HIV+ Deceased Donor Heart Transplant Study for HIV+ Recipients
This will be a prospective single-center interventional trial to compare the outcomes of HIV-positive heart transplant recipients by the HIV status of the donor; HIV-positive vs. HIV-negative and learn whether heart organ transplantation from HIV+ deceased donors is as safe and effective in HIV+ recipients as transplants from HIV- deceased …
Quantiferon CMV to Identify Treatment Need for Asymptomatic CMV Infection After Solid Organ Transplant (QUANTIFOT)
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 …
Preventive Catheter Ablation for Ventricular arrhythmiaS in Patients With End-sTage Heart faiLure
CASTLE-VT is a randomized evaluation of prophylactic ablative treatment of arrhythmogenic ventricular scar in patients referred for HTx evaluation and diagnosed with ICM. Ablation will be performed with the use of a substrate-based approach in which the myocardial scar is mapped and ablated while the heart remains predominantly in sinus …
Safety and Efficacy of Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccination in Pediatric Heart Transplantation Patients
The study is an interventional, non-randomized assessment of safety and efficacy of live Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine in subjects aged 12-months to 17 years who have undergone heart transplantation. Subjects who provide permission/assent will receive the commercial MMR vaccine according to product indication and labeling.
Mobile Video Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) for Immunosuppression Medication Adherence in Adolescent Heart Transplant Recipients
We will conduct a two-group randomized controlled trial to examine the eMocha DOT intervention with pediatric HT recipients.In this population, medication nonadherence remains a primary cause of late acute rejection (LAR) episodes, increased number of hospitalizations, graft failure, and patient mortality. Herein, we propose an innovative approach to promote medication …
Acute Reno-Cardiac Action of Dapagliflozin In Advanced Heart Failure Patients on Heart Transplant Waiting List
Heart failure affects 1 to 2% of the adult population in developed countries, representing about 55 million people worldwide. Advanced heart failure is a condition where the heart can no longer provide sufficient cardiac output or equilibrate pressures within its chambers, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, …
Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Tafamidis in Patients With Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis Post Orthotopic Heart Transplantation
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a relentlessly progressive disease that can progress to end stage heart failure, at which point recently approved transthyretin production silencing or structure stabilizing therapies provide no clinical benefit. For well-selected individuals, heart transplantation is an excellent therapeutic option to improve survival. Historically, concomitant liver transplantation …
Conduction System Pacing vs Biventricular Pacing in Systolic Dysfunction and Wide QRS: Mortality, Heart Failure Hospitalization or Cardiac Transplant
Conduction system pacing vs biventricular resynchronization therapy in systolic dysfunction and wide QRS: mortality, heart failure hospitalization or cardiac transplant (CONSYST-CRT II trial). Superiority trial that aims to study the composite endpoint consisting of all-cause mortality, cardiac transplant or heart failure hospitalization at 12-month follow-up.
Search for Noninvasive Markers of "Graft Injury" in Pediatric and Adult Patients With Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing Cardiac Transplantation
This clinical tissue-based, drug-free, single-center, longitudinal study aims to validate a new diagnostic method, namely, to evaluate whether plasma levels of circulating donor free DNA in the recipient's blood (Dd-cfDNA: donor-derived cell free DNA), in patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation, can be predictive of the presence of acute myocardial rejection …
Pilot Study: Interest of Belatacept as a Non-nephrotoxic Immunosuppressive Treatment in Cardiac Transplant Patients at Risk of Chronic Renal Failure (BELACOEUR)
Heart transplantation (TC) is the standard treatment for terminal heart failure. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common complication responsible for increased mortality and morbidity. The main risk factors for progression to CKD are advanced age, pre-transplantation CKD, degradation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the first year post-transplantation, and …
