Recruiting studies
- NCT06190171Recruiting
Breathing strength training for heart transplant patients
This trial tests whether a special breathing and muscle-strengthening exercise program can help people waiting for a heart transplant. It is designed to improve your respiratory strength and overall conditioning before surgery.

Dinutuximab plus transplant for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests adding a targeted drug called dinutuximab to standard chemotherapy, surgery, and a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay in remission.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT06178744Recruiting
AI in heart transplant ultrasound study
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at echocardiograms (ultrasounds of the heart) from heart transplant patients. It aims to see if AI can help predict rejection or other problems, potentially reducing the need for biopsies.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06140134Recruiting
Liver transplant for bile duct cancer that hasn't spread
This study tests if a liver transplant can help people with a type of bile duct cancer that can't be removed with surgery. You may join if the cancer has stayed stable or shrunk for at least 6 months with treatment.
Newark, New JerseyAges 18–89 - NCT06147076Recruiting
Social support counseling for kidney transplant candidates
This study tests a counseling program that helps kidney transplant candidates and their family or friends work together to improve social support during the transplant process.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05029336RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant using your own cells for autoimmune disease
This Phase 2 study tests an autologous stem cell transplant (a treatment using your own blood-forming stem cells) for severe systemic sclerosis or severe lupus. The goal is to reset the immune system to help control the autoimmune disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–25 - 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 - NCT06125769Recruiting
Liver transplant for hard-to-treat bile duct cancer
This trial studies liver transplantation to treat a specific bile duct cancer (perihilar cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if a transplant can help when standard chemotherapy has kept the cancer stable.
Padova, PADOVAAges 18–70 - NCT06128070RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing GVHD after stem cell transplant for leukemia
This trial tests adding ruxolitinib to standard drugs (tacrolimus and methotrexate) to prevent graft-versus-host disease in children and young adults undergoing a stem cell transplant for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to lower the risk of GVHD and improve transplant outcomes.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 2–22 - NCT04613921Recruiting
Liver transplant study for severe worsening liver failure
This study looks at when liver transplant is offered and what outcomes happen in people with cirrhosis who have severe “acute-on-chronic” worsening. It may help doctors decide which patients benefit most from transplant and improve care after listing or not listing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05866302Recruiting
CT breathing-scan test to detect chronic lung injury after transplant
This study uses a special way to analyze breathing-related CT images to find early or ongoing lung injury after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It may help clinicians recognize chronic lung complications sooner and better guide care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 3 years+ - NCT06093867Recruiting
Tracking lung health after stem cell transplant
This study follows people getting a stem cell transplant to watch for lung problems, like infections or other lung diseases, that can happen after the transplant. The goal is to catch these issues early.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–70 - NCT06089473Recruiting
Home Exercise Program for Frail Kidney Transplant Candidates
This study tests whether a 12-week home exercise program (supervised by video calls) can help people who are frail feel stronger and healthier before a kidney transplant. You'll do exercises at home and connect with a trainer online.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03125642RecruitingPhase 2
Auto stem cell transplant for lymphoma after chemo
This Phase 2 study tests an auto (self) stem cell transplant for people with certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma who respond to chemotherapy (they are “chemo-sensitive”). It may help some patients get a deeper or longer remission by resetting the bone marrow after high-dose treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Up to 75 years - NCT06075745RecruitingPhase 2
CMV Vaccine Study for Liver Transplant Candidates
This trial tests a vaccine to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people awaiting a first liver transplant. You may be eligible if you have never been infected with CMV and are scheduled to receive a liver transplant within the next 1 to 12 months.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04115241Recruiting
Study of activity levels during bone marrow transplant
This study looks at how active people are during a bone marrow transplant. The goal is to better understand activity patterns during transplant care and recovery.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT06059664RecruitingPhase 2
Finerenone for kidney transplant recipients: the EFFEKTOR study
This study tests whether a medicine called finerenone can help protect kidney transplants from further damage. People who have had a kidney transplant and have protein in their urine may benefit from this treatment.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06033196RecruitingPhase 2
Tocilizumab after lung transplant
This study tests whether the drug tocilizumab can help prevent your body from rejecting a new lung after transplant. It might help improve the success of your transplant by reducing immune system activity.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 12–75 - NCT06055608RecruitingPhase 2
Improving kidney transplant outcomes in teens and young adults
This trial tests a new approach to help teenagers and young adults keep their first kidney transplant working well. It looks at how to improve long-term success by carefully managing the immune system around the time of transplant.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 13–20 - NCT06056102RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy to help highly sensitized kidney transplant patients
This trial tests whether a special immune cell treatment (CAR-T cells) can lower the antibodies that make it very hard for you to receive a kidney transplant. If it works, you might become eligible for a transplant sooner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT06032195RecruitingPhase 2
Study of heart preservation in children needing a first transplant
This study looks at how the heart muscle is kept healthy after donation and before transplant in children. It aims to improve transplant success.
BerlinAges 1 day–17 years - NCT06022939RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemo plus stem cell transplant to chemo alone for AL amyloidosis
This study tests whether adding a stem cell transplant to standard chemotherapy (Dara-VCD) works better than chemotherapy alone for people newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis. It aims to find the best way to control the disease and improve outcomes.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06013865RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin for kidney transplant recipients

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transplant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,452 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.
