Short-chain fatty acid supplement for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether taking a short-chain fatty acid (a type of fiber-like substance) supplement can improve gut health in people who have had a kidney transplant. It may help keep the transplant working well.
Martin, SlovakiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07011238Recruiting
Memory B cells and anti-HLA antibodies in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at how memory B cells (a type of immune cell) relate to antibodies against HLA in people waiting for a kidney transplant. It aims to better understand immune responses, which could help improve transplant matching and outcomes.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT07006532Recruiting
Tocilizumab for chronic active antibody-mediated rejection
This trial tests whether the drug tocilizumab can help treat chronic active antibody-mediated rejection after a kidney transplant. It is for people whose kidney function is still fairly good and who have certain findings on biopsy.
TehranAges 18 years+ - NCT06997016Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Recovery program for living donor kidney transplant
This trial tests a special recovery program (ERAS) for people who get a kidney from a living donor. The program aims to help you heal faster and feel better after surgery.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06918990RecruitingPhase 1
CarBel for antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplant
This study tests a new drug called CarBel to treat antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant patients. The goal is to see if it can help stop the rejection and protect your new kidney.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06878560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pig kidney transplant for kidney failure patients
This trial tests a special pig kidney (10 GE Xenokidney) as a transplant option for people with kidney failure who cannot get a human kidney. It aims to offer a life-saving alternative.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–70 - NCT06751602Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Belumosudil to prevent kidney scarring after transplant
This trial tests whether a drug called belumosudil can reduce scarring in the kidney after transplant. Scarring can lead to kidney damage over time, and this study aims to stop that from happening.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06409819RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Phage therapy for recurrent UTIs in kidney transplant patients
This trial tests a phage (virus that kills bacteria) treatment for women who have had a kidney transplant and keep getting urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli bacteria. It aims to see if this therapy can help prevent future infections.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06552169RecruitingPhase 2
Treg cell therapy to lower anti-rejection meds after kidney transplant
This trial tests whether adding a special type of immune cell (Treg cells) to standard therapy can help kidney transplant recipients safely take lower doses of anti-rejection medicines. It is for people who are getting a kidney from a living donor.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–65 - NCT06235892RecruitingPhase 3
