This study is looking at the immune system in people who have received or are waiting for an organ transplant. It will help researchers better understand how to care for transplant patients by taking blood and tissue samples.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Any age - NCT01163578Recruiting
Using test results to improve outcomes after organ or marrow transplant
This study looks at “biomarkers,” which are measurable lab signals, in people who have had an organ or bone marrow transplant. The goal is to use these test results to better predict and improve transplant outcomes.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT01062581Recruiting
Study of organ transplants done at University of Minnesota
This registry study collects information about people who received an organ transplant at the University of Minnesota and about living donors who donated there. It helps researchers learn from transplant experiences to improve care.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT03712722Recruiting
Stool transplant for clostridium difficile infection
This study tests a treatment called fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which puts healthy donor stool into your gut to help fight the bacteria that cause clostridium difficile infection. It may help clear the infection and restore your gut's natural balance.
Aarhus NAges 18–99 - NCT03819803RecruitingPhase 3
Fecal transplant for gut graft-versus-host disease
This study tests whether restoring healthy gut bacteria using a fecal microbiota transplant can improve steroid-refractory gut graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) after stem cell transplant. If your gut symptoms are your first episode and your stool bacteria diversity is low, this trial may be an option worth screening for.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–70 - NCT06948097RecruitingPhase 1
Testing fostamatinib for lung transplant patients with donor-specific antibodies
This trial tests a new medicine called fostamatinib for people who have had a lung transplant and have developed donor-specific antibodies (DSA) on their lung. The goal is to see if this medicine is safe and can help prevent the body from rejecting the new lung.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT07875595Recruiting
Immune markers for predicting problems after liver transplant
This study looks at blood markers of the immune system to see if they can predict complications after a liver transplant. It aims to help doctors personalize care and catch problems early.
Pilar, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07585890Recruiting
Liver Transplant Outcomes With Machine Preservation in Europe
This study collects information about how livers do after transplantation when they've been preserved using machine perfusion—a technique that keeps donor livers in better condition before surgery. Researchers want to understand which preservation methods work best to improve transplant success across Europe.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT03732131Recruiting
Study of stool bacteria transplant to help people with infections
This study looks at fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which is a stool bacteria transplant, to help adults whose symptoms persist or return, often from C. difficile infection. If you’re already planning or receiving FMT for certain conditions, this trial may add information on how it helps and who benefits.
LahtiAges 18–120 - NCT03855722Recruiting
Remote heart protection before organ transplant
This study tests whether a simple treatment performed on the donor before organ removal can help transplanted organs work better. It may help patients receiving organs from eligible brain-dead donors at a specific hospital.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT04477967Recruiting
Creating a liver transplant biobank for children
This trial sets up a long-term collection of medical information and samples from children who have had a liver transplant. It helps doctors study outcomes over time and improve care for future patients.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 1 month–18 years - NCT05015231Recruiting
MRI study after fistula closure in kidney transplant patients
This trial uses special MRI scans to see how blood flow in the transplanted kidney changes after your fistula is surgically closed. It may help doctors better understand what healthy recovery looks like after the procedure.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04595864RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy into the liver before transplant for liver cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy directly into the liver blood supply before a liver transplant can help people with liver cancer that is beyond standard transplant criteria. It may help lower cancer risk around the time of transplant while keeping people healthy enough to receive the transplant.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05185245Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer spread to the liver
This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but cannot be removed by surgery. It also checks whether certain cancer features, treatment history, and blood/health status make transplant safer or more effective.
BolognaAges 18–73 - NCT04499833Recruiting
Test an AI score to guide liver transplant decisions
This study looks at a prediction tool that estimates outcomes for people with liver cancer and cirrhosis, to help decide whether a liver transplant is a good option. It may help doctors choose the right timing and patients who could benefit most from transplantation.
LisbonAges 18–70 - NCT05276037Recruiting
PET/CT scan to guide liver transplant decisions in liver cancer
This trial studies how a whole-body PET/CT scan using a “tracer” called 18F-FDG can help decide which people with liver cancer (HCC) may benefit from a liver transplant. It may help the transplant team better sort out who is likely to do well after transplant.
AntwerpAges 18–80 - NCT04637438Recruiting
Fecal transplant for Crohn’s around the small and large bowel
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a transplant of beneficial gut bacteria from a donor) to help people with Crohn’s disease that is causing narrowing (strictures) and/or abnormal tunnels (fistulas) and who need bowel surgery. You may qualify if you’re an adult, planning ileal/ileocecal surgery, and can complete the colonoscopy while not on certain gut-altering medicines.
TampereAges 18–120 - NCT05763446Recruiting
Predicting heavy blood transfusion during liver transplant
This study looks for factors that can predict when a person might need a very large blood transfusion during a liver transplant. The results may help the transplant team prepare sooner and better manage transfusions during surgery.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT01515605Recruiting
Monitoring gene and molecular changes after kidney transplant
This study checks samples from people after a kidney transplant to better understand how treatment is working at a biological (molecular) level. It may help doctors improve follow-up care and therapy over time.
Odense, DKAges 18 years+ - NCT05793203Recruiting
Tests noninvasive checks to spot liver transplant complications early
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery or taking tissue) can detect complications after a liver transplant. It may help patients and teams find problems earlier using safer, easier monitoring.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT04556214Recruiting
Liver transplant test for certain bile duct cancers
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with a non-removable type of bile duct cancer in the liver. To be eligible, the cancer must be in the liver only (no spread), and you typically must already have had at least 6 months of treatment before being listed for transplant.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05392894RecruitingPhase 3
Transplant using a half-matched donor for severe sickle cell
This trial tests whether a half-matched (haploidentical) blood stem cell transplant can treat adults with severe sickle cell disease. It may help reduce serious complications and improve survival, but it requires a fit health status and specific donor and medical conditions.
