Immune Monitoring and Assay Development in Organ Transplant Recipients

Studying immune responses in organ transplant patients.

Recruiting
All
Phase N/A

This study involves collecting blood, biopsy tissue, and urine samples from people who have had an organ transplant and those who haven't. The goal is to understand how patients respond to transplant medications and improve treatments. A transplant is when a healthy organ replaces a sick one. Biopsy means taking a small piece of tissue for testing. These samples help researchers see how drugs affect the immune system (the body's defense system). The study also compares transplant patients to healthy volunteers. By learning more, doctors can create better medicines with fewer side effects. Participation won't change your treatment or care. If extra samples are available, they will be saved for future research. Joining the study is the first step in helping doctors find the best medications for each patient.

  • Participants give blood, urine, and tissue samples for testing.
  • The tests are for research only; they don't change your treatment.
  • Both transplant patients and healthy volunteers can join.

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.
