Study of a blood test after heart transplant
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study checks whether a special blood test can help detect heart transplant rejection or problems by comparing it to biopsy results. It may help your care team monitor your transplant with less guesswork.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a heart transplant
- You are scheduled for a heart biopsy for medical reasons or routine monitoring
- A doctor or surgeon is planning the biopsy and you agree to join
- You can understand the study and give informed consent
- You will not join if you decline participation
- You have a single-organ heart transplant (not multiple organs)

This Swedish study tests whether a simple blood test can detect early signs that your body is rejecting a transplanted heart. The test looks for DNA fragments in your blood that may signal rejection before symptoms appear, potentially helping doctors catch problems sooner.
This study tests whether a heart MRI can detect early signs of organ rejection after a heart transplant. If successful, it could reduce the need for frequent biopsies.
This study looks at kidney transplant patients who are getting a kidney biopsy for usual clinical reasons. It tests whether special blood test results (from a sample taken as part of the study) can help spot transplant kidney problems earlier or more accurately.
This study uses advanced heart imaging and blood tests to detect a type of rejection that can happen after a heart transplant. It may help doctors diagnose antibody-mediated rejection earlier and more accurately.
This study tests a new way to monitor heart transplant patients for rejection using blood tests and other non-invasive tools, which might reduce the need for invasive biopsies. If you've had a recent heart transplant and are stable, this study could help improve post-transplant care.
This trial tests a blood test that may help monitor kidney transplant health by detecting signs of rejection earlier. It aims to see if using this blood test can lead to better long-term outcomes for transplant recipients.
