New blood test could predict heart transplant complications before they happen

NCT ID NCT06939751

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is looking for tiny molecules in the blood called microRNAs that can help doctors tell if a heart transplant patient's immune system is too active (causing rejection) or too weak (causing infection). Researchers will follow 250 adult heart transplant recipients for one year, collecting blood samples and tracking health outcomes. The goal is to create a simple blood test that helps doctors adjust anti-rejection medicines more precisely, reducing dangerous side effects.
