New heart transplant strategy aims to swap toxic drugs for safer alternative

NCT ID NCT06478017

Summary

This study is testing if a drug called belatacept can safely replace part of the standard anti-rejection medication regimen for heart transplant patients. The goal is to protect the new heart from rejection while reducing the kidney damage often caused by long-term use of the standard drug, tacrolimus. Researchers will compare the new regimen against standard care in 66 recent heart transplant recipients over 18 months.
