This study is testing whether a new investigational medicine called frexalimab can safely and effectively prevent kidney transplant rejection compared to tacrolimus, a standard medication currently used after transplant. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either frexalimab (given by injection every 4 weeks) or tacrolimus (taken as capsules…
The main goal of this clinical trial is to determine if an investigational medication called VEL101 is safe, well tolerated, and effective in people receiving a new kidney transplant. Participants will be randomly assigned to 2 different doses of VEL-101 or to tacrolimus, which is standardly used post-transplant to prevent rejection. Participants will be…
This research is being done to better understand rejection in transplant recipients with HIV who receive kidneys from donors with HIV compared to donors without HIV. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant Clinical Research Center (TCRC).
A complication that can occur after liver transplant (LT) is rejection, in which the patient's immune system damages the transplanted liver. This complication can be prevented with immunosuppressant medications, which are routinely used after LT. The main purpose of this study is to determine if bacteria in the intestine (gut microbiome) may affect the body…
The purpose of this observational research study is to identify things that contribute to outcomes in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease who are being considered for liver transplant and who have less than 6 months of sobriety. We will look at many things including images of the liver and heart, blood tests, urine tests, stool tests and liver…
The main purpose of this study is to deeply characterize cognitive function in liver transplant recipients, differentiate among different causes of cognitive impairment, and identify contributors to cognitive impairment. Participants will receive a comprehensive neurological exam, cognitive assessment, neuropsychological testing, MRI of the brain, and blood…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of siplizumab when used as induction immunosuppression in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis or autoimmune hepatitis undergoing liver transplantation. Induction immunosuppression drugs are very potent anti-rejection drugs that are given immediately after transplantation to prevent rejection.…
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of functional status (also known as "frailty") using a physical test in patients with liver disease on their health outcomes. We are enrolling patients prior to liver transplantation, and will continue to assess their functional status post transplant. If you have any questions regarding this…
The primary objective is to determine whether using hearts from HIV+ donors for HIV+ recipients is safe with regard to major transplant-related and HIV-related complications. The primary outcome is patient survival at one year. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant Clinical Research Center (…

The primary outcome is patient survival at one year. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant Clinical Research Center (…
The purpose of this study is to study the safety and feasibility of giving intestinal transplant patients CD34+ stem cells (the cells that make all the types of blood cells) obtained from their organ donor's bone marrow as an IV infusion post-transplant. Researchers will be looking to see whether this CD34+ cell infusion might help control rejection of the…
The purpose of this sponsor initiated multi center registry is to collect additional data on the performance of the FDA Approved OCS Liver System and post transplant clinical outcomes for patients who are transplanted with an OCS Liver perfused donor liver in the real world setting. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the…
The primary objective is to evaluate long-term outcomes in transplant recipients with HIV who receive livers from donors with HIV compared to donors without HIV. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant Clinical Research Center (TCRC).

This purpose of this study is to understand the interaction between two different medications, tacrolimus and Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir), in patients who have had a kidney transplant and are being treated by their doctor for COVID-19 infection. Tacrolimus is an oral medication that is used standardly in kidney transplant recipients to prevent…
In this study, we will collect information from the medical record of pediatric liver transplant recipients who received live vaccines as part of their routine post-transplant care. This data will be combined with data from other centers across the United States and Canada to help give us a better understanding of the safety and efficacy of live vaccines in…
The purpose of the study is to collect scientific data on pediatric liver transplantation to learn more about how children do after liver transplant. Collecting these data is expected to help researchers learn more about liver transplant in children. This information may improve medical care of your child and other children who need and who have received…
Kidney transplant extends life, improves quality of life, and reduces healthcare costs. Unfortunately, there are not enough donated kidneys, so many people who need a transplant spend years on the waiting list. Kidneys from organ donors who have hepatitis C virus (HCV) are often thrown away, but these kidneys work well, and hepatitis C can be cured. The…
The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug called tegoprubart (also known as AT1501) is safe and effective in preventing rejection in patients who are undergoing a kidney transplant for the first time. Participants will be randomly assigned to tegoprubart or standard treatment with tacrolimusat the time of transplant. If you have…
This is a 60-month adaptive to evaluate three siplizumab-based treatment regimens in kidney transplant recipients. The purpose of this research study is to see if the anti-rejection medications that patients normally take after transplant can be reduced or stopped completely by using several medications including the investigational drug siplizumab in the…
