Trio of Insights: Commentary on the TRIFECTA Studies Analyzing Three Rejection Diagnostic Tools in Heart, Lung, and Kidney Transplantation, From Natera

Dec 15, 2023

Presented by Natera

Natera returns with another ISHLT Voices podcast. Post-transplant monitoring with noninvasive donor derived cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has been growing in popularity and usage with several transplant centers significantly reducing surveillance biopsies in favor of a single blood test. But, as with all new technology, there are outstanding questions to understand how and why the technology works as well as it does.

In this episode, leading investigators from the Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Centre (ATAGC), Drs. Phil Halloran, Kieran Halloran, and Patrick Gauthier will walk you through their efforts in the TRIFECTA series of studies to triangulate insights from dd-cfDNA, molecular diagnostics, and donor specific antibody versus standard histological assessments in heart, lung, and kidney transplantation.
