This trial tests a specific “induction” treatment to help people who have stronger immune reactions from past sensitizing events during a kidney transplant. It may help improve how well the transplant works and how safely the immune system is managed.
ToursAges 18–79 - NCT05612789Recruiting
Exercise coaching for older patients before and after transplant
This trial studies whether an exercise program (“prehab” before transplant and “rehab” after) can improve outcomes for people age 60+ getting an allogeneic stem cell transplant for blood cancer. It focuses on fitness and recovery, especially for those who are pre-frail or frail.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05501756RecruitingPhase 2
Dose-tuning alemtuzumab for children before a stem cell transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at the best dose of alemtuzumab (a medicine used before transplant) for children undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for a non-cancer illness. It may help doctors fine-tune dosing to improve how the drug behaves in the body and make future transplant care more precise.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT05567289Recruiting
Precision medicine after stem cell transplant
This study looks at a personalized (“precision”) approach for people who have received a stem cell transplant from a donor. It may help doctors better tailor care after transplant, especially for children.
ManchesterAges Any age - NCT05586906Recruiting
Breath test to detect lung transplant problems early
This trial looks at a simple, noninvasive breath test to spot early lung transplant dysfunction after a lung transplant. Because it focuses on testing after the transplant, it may help your care team catch issues earlier.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05597540RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter antibiotics for kidney transplant kidney infections
This study compares giving antibiotics for 7 days versus 14 days to treat acute kidney infections (pyelonephritis) in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see if the shorter course works just as well and is safer or easier to complete.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05175885Recruiting
Kidney transplant test using machine perfusion outside the body
This study tests a special way to keep and treat a donated kidney using a machine before it’s transplanted. The goal is to improve transplant outcomes for certain people on the kidney transplant waiting list.
ZaragozaAges 18 years+ - NCT04870437Recruiting
Light therapy study for kidney transplant rejection immune cells
This study looks at whether extra body light treatment (ECP) can change certain immune cells in people with a specific type of kidney transplant rejection caused by antibodies (cABMR). It’s meant to see if ECP could help manage the immune process after transplant.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04794582Recruiting
Preventing a belly hernia after first kidney transplant
This trial looks at ways to prevent an incisional hernia (a bulge at the surgical scar) after your first kidney transplant. If you’re getting a first transplant, joining could help test treatments or strategies that lower this post-surgery complication.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05084768Recruiting
Test blood markers to predict kidney transplant rejection
This study looks at special blood tests to help predict when kidney transplant rejection might happen. If the markers work, they could help doctors catch rejection earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT05248581Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for unresectable colon cancer spread
This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04782752Recruiting
Radiation before lung transplant to help stop lung cancer spread
This study tests a focused, low-dose type of radiation given before a lung transplant. The goal is to help your immune system recognize and attack cancer cells (called “radiovaccination”) and improve outcomes for people who cannot get curative treatment with surgery or SBRT alone.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04742621Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial studies using a liver transplant to treat colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but not anywhere else. It may help people with limited liver-only spread whose disease hasn’t worsened for a while.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT05319353RecruitingPhase 3
Maribavir for kids with CMV after transplant
This Phase 3 trial tests maribavir (an anti-CMV medicine) in children and teens who get CMV infection after a stem cell or solid organ transplant. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and well-tolerated, and whether it can reduce the virus in the body.
Wilmington, DelawareAges Up to 17 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+ - NCT04926103Recruiting
Fecal transplant program for active ulcerative colitis donors
This trial screens people as potential donors for a fecal microbiota transplant program used for ulcerative colitis. It checks safety and eligibility so the transplant process is as safe as possible for people with active disease.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05106322Recruiting
Using a hand scanner to check fat buildup in liver grafts
This study tests whether an on-site, hand-held scanner during surgery can estimate fat-related liver changes in donated liver tissue. It may help surgeons better assess the quality of liver grafts while the transplant is happening.
VillejuifAges 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+ - 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 - NCT05655273Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Switch tacrolimus timing after liver transplant to Envarsus
This trial looks at whether changing your maintenance anti-rejection medicine from Prograf (usually twice daily) to Envarsus (once daily) can help keep your liver and kidney function stable. It targets people who may be having kidney side effects, symptoms from tacrolimus, or trouble taking a twice-daily medicine.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–99 - NCT04184505RecruitingPhase 3
Testing stem cell transplant in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
This Phase 3 trial tests whether doing an “allogeneic” stem cell transplant works best for people newly diagnosed with higher-risk MDS (a bone marrow disorder). It’s mainly for patients who are healthy enough to receive a transplant and haven’t started MDS treatment yet.
AlessandriaAges 18–70 - NCT04332341RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nicotinamide riboside during bone marrow transplant
