BIIR Gene to Manage Heart Allograft Patients

Cardiac Transplant Failure Clinical Trial

Official title: Application of In-House Developed Nanomedicine Technology for Diagnosis and Management of Post-Transplant Heart Allograft Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single center observational study. Duration of the study is 1 year. Participants will be followed in 2 groups. Group 1 will include all patients who have undergone a heart transplant, through the first year post transplant. Group 2 will include heart transplant recipients from 1 year to 2 years post transplant. Groups will be enrolled simultaneously. It is anticipated each group will have 25 participants.

Clinical Trial Description

Application of the BIIR gene expression profile approach to heart transplantation clinical diagnostic issues is likely to create new means to detect rejection at the earliest stages, to help prevent progression through earlier treatment, to discover new avenues targets for treatment of heart graft rejection, and to reduce the cost of post-transplant health care ;
