StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06958796RecruitingPhase 4
CMV immunoglobulin to prevent disease after transplant
This trial tests whether giving CMV immunoglobulin (an antibody medicine) after transplant can help prevent a serious CMV infection in people who receive a kidney or liver from a CMV-positive donor. You might be eligible if you are getting one of these transplants and are at high risk for CMV.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT07006831Recruiting
Blood study for kidney transplant patients
This study collects blood and leftover donor samples from kidney transplant recipients who need a biopsy. The goal is to improve monitoring after transplant.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07053462RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene-edited kidney transplant to lower rejection risk
This trial tests a specially edited donor kidney designed to reduce the chance of rejection, especially for people with high sensitivity to donor kidneys. If it works, it could make more kidneys available for those who have a hard time finding a match.
Beijing, ChangpingAges 16–85 - NCT07141043Recruiting
Bone health study after kidney transplant
This study looks at bone and mineral disorders in people on dialysis, after a kidney transplant, or with bone thinning. It aims to understand how these conditions affect bone health.
IașiAges 20–70 - 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+ - NCT07294547Recruiting
Comparing two antivirals for kidney transplant patients
This trial compares two antiviral drugs, valacyclovir and valganciclovir, to see if valacyclovir works as well as valganciclovir for preventing CMV and EBV infections after a kidney transplant.
TaipeiAges 3 years+ - NCT07305012Recruiting
Healthy lifestyle tool for older liver and kidney transplant recipients
This study tests a new tool designed to help people aged 60 or older who have received a liver or kidney transplant improve their eating and physical activity habits. It aims to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Bologna, BOAges 60 years+ - NCT07370727Recruiting
Weight training for kidney transplant patients
This trial studies whether a personalized weight training program helps kidney transplant recipients improve their strength and health. It is for people who are at least one year post-transplant and have stable kidney function.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18–50 - NCT07385651Recruiting
Cool storage for donated kidneys
This trial compares storing donated kidneys at 10 degrees Celsius (a cooler temperature) instead of the usual ice storage. It tests if this might help the kidney stay healthier before transplant.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT01531257Recruiting
Monitoring genes and health after kidney transplant
This study follows people who are getting a kidney transplant (first or later) to better understand how the body recovers, using health tracking and “gene/protein” (proteogenomic) information. It may help doctors predict complications and improve care after transplant.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07415421Recruiting
Parathyroid surgery after kidney transplant
This trial looks at whether removing overactive parathyroid glands (parathyroidectomy) can help people who still have high calcium or low phosphate levels more than 6 months after a kidney transplant. If you have stable kidney function and meet certain blood test results, you may be able to join.
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07531966Recruiting
Blood Vessel Problems After Kidney Transplant Treatment
This study looks at treating narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in transplanted kidneys. If your transplanted kidney is showing signs of not working well and imaging shows a blocked vessel, this trial tests whether a procedure called angioplasty (opening the vessel with a tiny balloon) can help restore blood flow and improve kidney function.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07532694Recruiting
Laser Treatment for Gum Disease in Kidney Transplant Patients
This study tests whether a special diode laser can safely and effectively treat gum disease (periodontitis) in people who have received a kidney transplant. Gum disease is common in transplant recipients and can affect overall health, so this treatment may help protect both oral and transplant health.
