Clinical Research Activities
Transplant team physicians are currently collaborating in several multi-center industry-sponsored and investigator-initiated clinical trials. These are designed to assess the safety and efficacy of various FDA-approved as well as investigational drugs in prevention of rejection and various other conditions in organ transplant recipients. The overall focus is to improve quality of life and preserve graft function by minimizing side effects of chronic immunosuppression.
