Recruiting studies
- NCT05581745Recruiting
Testing a lung transplant approach for certain blood type O patients
This study looks at lung transplants for people getting their first transplant who are blood type O and have low levels of antibodies that may react to donor tissue. It may help doctors choose the safest donor-recipient match for these patients.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03779854RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing graft-versus-host disease in kids after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether removing certain immune cells (T cells) from the donor transplant can lower the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (long-term immune attack after transplant) in children and young adults with blood cancers. If you qualify, it may help improve transplant outcomes while tracking safety and side effects.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–26 years - NCT04877288RecruitingPhase 3
Switch some teen kidney transplant patients to belatacept
This Phase 3 study tests whether switching teens from one anti-rejection medicine to belatacept works as well as staying on the current regimen. It also looks at safety and whether patients can stay on their anti-rejection medicines.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 12–17 - NCT07771855RecruitingPhase 2
Antibody treatment for chronic lung disease after stem cell transplant
This study tests a new antibody medicine called tezelumab for patients who develop a breathing problem called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after a stem cell transplant. The trial aims to see if this medicine can reduce flare-ups and improve lung function.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06235892RecruitingPhase 3
Lowering Tacrolimus for Low-Risk Kidney Transplant Patients
This trial tests whether safely lowering the dose of tacrolimus—an anti-rejection drug—can still protect a kidney transplant one year after surgery. It's for first-time transplant recipients with low immune risk.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT06268769RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two tacrolimus drugs in kidney transplant patients
This study compares two long-acting forms of tacrolimus (Envarsus and Advagraf) to see how the body processes them after a kidney transplant. It aims to find the best way to use these medications to prevent organ rejection.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT06262776Recruiting
Shingles vaccine safety study for transplant recipients
This trial tests whether the shingles vaccine (RZV) is safe and works well for organ transplant recipients and their household members. It also includes people on dialysis or certain immunosuppressants.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05432778RecruitingPhase 2
Letermovir to prevent CMV in new heart transplant patients
This Phase 2 trial tests whether the medicine letermovir can prevent a common viral infection (CMV) after a new heart transplant. It may help reduce CMV infection or illness in people who are at moderate to high CMV risk.
LjubljanaAges 18–70 - NCT07024238Enrolling by invitation
Short-chain fatty acid supplement for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether taking a short-chain fatty acid (a type of fiber-like substance) supplement can improve gut health in people who have had a kidney transplant. It may help keep the transplant working well.
Martin, SlovakiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07423247RecruitingPhase 4
Tirzepatide for weight loss in kidney transplant patients
This trial tests if tirzepatide can help people who have had a kidney transplant and are still overweight lose weight. It may be an option if you have had your transplant at least a year ago, your kidney function is stable, and your body mass index is 27 or higher.
TehranAges 18 years+ - NCT06162494Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Shingles vaccine study for young adult transplant recipients
This study tests the shingles vaccine in young adults who have had a solid organ transplant (like a kidney or liver) more than a year ago. The goal is to see if the vaccine works well and is safe for people on stable anti-rejection medicines.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19–40 - NCT07473999Recruiting
Vaccine protection in transplant recipients
This study looks at how well vaccines work in people who have received a bone marrow or solid organ transplant. Researchers will track infections and outcomes to understand vaccine effectiveness.
Pavia, LombardyAges Any age - NCT05041140Recruiting
Xenon MRI test for lung problems after stem cell transplant
This study uses a special MRI test with xenon gas to look at lung function in adults who had a stem cell transplant and now have breathing-related complications. It may help doctors measure lung impairment more clearly and track changes over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05554068RecruitingPhase 2
Testing the shingles vaccine response after bone marrow transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at how well the shingles vaccine works in people who had an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant. It aims to measure the body’s immune response to the vaccine and check that it’s safe in this recovery period.
Maywood, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT05702398RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Vitamin A and niacinamide for high-risk skin cancer
This early trial tests whether adding vitamin A and niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3) can help people with a history of certain skin cancers reduce new disease. It is designed for adults with specific prior skin cancer or skin lesion treatment patterns.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05896839RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy with prednisone and sirolimus for transplant skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to prednisone and sirolimus can control advanced skin cancers in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for transplant recipients.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05955924RecruitingPhase 3
Nicotinamide to prevent skin cancer after organ transplant
This trial tests nicotinamide (a vitamin-like medicine) to help prevent new keratinocyte skin cancers in people who have had a kidney, liver, heart, or lung transplant. It may lower the chance of developing new skin tumors while you continue your usual transplant anti-rejection medicines.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06409819RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Phage therapy for recurrent UTIs in kidney transplant patients
This trial tests a phage (virus that kills bacteria) treatment for women who have had a kidney transplant and keep getting urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli bacteria. It aims to see if this therapy can help prevent future infections.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06494033Recruiting
CMV prevention after lung transplant based on immune status
This trial tests whether using a blood test that measures your immune system's ability to fight CMV (a common virus) can guide when to stop anti-CMV drugs after a lung transplant, aiming to prevent the virus from causing disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT06599658RecruitingPhase 2
COVID-19 booster and flu vaccine timing for people with weak immune systems
This study tests the best timing for a COVID-19 booster and flu shot in people with weakened immune systems, such as organ transplant recipients, people living with HIV, or those with certain autoimmune conditions. It aims to help patients get better protection from both vaccines.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06701825RecruitingPhase 4
Genetic testing before tacrolimus in kidney transplant

- 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.
