Recruiting studies
- NCT06824402Recruiting
Cryoprobe Biopsy for Chronic Rejection in Lung Transplant
This trial tests a new biopsy method called cryoprobe (using a cold probe) to better detect chronic rejection in lung transplant patients. It is for patients who already need a lung biopsy, either for routine monitoring or because of a concern.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–99 - NCT06857331Recruiting
Numbing block for pain after liver transplant
This trial tests a special numbing injection (erector spinae plane block) to help control pain after liver transplant surgery. It may be a good option if you have severe liver disease and need a transplant.
KyivAges Any age - NCT07747337Recruiting
Lung transplant recovery study
This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 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+ - NCT07266467RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing CMV After First Kidney Transplant
This trial tests a new medicine, Leymovir, against a standard one, Valganciclovir, to prevent a common virus infection (CMV) after a first kidney transplant. It may help you avoid CMV-related illness.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06183892Recruiting
Extended-release tacrolimus in stable child liver transplant recipients
This study tests an extended-release version of the anti-rejection drug tacrolimus in children who have already had a stable liver transplant. The goal is to see if the longer-acting capsule works as well as the immediate-release form, potentially simplifying daily medication routines.
ShanghaiAges 6 months–18 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 - NCT07096453RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CMV prevention in kidney transplant patients switching to belatacept
This trial tests whether an experimental drug (CMVIG) can prevent CMV infection in kidney transplant patients who are switching to or already on belatacept, a newer immunosuppressant. It may help protect those at higher risk for CMV.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–70 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06013865RecruitingPhase 4
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+ - NCT06140537RecruitingPhase 4
Dapagliflozin for kidney and heart health after transplant
This study tests whether a diabetes drug called dapagliflozin (Farxiga) can help protect your kidney function and heart health after a kidney transplant. It's for people who have had a transplant for at least a year and have diabetes or post-transplant diabetes.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–80 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06126380Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety of tegoprubart in kidney transplant patients
This is a long-term follow-up study for people who have already completed a study of the drug tegoprubart after a kidney transplant. It checks how safe and effective the drug is over a longer period.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06960993Recruiting
Mosaic trial for stem cell transplant patients

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 - NCT07279350Recruiting

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT04582279Recruiting
Lung ultrasound test to rule out rejection after lung transplant
This study checks whether a painless lung ultrasound can help tell when rejection is unlikely after a lung transplant. If it works, it could reduce the need for other tests in people who feel well.
