Brief Summary:
This is an observational registry to assess the clinical utility of surveillance using HeartCare testing services, in association with clinical care of heart transplant recipients.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Heart Transplant Rejection Other: Standard of Care

Detailed Description:
HeartCare is a service which includes AlloMap® and AlloSure-Heart® to provide information to help clinicians to more comprehensively monitor heart transplant recipients for allograft rejection. An approach to surveillance using HeartCare provides information from two complementary measures; AlloMap is a gene-expression profile based measure of host immune activity and risk of acute rejection. AlloSure-Heart monitors graft injury. AlloMap is the first FDA cleared test and is the only non-invasive, blood test method recommended in the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) guidelines for surveillance of heart transplant recipients for rejection. AlloSure-Heart measures donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) to help discriminate acute cellular rejection and antibody-mediated rejection from no rejection. Patients who receive HeartCare, as part of their post-transplant management, will give informed consent for information on their outcomes and other relevant clinical information, found in their medical records, to be entered into a SHORE database for purposes of the study.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
HeartCare
Diagnostic Test: Heart Care 2300 patients managed with HeartCare (AlloMap® and AlloSure-Heart® )
 Other: Standard of Care
Other Standard measures for monitoring rejection: Endomyocardial Biopsy, Echocardiogram, Angiography, Intravascular Ultrasound, Donor-specific HLA Antibody
Control
A historical control group will be matched to the estimated 1150 HeartCare group patients who complete at least two years of HeartCare surveillance use and inclusive of year 3 post-transplant clinical follow-up for outcome. The criteria for the matched controls will be based on allograft donor type, age, gender, ethnicity/race, and other clinical factors. Propensity scores will be used to perform the matching.
 Other: Standard of Care
Other Standard measures for monitoring rejection: Endomyocardial Biopsy, Echocardiogram, Angiography, Intravascular Ultrasound, Donor-specific HLA Antibody


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of patients alive at one, two and three years post-transplantation. [ Time Frame: Dec-2024 ]

Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
For AlloMap, RNA isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) For AlloSure-Heart, plasma from venous blood will be collected and cell-free DNA will be extracted from the plasma for analysis of donor-derived cell-free DNA
