Organ Transplant Clinical Trials

This is a single-center, open-label study on safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of Gardasil9 in 18 to 45 year-old HIV patients, in 18 to 55 year-old solid-organ transplant (SOT) patients. This study will enrol 140 HIV patients with CD4+ count of >200cells/mm and 170 SOT patients, all of whom have not ...

In this clinical protocol, the CliniMACS CD34 Reagent System will be used for processing hematopoietic progenitor cells collected by apheresis (HPC, Apheresis) from an allogeneic, HLA-haploidentical, related donor to obtain a CD34+ cell-enriched population for hematopoietic reconstitution. The haploidentical donor will be mobilized by G-CSF and undergo one apheresis to ...

This is an observational study designed to evaluate safety and outcomes of solid organ transplantation in HIV+ recipients of HIV+ deceased donors. This study will evaluate overall survival and graft survival compared to transplantation with an HIV- organ. In addition the study will assess potential complications of organ transplant using ...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is an important cause of morbidity in solid organ transplantation recipients and remains the most common opportunistic viral infection in these patients. Standard CMV prevention strategies include universal prophylaxis and pre-emptive therapy with viral load monitoring. However, neither of these strategies has been successful in eliminating CMV ...

Transplantation remains the most successful treatment for end-stage organ failure, but the need to administer life-long immunosuppression (IS) to prevent rejection limits patient survival. Liver transplantation is the only transplantation setting in which a sizeable proportion of patients spontaneously develop "operational tolerance", a phenomenon defined by the maintenance of stable ...

The shortage of cadaveric organ donors for transplantation is a global problem. This fact prolongs the time on the waiting list and, therefore, the mortality, which rise to 21.15% in Argentina compared to a world average of 16%. Many reasons can explain the low procurement rate. It has been stated ...

The purpose of this study is to use tissue from deceased organ donors to address questions that are of importance for the development of regenerative cellular therapies for better understanding of organ physiology and developmental biology. This study aims to maximise the clinically available data as well as patient benefit ...

This is an open label pilot study transplanting thoracic organs from Hepatitis C positive donors into HCV uninfected recipients at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Heart and lung transplant participants will be stratified into two different study arms depending on whether the donor of the thoracic organ was HCV nucleic acid ...

This prospective cohort study enrols consecutive adult deceased organ donors with a waiver of research consent and collects various data related to deceased donor care in the ICU from the time of consent for donation to the time of organ recovery. Clinical data includes donor characteristics, type of donation (after ...

Organ transplantation has become an effective therapy for patients with end-stage organ failure at present. Since the launch of pilot voluntary organ donation after death of citizens in 2010, the voluntary organ donation has become the only legitimate source of organ transplants in 2015, and the transition from relying on ...
