Since 2006, there has been a 50% increase in the number of adults added to the heart transplant waitlist in the US. Yet the persistent organ donor shortage has led to only a 25% increase in the number of transplants, and a 25% increase in the number of patients removed …
The THINKER-NEXT research study is being done to determine whether it is safe to give a kidney transplant from a donor with hepatitis C to a patient without hepatitis C. The recipient will then be given a drug called Epclusa for 12 weeks to treat hepatitis C. Patients who are …
This study compares 2 combinations of drugs to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD): Tacrolimus/methotrexate and Tacrolimus/mycophenolate mofetil/cyclophosphamide. Doctors want to know which combination is better or if they give the same results. The study will help doctors decide which treatment is best for future transplant patients. The purpose of its companion …
The purpose is to investigate whether parametric response mapping measurements in healthy lung allografts can be used for early detection, prognostication, and phenotyping of CLAD. The target population is bilateral lung transplant recipients who are 6 months post-transplant or later and CLAD free at any of the study institutions. At …
Lung transplant recipients have the highest risk of readmission after the index admission among solid organ transplant patients. We hypothesize that targeted, individualized rehabilitation plans will reduce the risk of unplanned readmission in the first year after lung transplantation.To address this hypothesis, we will conduct a prospective cohort study of …
The research study is being conducted to develop a test to predict a common complication after lung transplant called primary graft dysfunction (PGD). Predicting PGD before using donor organs may help reduce deaths and improve outcomes of patients receiving a lung transplant in the future.
The purpose of this study is to study how well patients that receive a kidney from an HIV+ organ donor do over 10 years compared to patients that receive a kidney from an HIV- donor. People 18 years of age and older with end-stage renal disease and HIV, and who …
The purpose of the study is to find out whether an extra dose of COVID-19 study dose of vaccine will help to protect people who have had a liver or kidney transplant from COVID-19 by causing their body to make antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19. Many transplant recipients …
The study compares two acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) prophylaxis regimens: CD24Fc/tacrolimus / methotrexate (CD24Fc/Tac/MTX) versus placebo/tacrolimus / methotrexate (placebo/Tac/MTX) in the setting of myeloablative conditioning (MAC), matched unrelated donor (MUD) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in participants with acute leukemia (AML/ALL) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
The research study is being conducted to determine the effectiveness of using hyperpolarized xenon-129 (HP 129-Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing and predicting the clinical course of patients who received lung transplantation.
