This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of genotype-informed Bayesian dosing of tacrolimus in optimising drug exposure among paediatric solid organ transplant recipients. By tailoring tacrolimus dosage based on individual genetic makeup and using Bayesian modeling to predict drug levels, the researchers hope to increase the likelihood of achieving therapeutic …
Synopsis Title of Study A prospective, randomized, single blind multicentre phase III study on organ preservation with Custodiol-N compared with Custodiol solution in organ transplantation (kidney, liver and pancreas) Protocol number: CL-N-KLP-TX-III/07-AT/17 Trial design The study design is a prospective, randomized, single blind, multicentre, phase III comparison study of organ …
Context Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a frequent and potentially severe event in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Most of available treatment display adverse effects that limit their use. Therefore, in case of an infection, it is of primary importance to identify the patients at high risk of severe infection and/or …
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), published Final Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act Safeguards and Research Criteria for Transplantation of Organs Infected With HIV. All such transplants must occur under an institutional review board (IRB) approved …
Background Pregnancy after all types of solid organ transplantation (SOT) is possible, although these have higher risk of pregnancy complications for mother and child, such as preeclampsia and preterm birth. Thus, the development of the unborn child seems to be affected by the transplant and its consequences such as the …
An immunomodulatory protocol, experimentally-proven to promote T-regulatory dependent graft protective mechanisms was applied in a clinical cohort of 13 intestinal transplant recipients to activate - in a protolerogenic environment - T-regulatory cells. This protocol is the standard of care in the investigators intestinal transplant programme since the first intestinal transplant …
Transplantation is one of the most challenging and complex areas of modern medicine. Besides the intrinsic complexity of the surgical and medical procedures, transplantation medicine must take into account a flawless medical management before and after transplant, especially because these patients represent a high-risk group for developing infectious complications that …
Comparison of the diagnostic yield of intra-operative histological analysis of donor tissue with suspected neoplasia performed with the standard method versus the experimental method, which involves optimisation of sample freezing and analysis with the IHC fast track procedure
The success of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in treatment of liver malignancy and endstage liver disease has led to an increase in the gap between patients on waiting-lists and available liver grafts. In order to compensate for this scarcity, use of liver grafts harvested from extended criteria donors (ECD) has …
End-ischemic dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (DHOPE) of human donor livers mitigates ischemia-reperfusion injury, resulting in a reduction of post-reperfusion syndrome, early allograft dysfunction and biliary complications, when compared with static cold storage. End-ischemic DHOPE can be used to prolong donor liver preservation time for up to 24 hours. According …
