The TOGETHER Project - Liver (TOGETHER)
May 19, 2022 updated by: Mark Stegall, Mayo Clinic
The Together Project-Transplant Organ Genomics to Help Prevent Rejection in Liver Transplant Recipients
To validate the use of a RNAseq-based peripheral blood assay in liver transplant recipients when correlated to liver biopsy results.

Detailed Description
The study is a prospective, observational study utilizing peripheral blood assays that will be collected at time points that are considered standard of care at most institutions.
100 participants will be enrolled in study.
Participants will have peripheral blood collected at 4 months and 12 months after liver transplant, as well as any for cause time points.
Participants will also have liver biopsies collected at these time points.
The results from the liver biopsies will be used in correlation with the results from the peripheral blood assays.

Study Population
Adult liver transplant recipients with diverse demographics (e.g.
recipient race and donor type) and treatment strategies (induction, steroid-free, etc.).
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have given informed consent and are willing to comply with the protocol, including the use of their peripheral blood specimens and data for subsequent research.
Patients with increased risk of rejection. Patients must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Autoimmune etiology of the original liver disease (autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis or primary sclerosing cholangitis)
- Recipients of donation-after-cardiac death (DCD) donors
- Recipients of simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation
Positive crossmatch liver transplant (T cell flow crossmatch or B cell flow crossmatch).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Adult ( ≥ = 18 years) renal transplant recipient.

Liver Transplant
Participants will obtain a liver biopsy at 4 months post transplant and 12 months post transplant.
|
Patients will obtain a research blood draw and a liver biopsy at 4 months and 12 months post transplant.
Liver biopsies are routinely performed in the liver transplant population.
We will be obtaining a liver biopsy at this particular time point to compare the biopsy results with the peripheral blood results.
