Study of blood and biopsy changes in heart transplant rejection
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at changes in blood and heart biopsy samples to help detect or understand transplant rejection. You may benefit by contributing to research that could improve future rejection screening and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a heart transplant
- You are scheduled to get a routine heart biopsy for rejection screening
- You will also have blood work done as part of rejection screening
- You (or your legal decision-maker) can sign consent to join the study

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.
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 small biopsy taken from a donor heart before transplant can predict how well the heart will work after surgery. The goal is to improve transplant success for recipients.
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 checks how special lab tests on heart tissue samples can help guide diagnosis and treatment for people with a heart transplant. You may be eligible if you already need a heart tissue biopsy for a clinical reason and can provide consent.
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.
