Recruiting studies
- NCT07235683RecruitingPhase 4
Stronger CMV treatment for lung transplant recipients
This trial tests adding a drug called letermovir to standard antiviral therapy for lung transplant patients with CMV infection. The goal is to see if the combination helps clear the virus faster and more effectively.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05300451Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Daratumumab to help lower rejection risk before heart transplant
This Phase 2 trial tests daratumumab to reduce your body’s immune reaction (HLA antibodies) before a heart or heart-and-kidney transplant. It may help lower the risk of immediate, severe rejection in people who already have high antibody levels.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT06833463Recruiting
Tacrolimus and diabetes risk in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at how the anti-rejection drug tacrolimus (specifically Envarsus) affects blood sugar and risk of diabetes in kidney transplant patients. It aims to find out which patients might be more likely to develop glucose problems so doctors can adjust treatment early.
GdanskAges 18 years+ - NCT06962410Recruiting
Hybrid Closed-Loop for Diabetes After Kidney Transplant
This trial tests a hybrid closed-loop system (an advanced insulin pump that automatically adjusts insulin) for people with diabetes who have had a kidney transplant. It may help improve blood sugar control and reduce the burden of managing diabetes after transplant.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18–70 - NCT04804891RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized immune medicine plan after intestinal transplant
This Phase 1 study tests a way to lower (minimize) the immune-suppressing medicines after an intestinal transplant while still keeping the new organ safe. It uses blood tests that look at immune activity and “chimerism” to guide how strong the immune suppression needs to be.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT06048445Recruiting
Preventing bile duct issues after children's liver transplant
This trial tests placing a temporary drainage stent during liver transplant surgery in children to see if it helps prevent bile duct complications. It might improve recovery for young transplant recipients.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 1–6 - NCT06288425Enrolling by invitation
Gene activity study in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at gene activity inside kidney tissue to better understand how transplanted kidneys work. Researchers will collect blood, urine, stool, and tiny pieces of kidney tissue over time to see what happens after a transplant.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT07247877Enrolling by invitation
Study of small liver grafts for portal hypertension treatment
This trial explores using smaller liver grafts in a partial transplant to treat portal hypertension, which may help patients avoid full transplant risks. It compares this approach to standard liver transplant.
Ages 14 years+ - NCT07029958RecruitingPhase 4
Transplant protocol for EBV-related T/NK lymphoproliferative disease
This trial tests a stronger transplant conditioning regimen to treat a rare immune disorder caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It aims to improve outcomes and reduce a complication called graft-versus-host disease, where donor cells attack the patient's body.
BeijingAges birth–18 years - 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+ - NCT06590285Recruiting
Better ways to manage bone marrow transplant care
This study tests a smartphone app to help patients and doctors manage care during a bone marrow transplant. If you are planning a transplant, the app may give you clear guidance and education.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07747194Enrolling by invitation
Acupuncture to prevent nausea and vomiting after stem cell transplant
This study tests whether acupuncture can reduce nausea and vomiting that often occur after a stem cell transplant. If you are scheduled for a transplant, this treatment might help you feel better during recovery.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–65 - NCT06994429Enrolling by invitation
New MRI to check liver function after transplant
This study uses a new MRI technique to check how well your new liver is working after transplant, without any needles or biopsy. If you have had a liver transplant and are scheduled for an MRI, you may be able to join.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07607873Recruiting
Transplant vs surgery after chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial compares liver transplant versus liver surgery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed initially. You would first receive chemotherapy to shrink the tumors, and if they become removable, you may be randomly assigned to have a liver transplant or standard liver surgery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07689578RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a new immunotherapy for chronic kidney transplant rejection
This study tests a new treatment called BiTE (a type of immunotherapy that helps your immune cells attack harmful antibodies) for people whose transplanted kidney is being damaged by chronic active antibody-mediated rejection. The goal is to see if it can safely slow or stop this damage.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 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+ - NCT05521399Recruiting
Heart transplant patients get a heart MRI check
This study renews research using heart MRI scans to learn more about heart transplant patients and compare them with healthy control scans. It may help researchers understand heart function after transplant and improve future imaging care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT07622849Enrolling by invitation
Fecal Microbiota Transplant for Transplant-Related Intestinal Damage
This trial tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor to patients can help heal severe intestinal damage that occurs after bone marrow or stem cell transplants. The goal is to reduce pain, inflammation, and other complications from this serious side effect.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 15–65 - NCT06716541Recruiting
Biodegradable stent for bile duct narrowing after liver transplant
This study is testing a special temporary stent that breaks down over time to help open a narrowed bile duct after a liver transplant. It may help avoid long-term plastic stents or additional surgery.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06899867Recruiting
Comparing heart monitoring methods during liver transplant
This trial compares two ways to monitor how well your heart is pumping during liver transplant surgery. One method uses a thin tube in your blood vessels, and the other uses an ultrasound probe placed in your food pipe.
France, LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06830538Recruiting
Recovery and quality of life after corneal transplant
This study looks at how well people recover after a corneal transplant, including their vision, eye health, and overall quality of life. It aims to learn what helps people heal best after surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transplant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,500 recruiting transplant 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 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 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.
