This study tested a new drug called FR104 in 10 people who received a kidney transplant. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and helps prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney. Researchers monitored side effects and kidney function over time.

This study tested a phone-based coaching program to help teenagers who had a liver transplant take their anti-rejection medication regularly. The program used personalized calls to improve adherence, with the goal of reducing organ rejection. A total of 148 teens aged 12 to 20 wh…

This study tested a new medicine called ASKP1240 in 149 people who received a new kidney. The goal was to see if it could prevent the body from rejecting the kidney as well as or better than current standard treatments. Participants received different combinations of drugs, and r…

This Phase 3 trial tested whether adding inhaled liposomal cyclosporine A to standard care helps single lung transplant patients with chronic lung rejection. 62 adults who had a single lung transplant at least a year earlier and had signs of chronic rejection took part. The study…

This study tested whether a once-daily version of the anti-rejection drug tacrolimus (Envarsus) works as well as the standard twice-daily version (Prograf) in heart transplant recipients. Fifty adults who had a heart-only transplant were enrolled. The goal was to see if the easie…

This study tests whether a urine test for a protein called CXCL10 can catch kidney transplant rejection that a standard blood test misses. Researchers will compare the urine test to biopsy results in 50 kidney transplant patients. They will also check if the urine samples can be …

This study tested whether analyzing proteins from kidney biopsy and urine samples can improve the diagnosis of microvascular inflammation, a key sign of antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant recipients. Researchers used mass spectrometry to find protein signatures in 1…

This study tested a new blood test called HEARTBiT that uses 9 RNA markers to detect acute rejection in heart transplant patients. Currently, rejection is found through frequent, invasive heart biopsies. The test was developed using samples from 150 patients and will be evaluated…

This study looked at whether a simple blood test measuring tiny molecules called microRNAs can spot rejection in heart transplant patients. Researchers tested 461 patients and compared the blood test results with standard heart biopsies. If the blood test works well, it could off…

This study aims to find substances in blood or urine that can signal when a transplanted heart is being rejected. By analyzing samples from 188 heart transplant patients and healthy volunteers, researchers hope to develop a simple test for early detection. The goal is to catch re…

This study developed and tested HistoMX, an automated platform that analyzes gene activity in kidney transplant biopsy samples. Researchers used over 2,400 archived biopsies from adult kidney transplant recipients to see if the platform could accurately identify different types o…

This study is testing whether a simple urine test can detect signs of kidney transplant rejection in children. Researchers are looking for specific molecules in urine that signal the body is attacking the new kidney. If the test works, it could help doctors spot problems early wi…

This study is testing two blood tests, AlloSure and AlloMap, to see if they can detect organ rejection in people who have received a combined kidney and pancreas transplant. The goal is to find a less invasive way to monitor for rejection compared to the standard tissue biopsy. T…

This study looked at 172 kidney transplant recipients who were on stable anti-rejection medication for at least 3 months. Researchers measured levels of a common, harmless virus (Torque Teno Virus) in their blood to see if it could predict serious infections or organ rejection. T…

This study looked at whether shared genetic markers (HLA) between a child and a lung donor increase the risk of organ rejection in mothers who had a lung transplant. Researchers collected DNA from children born to 11 transplant women in France between 2012 and 2021. The goal is t…
