine that also protects the kidneys, can help people who have received a kidney transplant. It may be an option if you have reduced kidney function or diabetes after transplant.
Hines, IllinoisAges 19 years+ - NCT05953948Enrolling by invitation
Smartphone case management program for liver transplant patients
This trial studies whether an “intelligent” phone-based case management program can help people after a liver transplant. You may be able to participate if you’re a liver transplant recipient and can use a smartphone, but not if you have liver-related confusion.
Taoyuan, TYAges 20 years+ - NCT05708755RecruitingPhase 2
Monitoring immune response to CMV after lung transplant
This Phase 2 study monitors how your immune system reacts to CMV (a common virus) after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand which patients are better protected and could guide future treatments to reduce CMV-related complications.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT05655273Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Switch tacrolimus timing after liver transplant to Envarsus
This trial looks at whether changing your maintenance anti-rejection medicine from Prograf (usually twice daily) to Envarsus (once daily) can help keep your liver and kidney function stable. It targets people who may be having kidney side effects, symptoms from tacrolimus, or trouble taking a twice-daily medicine.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–99 - NCT05612789Recruiting
Exercise coaching for older patients before and after transplant
This trial studies whether an exercise program (“prehab” before transplant and “rehab” after) can improve outcomes for people age 60+ getting an allogeneic stem cell transplant for blood cancer. It focuses on fitness and recovery, especially for those who are pre-frail or frail.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT04783441Recruiting
Continuous glucose sensor study after kidney transplant
This study checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that tracks sugar throughout the day) is helpful and practical for people with a recent kidney transplant and type 2 diabetes on insulin. You may need to wear the sensor continuously and still do finger-stick glucose checks for safety.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04469842RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Long-acting tacrolimus after lung transplant
This early-stage study tests a long-acting form of tacrolimus (a common anti-rejection medicine) soon after lung transplant. It aims to see if it can be used safely and effectively for people receiving lung transplants at Vanderbilt (VUMC).
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03886961Recruiting
Reflux band device trial for lung transplant recipients
This trial tests whether a Reflux Band™ placed around the upper swallowing tube area can reduce reflux (stomach acid coming up) in people who have had a lung transplant. If reflux is causing discomfort or lung irritation, reducing it may help you stay stable after transplant.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT03292861Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Thymoglobulin after first heart transplant: safety and effect
This trial tests whether Thymoglobulin® is safe and how well it works in people getting their first heart transplant. It may help doctors fine-tune medicines used to prevent the body from rejecting the new heart.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT01644903Recruiting
Checking biomarkers after a liver transplant
This study follows people who are getting a liver transplant (including repeat transplants) to monitor changes in their body using test results. It may help doctors understand how patients are doing after transplant and improve care over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06795958Recruiting
Detecting heart rejection without a biopsy in children
This trial tests if a special MRI can detect early signs of heart rejection in children and young adults who have had a heart transplant. If successful, it might reduce the need for invasive biopsies.
BolognaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05968807Recruiting
WhatsApp support for parents after a child’s organ transplant
This program pairs parents together using WhatsApp—experienced parents (mentors) and newer parents (mentees). It aims to help parents cope and adjust after a child’s solid organ transplant.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–75 - NCT06640179Recruiting
Lifestyle program for kidney transplant recipients
This study tests a diet and exercise program for people who recently received a kidney transplant. It aims to see if the program is safe and helpful for improving health after transplant.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03769298RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study for tremors after pancreas-kidney transplant
This trial tests a treatment approach for people who develop tremors after a combined pancreas and kidney transplant. It aims to improve tremor symptoms while keeping transplant organs functioning steadily.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–70 - NCT06960993Recruiting
Mosaic trial for stem cell transplant patients
This trial tests a website designed to help patients learn about stem cell transplants for blood cancers. It aims to support you during your transplant journey.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05973734Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Islet transplant with immune cells to treat type 1 diabetes
This Phase 1 study tests a new immune-system strategy around islet transplantation (or donor bone marrow therapy) to improve control of type 1 diabetes and reduce dangerous low blood sugar. It mainly aims to see if the approach is safe and helpful in people with long-standing, difficult-to-manage diabetes.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05947071RecruitingPhase 2
Higher-dose flu vaccine versus standard dose in child transplant patients
This trial compares a higher-dose flu vaccine to the standard dose in children who recently received a kidney, heart, and/or liver transplant. It aims to see which dose better protects children against influenza while checking for safety.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 3–17 - NCT05793203Recruiting
Tests noninvasive checks to spot liver transplant complications early
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery or taking tissue) can detect complications after a liver transplant. It may help patients and teams find problems earlier using safer, easier monitoring.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT07434869Recruiting
Blood and image markers for ECP response in lung transplant CLAD
This study looks at whether blood tests and MRI scans can predict how well ECP (a blood-filtering treatment) works for people with CLAD after a lung transplant. If you’ve been prescribed ECP for CLAD and haven’t had it before, you may be able to help researchers find better ways to tailor treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 7 years+ - NCT07415421Recruiting
Parathyroid surgery after kidney transplant
This trial looks at whether removing overactive parathyroid glands (parathyroidectomy) can help people who still have high calcium or low phosphate levels more than 6 months after a kidney transplant. If you have stable kidney function and meet certain blood test results, you may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transplant recipient?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 170 recruiting transplant recipient studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a transplant recipient trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a transplant recipient trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
