Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 22 years - 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+ - NCT05426200Recruiting
Health coaching program for people waiting for lung transplant
This study tests whether personalized health coaching can improve how you feel and report your symptoms and wellbeing while you’re waiting for a lung transplant. It may help you better manage your health before transplant.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05325008RecruitingPhase 3
IVIG treatment for BK virus after kidney transplant
This Phase 3 trial tests IVIG (an antibody medicine given through a vein) to treat BK virus infection after kidney or pancreas-kidney transplant. It may help lower the BK virus in the blood and protect the transplanted kidney.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 2 years+ - NCT05027945RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant for people with VEXAS syndrome
This Phase 2 trial tests whether an allogeneic stem cell transplant (from a donor) can treat VEXAS syndrome. It may help calm the body’s overactive inflammation and improve symptoms in eligible adults.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT04935684RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant after bone marrow transplant to improve gut health
This Phase 2 study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a processed transplant of gut bacteria) after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant is safe and helpful. Participants may benefit by improving recovery in the gut microbiome during the post-transplant period.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04783155Recruiting
Breathing training after lung transplant at Mayo Clinic
This trial studies whether inspiratory muscle training (exercises to strengthen the breathing muscles) improves recovery and other health outcomes after a single- or double-lung transplant. It may help see if adding breathing exercises makes day-to-day function better and supports clinical recovery.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04623424Recruiting
Study gut bacteria during stem cell transplant
This study looks at changes in your gut bacteria (microbiome) around the time of stem cell transplant. The goal is to understand how these bacteria relate to transplant outcomes, which may help doctors improve care in the future.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT04626167RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a bladder transplant done with a kidney transplant
This early-phase study is testing a combined bladder and kidney transplant approach for people whose bladder problems damage the kidneys. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve bladder and kidney outcomes and be done safely.
