Acceptability and Feasibility of TruGraf® Testing as Part of the Standard of Care

September 22, 2021 updated by: Transplant Genomics, Inc.

A Clinical Pilot Study to Test the Acceptability and Feasibility of TruGraf® Testing as Part of the Standard of Care

This is an observational study in renal transplant recipients to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and clinical utility of TruGraf® testing in conjunction with standard clinical assessment. TruGraf is the first and only non-invasive test approved by Medicare to rule out silent rejection in stable kidney transplant recipients.
