Follow-up for transplanted arm patients
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study follows people who received a transplanted arm (or both arms) to learn from their ongoing care. You may be asked for small tissue samples (biopsies) and to continue an immunotherapy plan to help protect the transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an arm transplant (one or both arms)
- You are at least 5 years since your transplant
- You can sign consent and agree to follow the study instructions
- You agree to provide tissue samples (biopsies) for storage
- You are a U.S. citizen (or have an approved equivalent status)
- You are willing and able to take the immunotherapy medicines as directed

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests replacing a missing or non-working lower arm/hand with a donated upper limb (transplant). It also uses a special immune treatment plan and bone marrow infusion to help the body accept the new limb, aiming to improve hand function and quality of life.
This study tests whether a donated penis can be successfully transplanted using medicines that calm the immune system to prevent rejection. It also looks at safety and recovery of function in men with severe penile loss from injury, cancer surgery, or birth conditions.
This trial looks at transplanting donor tissue to rebuild parts of the face and one or both hands/forearms after major damage or loss. It aims to see if this approach can restore function and appearance, while carefully managing safety and side effects like the need for long-term immune-suppressing medicines.
This study tests a new bionic arm system that connects to your nerves and muscles. It may help people who have lost an arm below the shoulder and are eligible for special surgeries to improve how a prosthetic arm works.
This trial tests a new approach for rehabilitation after an upper-limb amputation to help improve your ability to intentionally control a prosthetic and regain a sense of position (“proprioception”). You may be considered if you are planning an elective upper-arm or below-elbow amputation and can safely have surgery and follow up closely.
This study checks how people do long-term after stem cell transplant, cellular therapy, or gene therapy. It may help doctors track longer-term health effects and recovery and improve future care.
