NantesAges 18–99 - NCT06751992RecruitingPhase 4
Thinking and memory with extended-release tacrolimus in kidney transplant
This study tests if switching to an extended-release form of your anti-rejection medication (tacrolimus) helps protect memory and thinking skills. It is for older adults who have had a kidney transplant at least one year ago.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT06130046Recruiting
Study of MR-proADM as a biomarker for kidney and liver transplant
This trial is testing a simple blood biomarker called MR-proADM to see if it can help doctors detect early signs of transplant rejection or poor kidney function after a kidney or liver transplant.
RomeAges 18–70 - NCT06701825RecruitingPhase 4
Genetic testing before tacrolimus in kidney transplant
This study tests whether doing a simple genetic test before starting the anti-rejection drug tacrolimus can lead to better dosing and outcomes in kidney transplant patients. It also looks at whether this approach is cost-effective.
Madrid, MadridAges Any age - NCT06640179Recruiting
Lifestyle program for kidney transplant recipients
This study tests a diet and exercise program for people who recently received a kidney transplant. It aims to see if the program is safe and helpful for improving health after transplant.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06538961Recruiting
Immune registry for BK virus in kidney transplant patients
This study is creating a registry to learn how the immune system responds to BK virus in people who have recently received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Researchers hope this information will help improve treatment for BK virus infections.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06406179Recruiting
Blood test for donor DNA in kidney transplant care
This trial is testing whether a simple blood test that looks for donor DNA can help doctors take better care of kidney transplant patients. It may help detect early signs of rejection and guide treatment decisions.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06474273RecruitingPhase 3
Treating acute rejection after a kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant
This study compares two ways of treating acute rejection (when the immune system attacks the new organ) in people who have had a kidney or combined kidney-pancreas transplant. It looks at whether adding a different approach helps protect the transplant long-term.
Lambton, New South WalesAges 2 years+ - NCT06407232RecruitingPhase 3
Letermovir for CMV after kidney or pancreas transplant
This trial tests whether a drug called letermovir can safely treat CMV infection in people who have had a kidney or pancreas transplant. It is for those who are at high risk for CMV and whose own immune system cannot fight the virus.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06336863Enrolling by invitation
DNA test to help kidney transplant patients switch to a single anti-rejection drug
This trial uses DNA testing and gene expression profiling to see if kidney transplant recipients can safely switch to a belatacept-only immunosuppression regimen. The goal is to simplify your anti-rejection drugs while keeping your kidney healthy.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06288152Recruiting
Testing a protective solution for donated kidneys
This study tests a special solution given to the donor kidney during storage and transport, which may help protect the kidney before transplant. It is for adults with kidney failure receiving a deceased donor kidney.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06126380Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety of tegoprubart in kidney transplant patients
This is a long-term follow-up study for people who have already completed a study of the drug tegoprubart after a kidney transplant. It checks how safe and effective the drug is over a longer period.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06059664RecruitingPhase 2
Finerenone for kidney transplant recipients: the EFFEKTOR study
This study tests whether a medicine called finerenone can help protect kidney transplants from further damage. People who have had a kidney transplant and have protein in their urine may benefit from this treatment.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06013865RecruitingPhase 4
Empagliflozin for kidney transplant recipients
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a diabetes medicine that also protects the kidneys, can help people who have received a kidney transplant. It may be an option if you have reduced kidney function or diabetes after transplant.
Hines, IllinoisAges 19 years+ - NCT05917522RecruitingPhase 2
Biomarker-guided changes to anti-rejection medicines after kidney transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at whether blood test “biomarkers” can guide safely changing anti-rejection medicines after an ABO-compatible kidney transplant. It may help some people reduce certain medicines while keeping the new kidney protected from rejection.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–70 - NCT05938712RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney transplant trial using two diabetes medicines safely
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining two diabetes medicines—an SGLT2 tablet and a GLP-1 shot (semaglutide)—can improve kidney outcomes and safety in people with a kidney transplant. It may help some recipients, but it also carefully checks for infection risk, diabetes complications, and pregnancy plans.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05525507RecruitingPhase 1
Test early immune-tolerance treatment for matched kidney transplant patients
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan given after a kidney transplant to help the immune system stay calm and reduce the risk of rejection. Participants must have a well-functioning kidney transplant from a closely matched living donor and meet health and safety requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05325008RecruitingPhase 3
IVIG treatment for BK virus after kidney transplant
This Phase 3 trial tests IVIG (an antibody medicine given through a vein) to treat BK virus infection after kidney or pancreas-kidney transplant. It may help lower the BK virus in the blood and protect the transplanted kidney.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 2 years+ - NCT05224583Enrolling by invitation
Study BK virus after combined liver and kidney transplant
This study looks at how often BK virus shows up in people after a combined liver-kidney transplant. It may help the transplant team better predict and manage this virus after surgery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05175885Recruiting
Kidney transplant test using machine perfusion outside the body
This study tests a special way to keep and treat a donated kidney using a machine before it’s transplanted. The goal is to improve transplant outcomes for certain people on the kidney transplant waiting list.
Zaragoza, ZaragozaAges 18 years+ - NCT04783441Recruiting
Continuous glucose sensor study after kidney transplant
This study checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that tracks sugar throughout the day) is helpful and practical for people with a recent kidney transplant and type 2 diabetes on insulin. You may need to wear the sensor continuously and still do finger-stick glucose checks for safety.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04128189RecruitingPhase 3
Shingrix vaccine for people waiting for a kidney transplant
This Phase 3 study tests whether the shingles vaccine Shingrix is safe and effective for adults with chronic kidney failure who are on the transplant waiting list. It aims to protect you from shingles while you may be dealing with transplant-related immune changes.
