First seen Nov 03, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests whether a hand transplant from a deceased donor can help people who have lost part or all of one or both hands and forearms regain better function, appearance, and feeling. Up to 100 adults aged 18 to 60 will receive the transplant and be followed with exams, X-rays, and blood tests. The main goal is to see how well the body accepts the new hand, but lifelong anti-rejection medication is needed, so this is a disease control study.
