HeartCare Immuno-optimization in Cardiac Allografts (MOSAIC)

This is an unblinded, randomized, controlled, two-arm interventional research study enrolling patients who are undergoing heart transplantation. The aim of the study is to determine whether patients at low risk of rejection can safely reduce the doses of their post-transplant immunosuppression medications using a combination of tests that include donor-specific antibodies (DSA), histology (looking at tissue from the donor heart), donor-derived cell-free DNA (AlloSure), and gene expression profiling (AlloMap). Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into the HeartCare immune-optimization (intervention) arm or the corresponding observational (control) arm. AlloSure and AlloMap are the components of the HeartCare panel developed by CareDx.
