Overview

Determine the levels of Donor-derived (dd)cell-free DNA(cfDNA )in liver transplant recipients with normal liver function tests (LFTs) indicating stable immunosuppression status (IS). Based on this range use the dd-cfDNA levels to determine over or under IS in liver transplant patients to make changes to their IS medication regimen.

Description

dd-cfDNA is a non-invasive method to measure graft function stability in liver transplant patients. Liver biopsy is the standard to determine liver rejection and graft function, but no tests exist currently to be able to help guide the IS regimen in these patients. LFTs are not as specific to determine graft function hence testing dd-cfDNA levels can help guide the Immunosuppression (IS )medications dosing and help identify rejection early.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age: ≥18 years
  2. The patient underwent a liver transplant.
  3. The patient at least has one level of dd-cfDNA documented

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient not meeting the inclusion criteria will be excluded.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
