Cell Therapy With Treg Cells Obtained From Thymic Tissue (thyTreg) to Prevent Rejection in Heart Transplant Children
The investigators developed a protocol to isolate Treg cells from thymic tissue (thyTreg) discarded in pediatric cardiac surgeries. After completing the pre-clinical studies, the investigators have initiated a phase I/II clinical trial to test the safety and efficacy of the adoptive transfer of autologous thyTreg to prevent rejection in heart …
Haemoadsorption During Heart Transplantation
To investigate whether the use of haemoadsorption (HA) on cardiopulmonary bypass during heart transplantation (HTX) has an effect on circulating cytokine levels for the first 120 hours after HTX and induces a decreased inflammatory response, increased anti-inflammatory response or immunosuppressive response. Additionally, the influence of HA on primary graft dysfunction, …
Study of Organ Perfusion in Heart Transplantation in Children
The goal of this prospective randomized single blind multicenter phase II study is to compare organ perfusion with Custodiol-N and Custodiol in heart transplantation in children of all ages (birth to <18 years) being listed on the waiting list for heart transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is: …
METABolic Deterioration in HTX Determines Outcomes
METAB-HTX is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study evaluating cardiac and systemic metabolism in heart transplant recipients.
Effect of Resistance Training in Patients on the Waiting List for Heart Transplant
The present longitudinal, randomized, and blinded clinical trial aims to: Evaluate the effects of resistance training on the functional capacity, quality of life, and cardiac biomarkers of hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) on the waiting list for heart transplantation (HTx). Evaluate the associations between Fried's frailty classification and functional …
XVIVO Heart Box (XHB) With Supplemented XVIVO Heart Solution (SXHS) Continued Access Protocol (CAP)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) of extended criteria donor hearts using the XVIVO Heart Preservation System (XHPS) is a safe and effective way to preserve and transport hearts for transplantation.
Hypertonic Saline Solution to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury After Heart Transplantation
The goal of this study is to evaluate if hypertonic saline solution can prevent or attenuate acute kidney injury after heart transplantation in the early postoperative phase.
Pericoronary Adipocyte Size Gradient
Evaluation of pericoronary adipocyte gradient (PCAT) in relationship with local atherosclerotic changes in a patient undergoing heart transplantation.
Multimodal Analysis of Endomyocardial Biopsies
The goal of this observational study is to pursue a multimodal approach to identify the molecular signatures and immune signalling molecules of various myocardial diseases and thereby contribute to improving diagnosis and therapy. The main aim is: -Identification of molecular profiles (e.g., proteome, lipidome, metabolome) and immune signalling profiles that …
Respiratory Strength Training in Heart Transplant Recipients
This research study is investigating whether completing breathing exercises before surgery helps heart transplant patients recover after surgery. Previous studies have shown that breathing exercises can improve breathing, cough, and swallow function in patients with other diseases/conditions. The current study will investigate the impact of a preoperative respiratory muscle strength …
