It may help by lowering how much intensive treatment is needed before the transplant, while still helping the donor cells grow.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 2 years+ - 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 - NCT04748770Recruiting
Kidney Transplant Access for Obese Dialysis Patients
This study looks at whether obese patients who are starting dialysis can safely receive kidney transplants. Researchers want to understand how weight affects transplant success and access to this life-changing treatment.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04770012RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin or clopidogrel after heart transplant
This study tests antiplatelet medicines (like aspirin or clopidogrel) in people who have had a heart transplant. The goal is to see if these medicines can safely help prevent blood-related complications after transplant.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04571203RecruitingPhase 1
Kidney transplant plus blood-cell treatment to help the graft settle
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan (including rabbit medicine and a low dose of radiation) meant to help the new kidney “take” and work longer. It also includes a kidney-from-deceased-donor process and checks how safely the treatment works in people with end-stage kidney disease.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - 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.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04503213Enrolling by invitation
Testing CSF1R brain disease after stem cell transplant
This study looks at how CSF1R-related leukoencephalopathy (a genetic brain condition) behaves after a stem cell transplant. It may help doctors understand expected brain and walking changes after treatment.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04493385Recruiting
Heart transplant after a hepatitis C–positive donor
This trial follows people who receive a heart from a donor whose blood tested positive for hepatitis C. It also includes people getting a heart transplant again, and it aims to learn about outcomes and safety for these specific transplant situations.
Dallas, TexasAges 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+ - NCT04452305Recruiting
Frozen testicle tissue transplant to restore fertility
This study tests using previously frozen (cryopreserved) testicle cells or tissue to regrow testicular tissue. If you’ve had cancer treatment that can harm fertility, this may help restore natural fertility potential using your own tissue.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04483206RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized (tailored) autologous stem cell transplant for people with multiple myeloma or related plasma cell diseases. The goal is to see how safe it is and how well it works, using your own stem cells.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04378023Recruiting
Liver transplant plus chemo-radiation for bile duct cancer
This study tests giving chemo and radiation before a liver transplant for an unresectable bile duct cancer near the liver (hCCA). If your cancer can’t be removed with surgery right now, this approach aims to shrink and control it so transplant may become an option.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–70 - NCT04180085RecruitingPhase 2
Belatacept to protect kidneys in heart transplant patients
This trial studies whether belatacept can be used after a heart transplant to help protect kidney function over time. It focuses on people who already have (or are at risk for) worsening kidney function after transplant, while avoiding those with certain infections or rejection concerns.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT04339764RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
iPS cell eye transplant for dry macular degeneration
This early-phase study tests whether transplanting lab-made retinal cells from your own body can slow vision loss from geographic atrophy caused by dry age-related macular degeneration. It involves eye surgery and frequent follow-up to check safety and early signs of benefit.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 55–95 - NCT04332341RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nicotinamide riboside during bone marrow transplant
This trial studies whether a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a vitamin-like product) can be given safely during allogeneic bone marrow transplant. It may help researchers understand how well it works and how it affects recovery for people getting a donor transplant.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04370301RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced-intensity stem cell transplant with JAK inhibitor for myelofibrosis
This study tests giving a JAK inhibitor before and after a reduced-intensity stem cell transplant to treat primary or secondary myelofibrosis. The goal is to improve disease control while using a less harsh transplant approach.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–70 - NCT04375631RecruitingPhase 1
Study of chemo plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a specific chemotherapy plan followed by a reduced-intensity donor stem cell transplant for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML), certain myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help by using donor stem cells to rebuild the bone marrow after intensive cancer treatment, in people who are not responding well to standard therapies.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT04230356RecruitingPhase 2
Viral immune T-cells for viral infections after stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 study tests donor-made immune T-cells that specifically target viruses to treat or prevent viral infections after a stem cell transplant. It may help your body control dangerous viruses like adenovirus, CMV, EBV, and BK virus, while checking safety with different timing of the treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT04195633RecruitingPhase 2
Haploidentical donor stem cell transplant to treat blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a specific stem cell transplant method (from a related “half-matched” donor) plus conditioning chemo and radiation can improve outcomes for several blood cancers. It may help people whose cancer is in remission but still considered high risk, or those who have had limited response after prior treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 6 months+ - NCT04237623RecruitingPhase 2
GM-CSF after transplant using a matched related donor
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a medicine called GM-CSF after an allogeneic transplant (using a matched related donor) can improve outcomes. Participants must meet health and donor-matching requirements and be eligible to safely receive the treatment and consent to the study.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–78 - NCT04146870Recruiting
