Immune monitoring in organ transplant recipients
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an organ transplant recipient, on the waitlist for an organ transplant, or an organ donor.
- You are being seen at Emory University or Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (or willing to come there).
- You can understand the study and sign a consent form (or give your permission as a parent/guardian for a child).
- You are not a healthy volunteer who takes no immune-suppressing medicine.
- You do not have a condition (like severe anemia or a bleeding disorder) that makes giving blood or tissue samples unsafe.

This study sets up a biobank, which means it collects and stores health samples/data for future research on organ transplantation. You may be able to help researchers better understand transplant outcomes, as long as you meet the study’s eligibility rules.
This study looks at how respiratory viruses behave and how the body responds in children who are about to receive, or have recently received, a transplant. It may help doctors better diagnose and treat viral infections in transplant patients by studying blood samples and test results.
This trial follows people who have had a recent organ or stem cell transplant to learn more about infections and how they can be prevented. You may be asked to provide samples and information over time.
This study is following people who have had a liver, kidney, heart, or lung transplant. It will look for markers in your blood that might help predict how you do in the short and long term after transplant.
This study follows pregnant women who have had an organ transplant (heart, liver, lung, pancreas, or kidney) to monitor their health and the health of their baby. It aims to learn more about managing pregnancy in transplant recipients.
This study follows people who are getting a liver transplant (including repeat transplants) to monitor changes in their body using test results. It may help doctors understand how patients are doing after transplant and improve care over time.
