Kidney transplant biopsy study using blood test clues
This study looks at kidney transplant patients who are getting a kidney biopsy for usual clinical reasons. It tests whether special blood test results (from a sample taken as part of the study) can help spot transplant kidney problems earlier or more accurately.
Tampa, FloridaAges Any age - NCT04257747Recruiting
3T MRI study of hand and forearm blood flow
This study uses a powerful MRI scanner (3 Tesla) to measure blood flow in the arteries of the hand and forearm under normal and certain medical conditions. You may qualify if you’re an adult and can safely have an MRI, either as a healthy volunteer or someone needing specific hand/arm surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04627428RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem-cell–made eye tissue transplant for dry macular degeneration
This early-stage study tests whether a stem-cell–derived transplant to the back of the eye is safe and tolerable in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If you qualify, you may receive the transplant and have close follow-up to watch for side effects.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT01189786Recruiting
Stem cell transplant add-on that removes some immune cells
This trial tests a lab-made cell treatment added around an allogeneic stem cell transplant (donor transplant). It tries to improve transplant safety and outcomes by removing certain immune cells from the donor stem cells.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 70 years - NCT02161783Recruiting
Second transplant for blood stem cell graft failure
This trial studies treatment after a first stem cell transplant fails to produce lasting blood recovery. It may help people who need a second transplant because their counts never fully recovered or then dropped again.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT02503228Enrolling by invitation
Registry study of a preserved bone-cartilage graft
This registry study follows people who get a preserved graft to repair damaged bone and cartilage in a joint. It helps doctors understand how well the graft is preserved and how patients do after surgery over time.
Columbia, MissouriAges 13 years+ - NCT06415643Recruiting
Lab-grown islet cells for diabetes after pancreas surgery
This trial tests whether lab-grown islet cells (pancreatic organoids) can help control blood sugar in people who develop diabetes after having most or all of their pancreas removed. If successful, this could reduce the need for insulin shots.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT06422273Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
TXA vs Saline to Prevent Bleeding After Lung Transplant Biopsy
This trial tests whether a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) can help prevent bleeding after a lung transplant biopsy. It compares TXA to a saltwater solution (saline) to see if it reduces the need for procedures to stop bleeding.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07693881Recruiting
Preventing EBV reactivation with rituximab after stem cell transplant in children
This trial tests whether adding a drug called rituximab to the standard transplant plan can help prevent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) from reactivating in children receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. It may help reduce a common viral complication after transplant.
GuangzhouAges Up to 18 years - NCT03441165Recruiting
Measure knee looseness during ACL and meniscus surgery
This trial checks how loose the knee feels during surgery for ACL reconstruction, ACL revision, or meniscus transplantation. The goal is to better assess knee stability during the operation, which may help surgeons choose the best repair.
Bologna, ItaliaAges 14–65 - NCT06743464Recruiting
Rifaximin before liver transplant for better early liver function
