HEART TRANSPLANTATION

This study tests whether belatacept, an anti-rejection drug, is safe for adults who have received a new heart. Researchers will monitor 12 participants for serious side effects like organ rejection, infections, or graft failure. The goal is to find a safer way to prevent the body…

This study compares two solutions used to preserve donor hearts before transplant in children (birth to under 18). The new solution, Custodiol-N, is tested against the standard Custodiol to see if it is safe. Fifteen children awaiting their first heart transplant will take part. …

This study is looking at whether a blood test that measures donor DNA can help detect rejection in heart transplant patients. Researchers will collect blood samples from 120 adult heart transplant recipients in Sweden and compare the results with standard heart biopsies. The goal…

This study follows 270 heart transplant patients over time to understand how the surgery affects the heart's and body's metabolism. Researchers will track heart function, rejection risk, kidney health, infections, and metabolic changes like blood sugar and fat levels. The goal is…

This study looks at fat cells around the heart arteries in 60 patients getting a heart transplant. Researchers want to see if the size of these fat cells is linked to heart disease. No treatment is given; the goal is to learn more about how fat tissue affects heart health.

This study will follow 10,000 people with heart conditions (like heart failure, heart attack, or bypass surgery) who are going through cardiac rehab at a clinic in Davos, Switzerland. Researchers will collect health data, blood samples, and patient reports to learn what helps peo…

This study looks at heart tissue samples from 216 adults who already need a biopsy as part of their care. Researchers want to find unique molecular patterns for different heart conditions, like cardiomyopathy and heart transplant recovery. The goal is to improve how doctors diagn…

This study looks at how small blood vessels react in people who have had a heart transplant. Researchers will use a non-invasive laser device on the skin to measure blood flow. The goal is to better understand heart and blood vessel health after transplant. About 31 participants …

This study looks at the long-term health of children (16 and older) whose mothers had a solid organ transplant before pregnancy. Researchers want to see if these children have higher risks for heart or kidney problems, possibly due to the mother's anti-rejection medications. Abou…

This study will use special MRI scans taken during exercise to learn how the heart and skeletal muscles work together in children with heart disease or who have had a heart transplant. Researchers want to understand why these children often have trouble being active. The study in…
