First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a simple blood test (Prospera) to the standard heart biopsy for monitoring rejection in heart transplant patients. About 250 adults waiting for or who have received a heart transplant will be randomly assigned to one of two monitoring methods. The goal is to see if the blood test is as effective as the biopsy at detecting rejection and preventing complications.
