Clinical Research

Clinical Trials in Abdominal Transplantation

Clinical trials within the Divison of Abdominal Transplantation include: Tolerance Induction, EVB-induced post-transplant lymphoma, and the following Stanford-based trials for liver, kidney, intestine, pacreas, diabetes, and hepatocellular carcinoma. 

This page provides an auto-populated up-to-date list of Stanford Clinical Trials in: liver, kidney, intestine, pancreas, diabetes, hepatocellular carcinoma, and pediatric transplant. 

A Phase 1 Study of Orca-Q in Recipients Undergoing Allogeneic Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of engineered donor grafts ("OrcaGraft"/"Orca-Q") in participants undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant transplantation for hematologic malignancies.

Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.

   12.8)

   7. Uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infections (currently taking antimicrobial
   therapy and with progression or no clinical improvement) at time of enrollment

   8. Seropositive for HIV-1 or -2, HTLV-1 or -2

   9. Any uncontrolled autoimmune disease requiring active immunosuppressive treatment

10. Concurrent malignancies or active disease within 1 year, except non-melanoma skin
   cancers that have been curatively resected

11. History of idiopathic or secondary myelofibrosis

12. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
