Blood test may replace painful heart biopsies for transplant patients
NCT ID NCT07531784
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a blood test that measures donor DNA can detect rejection in heart transplant patients. Researchers will compare the test results with standard heart biopsies in 120 adults across Sweden. If the test works well, it could offer a less invasive way to monitor for rejection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
donor-derived cell-free DNA blood test
What this could lead to
If successful, this blood test could replace some invasive heart biopsies, making rejection monitoring safer and easier for transplant patients.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not be accurate enough to replace biopsies, and results may vary between patients.
