Clinical Trial Summary

The researchers are trying to develop a way to measure the risk of transplant rejection with a blood test.

Description:

The study will utilize peripheral blood assays collected at time points that are considered standard of care at most institutions. Subjects will have peripheral blood collected at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after heart transplantation, as well as any for cause time points. These samples will then be used for purposes of developing an RNA-seq based peripheral blood assay in adult heart transplant recipients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	RNA-seq based peripheral blood assay in heart transplant recipients	Cases will be reviewed and a subset of the peripheral blood specimens will be sent to Mayo Clinic Laboratories for development of the RNA-seq signature. The number of specimens analyzed will be determined based on the incidence of rejection and the incidence of biopsies for cause needed to develop the signature.	3 years
