New blood test could spot transplant rejection before it's too late
NCT ID NCT02423070
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study is testing a simple blood test that looks for tiny pieces of DNA from the donated organ in the patient's blood. Higher levels of this donor DNA may signal early rejection, allowing doctors to treat it before damage becomes permanent. The study involves nearly 1,000 heart or lung transplant recipients aged 14 and older. Researchers hope this non-invasive test will improve long-term survival and quality of life after transplant.
