MARINER Trial: Multiparametric Cardiac PET for CAV Surveillance After Heart Transplantation
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a common complication affecting heart transplant patients. This condition causes narrowing of the heart arteries leading to graft dysfunction. Surveillance for CAV is vital; however an ideal approach has not been established. The goal of this study is to assess whether noninvasive positron emission tomography …
Allograft Dysfunction in Heart Transplant
The investigators will evaluate for early evidence of cardiac allograft dysfunction by cardiac MRI and single cell sequencing to determine underlying molecular and macroscopic causes.
Levothyroxine Supplementation for Heart Transplant Recipients
This will be a prospective, randomized study performed at a single tertiary referral academic medical center (University of California San Francisco, CA), evaluating the survival benefits of levothyroxine compared with no levothyroxine for patients who have undergone heart transplant. It will be double-blinded and placebo-control; participants will be randomized to …
A Comparative Effectiveness Study in Heart Transplant Patients of Rejection Surveillance With Cell-free DNA Versus Endomyocardial Biopsy
This is an open label Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) study in which patients will be randomized at the site level to Prospera surveillance or EMB surveillance in a 2:1 ratio (Prospera to EMB) at each site. Subjects will be enrolled into the study while under evaluation for heart transplantation or …
Enhancing Heart Allograft Function With the OCS Heart System Trial
This trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the novel OCS Solution and OCS Functional Enhancer (OFE) to support FDA approval in both DBD and DCD heart transplantation. In addition, this trial will evaluate the performance of the novel OCS Solution and OFE compared to Static Cold …
MCNAIR Study: coMparative effeCtiveness of iN-person and teleheAlth cardIac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically recommended program for patients with certain heart conditions. It includes exercise training, health education, and counseling. Unfortunately, many patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Some find it challenging to attend the in-person sessions. This study aims to compare two methods of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: …
Exercise aNd hEArt Transplant
Registry-based randomized clinical trial (RRCT) to assess the safety and efficacy of two different schemes of exercise training in patients who have recently undergone heart transplantation
Belatacept in Heart Transplantation
This is a phase 2, prospective, multi-center, open-label clinical trial. Sixty-six (66) primary heart transplant recipients will be randomized (1:2) to receive either standard-of-care, tacrolimus-based immunosuppression, or a belatacept-based regimen with gradual tacrolimus withdrawal over 9-months post-transplant. Both study arms will receive CellCept® (mycophenolate mofetil- MMF) or Myfortic® (mycophenolate sodium). …
AERIAL Trial: Antiplatelet Therapy in Heart Transplantation
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is a common complication affecting heart transplant patients. This condition causes narrowing of the heart arteries leading to graft dysfunction. The research team is investigating whether early antiplatelet therapy post heart transplant can prevent the development of CAV. This study will determine the feasibility of a large …
Belatacept in De Novo Heart Transplantation
The purpose of this study is to determine if Belatacept is safe to give to adult heart transplant recipients. Belatacept (NULOJIX) is an anti-rejection medication that is available through a prescription from a doctor. In this research study, belatacept is being used in an investigational manner (not for the purpose …
