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 …
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 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.
Rebiotix Incs RBX2660 (microbiota suspension) is an intestinal microbial suspension intended to treat recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). RBX2660 is administered via enema and is for rectal use only. Administration of similar products, commonly known as fecal transplants (FT), have documented significant clinical evidence of safe and effective use for …
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the pulse wave velocity and vascular compliance measurements at the beginning and the end of the study while the patient is taking either Envarsus XR® (extended release tacrolimus) tablets administered once-daily after transplantation or immediate release generic tacrolimus capsules that are …
Use of an HIV+ deceased donor could increase the risk of death, transplant-related or HIV-related complications; alternatively with effective antiretroviral treatment and careful HIV+ donor selection, these risks may be comparable to kidney transplant using an HIV-negative donor. We hypothesize that receiving a kidney transplant from an HIV+ donor will …
The purpose of the study is to compare letermovir to valganciclovir in preventing CMV disease in patients who have received a kidney transplant and are considered to be at high-risk for CMV disease after their transplant. The main study intervention is taking letermovir (or placebo for letermovir) plus valanciclovir (or …
This is a multicenter, non-blinded, prospective observational cohort study of 1000 patients enrolled in an AlloSure testing registry, including 300 patients at centers with planned renal surveillance biopsies at 12 months post-transplantation. The other 700 patients will be from centers that do not perform protocol surveillance biopsies. This registry study …
This study is designed to evaluate the effects of Albutein 20% infusion on long-term survival (1-year transplant-free) in liver cirrhosis compared to the Standard Medical Treatment (SMT).
