Staged heart and kidney transplant study
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing a combined heart and kidney transplant. It looks at doing the surgeries in separate stages instead of all at once, to see if that is safer or works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having both a heart and a kidney transplant at the same time.
- Your surgery will be done at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
- You are not having the heart and kidney put in together in one operation (they will be done in two separate stages).
- Your medical records are not marked as 'break-the-glass' or 'research opt-out'.

This trial tests a special machine that preserves donor hearts for longer periods before transplant. It may help people waiting for a heart transplant who need a heart from a donor that may be older or has some heart risks.
This study follows people with severe (end-stage) heart failure who are evaluated for and receive a heart transplant. It helps doctors understand what outcomes to expect after transplant, which can guide future care.
This study looks at how the heart’s structure changes (“remodeling”) in people with heart failure who are being considered for a heart transplant. It may help doctors better understand what is happening in the failing heart and how to treat it.
This study tests a special machine that helps preserve and evaluate donor hearts before transplant. If you're waiting for a heart transplant, this trial may help doctors find the best donor hearts and improve transplant outcomes.
This study tests a combined approach for kidney transplant patients: standard living-donor kidney transplant plus an added “stem cell” component taken from the same sibling donor. It aims to improve transplant outcomes by trying to better control the immune response and reduce complications.
This study checks if pumping a special fluid through donor kidneys (machine perfusion) helps predict how well the kidney will work after transplant. It's for people getting a kidney from an older donor or one with some health issues.
