Background: People who have lung transplants often survive 6 or 7 years. But some people develop donor-specific antibodies (DSA) after their transplants; antibodies are proteins that attack foreign invaders in the body. Antibodies typically kill viruses and other agents that can cause disease. But when the antibodies attack a transplanted organ, they can cause the body to reject the new tissues. People who develop DSA after a transplant have a higher risk of death within 1 year. Objective: To test a drug called fostamatinib in people who develop DSA after a lung transplant. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older who developed DSA after a lung transplant. Design: Participants will continue with their standard care after a transplant. Fostamatinib is a pill taken by mouth. Some participants will take the study drug along with their standard care; others will take a placebo. A placebo is a pill that looks just like the real drug but contains no medicine. All participants will take 1 pill per day for 2 weeks. Then they will take 2 pills per day for the next 6 weeks. Participants will have clinic visits every 2 weeks while taking their pills. They will have a physical exam, with blood and urine tests, during each visit. If participants have fluid samples collected from their airways during their standard treatment, some extra fluid may be collected for this study. Participants will have a follow-up visit 4 weeks after they stop taking their pills.

Background: - Cord blood transplants can treat cancers and other diseases in children and adults. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires cord blood to be collected and stored under certain safety standards. However, most available cord blood units were collected before the FDA set these standards. These units may not meet FDA standards, but they do meet similar standards set and followed by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). Cord blood units that do not meet the new FDA standards may be used for transplants only as part of a research study. Doctors want to allow people who need transplants to receive cord blood that meets NMDP standards but may not meet FDA standards. Objectives: - To allow selected cord blood units that do not meet current FDA standards to be used for transplant. Eligibility: - Individuals who need cord blood units for transplant, and who best match cord blood units that are not FDA-licensed. Design: Participants will provide consent to receive cord blood that meets NMDP standards but may not meet FDA standards. Participants will remain on the study for observation for up to 1 year after transplant, or until they withdraw from the study for personal or medical reasons....

This research is being done to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Darzalex Faspro (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) (a monoclonal antibody that targets plasma cells that make antibodies) and whether it can lower donor specific antibodies (DSA) levels to low enough levels to permit patients to proceed with allogeneic peripheral blood transplant (alloBMT). Those being asked to participate have high DSA levels that puts those being asked to participate at high risk of rejecting the available donor's blood stem cells and making those being asked to participate ineligible to receive a stem cell transplant.

Anti-rejection medicines, also known as immunosuppressive drugs, are prescribed to organ transplant recipients to prevent rejection of the new organ. Long-term use of these medicines places transplant recipients at higher risk of serious infections and certain types of cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if: * it is safe to give mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to kidney transplant recipients, and * the combination of the immunosuppressive (anti-rejection) study drugs plus the MSCs can allow a kidney transplant recipient to slowly reduce and/or then completely stop all anti-rejection drugs, without rejection of their kidney (renal) allograft, a process called "immunosuppression withdrawal".

Some kidney transplant candidates have a very low chance of getting a kidney transplant because their immune systems are "highly sensitized" to most kidney donors. Being "highly sensitized" means that they will likely have to wait a long time (more than 5 years) before an acceptable donor is found for them or, they never receive a compatible donor, and die while on the kidney transplant waitlist. The purpose of this study is to find out whether two drugs, carfilzomib (Kyprolis®),and belatacept (Nulojix®), can make these kidney transplant candidates less sensitized, and make it easier and quicker to find a kidney donor for them.

A single-center, randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled trial is proposed to investigate administration of supraphysiologic doses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, AA) to patients undergoing liver transplantation. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive intravenous (IV) AA 1500 mg every 6 hours for 48 hours. Participants randomized to the control group will receive a saline placebo. The primary study outcome will be a change in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score from baseline to three days after the first dose of drug (dSOFA3). Secondary outcomes will include total vasopressor dose in norepinephrine equivalents, 30-day and 1-year mortality, and serum AA levels.

Siltuximab for Rejection

St. Louis, Missouri
Antibody-mediated rejection after lung transplantation commonly results in allograft failure and death in spite of current therapeutic regimens. We are testing the safety and tolerability of the addition of a novel immunosuppressive medication to routine treatment for antibody-mediated rejection. Future studies will be needed to assess efficacy if this study demonstrates safety

This study will use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to study the lungs of 90 volunteers using the inhaled contrast agent, hyperpolarized xenon-129. Once inhaled, this gas can provide information to imagers regarding lung functionality across specific regions of the lungs by assessing the replacement of air during the normal breathing cycle, how much oxygen is in the airspaces, and if the natural spongy tissue structure has been compromised by lung disease. Of the 90 subjects, 70 will be patients who received lung transplantation from the Penn/Temple Lung Transplant Teams and are receiving follow up treatment at HUP or TUH, 10 will be healthy control subjects who participated favorably in our HP 129Xe imaging protocol, and 10 will be patients who have been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-preferentially recruited from the Temple University COPDGene cohort, who have never undergone a lung transplant. 20 of the lung transplant recipient subjects will be patients who have received a recent clinical diagnosis of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) prior to enrollment in our study, while the other 50 will have recently undergone their initial transplant surgery at the time of enrollment.

Open label study to determine tolerability and efficacy of letermovir for CMV prophylaxis in heart and lung transplant recipients. The study hypotheses are: 1. Letermovir prophylaxis will be associated with similar rates of CMV infection as valganciclovir among heart and lung transplant recipients 2. Letermovir will be better tolerated than valganciclovir for CMV prophylaxis in heart and lung transplant recipients, with a higher proportion of days of completed therapy with correct dosing during the planned prophylaxis period 3. Letermovir will have a lower rate of neutropenia than valganciclovir when used for CMV prophylaxis in heart and lung transplant recipients 4. Incorrect renal dosing will occur less frequently with letermovir than with valganciclovir when used for CMV prophylaxis in heart and lung transplant recipients

This is an open-label study, where participants will be switched from their current HIV medication to the study drug, Biktarvy. Open-label means both the investigator and the participant will know what drug will be given. Participants will be followed for 48 weeks in order to monitor the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Biktarvy. The investigator hypothesizes that Biktarvy will be an important addition to the management of HIV-positive post renal transplant patients, especially since it is a one pill daily dosing regimen, thereby decreasing the pill burden in this population.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate which biopsy collection method helps to better diagnose rejection and relevant pathologic findings in lung transplant recipients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the 1.1 mm cryoprobe or the biopsy forceps provide better quality samples of lung tissue for detecting rejection in transplant recipients? How much tissue is adequate for lung transplant 1.1 mm cryobiopsy samples as compared to biopsy forceps? Which samples received by the pathologist did they find they were most confident to exclude rejection, based on their satisfaction with the samples? Which collection method has the least amount of procedural time? Researchers will compare lung tissue samples obtained using a 1.1mm cryoprobe and a biopsy forceps during the lung transplant. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either the cryoprobe or biopsy forceps collection method at the time of biopsy. Assessed for any adverse events following the biopsy for up to 30 days after transplant.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Transplant Reaction clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Transplant Reaction clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Transplant Reaction trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Transplant Reaction is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Transplant Reaction medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Transplant Reaction clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Siltuximab for Rejection, Carfilzomib + Belatacept for Kidney Transplant Rejection and Fostamatinib for Lung Transplant Rejection to the Power online platform.
