Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people who are getting heart or lung transplants and are within three months of their transplant. Participants will provide blood and other samples to help researchers understand transplant rejection better.

About This Trial
Study Description:
Heart and lung transplants can save lives, but long-term success is often limited by organ rejection that is hard to detect early. This study is testing a new, non-invasive blood test that looks for small pieces of DNA from the donor organ in the patient s blood. We believe higher levels of this donor DNA may signal early rejection before damage becomes permanent.
