Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–65 - NCT05516472RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Fecal transplant study for people with frequent kidney stones
This trial tests whether transplanting donated stool microbiome (fecal microbiota transplantation) can change gut bacteria and help reduce harm from frequent kidney stones. You would provide urine and stool samples and have follow-up checks to watch for side effects.
Park City, UtahAges 18–69 - NCT06535945RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin to protect kidney function after liver transplant
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT05626530RecruitingPhase 4
Letermovir to prevent CMV after transplant illness
This trial studies whether letermovir can help prevent CMV (a common virus after transplant) from coming back after you’ve already been treated. If you qualify, you may be offered letermovir as “secondary prevention” and followed for about 6 months.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT07333495Recruiting
Using MRI to check kidney transplant health
This study tests if a special MRI (without dye) can accurately measure how well a transplanted kidney is working. It is for people who have received a kidney transplant or a combined kidney-pancreas transplant, and for living donors.
Shiyan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT03707262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brother or sister donor transplant using kidney and stem cells
This study tests a combined approach for kidney transplant patients: standard living-donor kidney transplant plus an added “stem cell” component taken from the same sibling donor. It aims to improve transplant outcomes by trying to better control the immune response and reduce complications.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05284877Recruiting
Study of HPV and skin cancer after organ transplant
This study looks at how human papillomavirus (HPV) and skin cancer behave in people who have had a solid organ transplant. It also includes healthy people for comparison, to understand what might be different after transplant and immune medicines.
Copenhagen NV, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06367205Recruiting
Fluid and blood pressure management in kidney transplant
This trial tests a way to manage fluids and blood pressure during kidney transplant surgery to see if it improves recovery. It may be an option for people getting a kidney from a deceased donor.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT05508009RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Kidney transplant with donor-matched stem cell treatment
This early-phase trial tests a stem cell transplant from a donor who is an extremely close match, given to people who are about to receive a kidney transplant from the same donor. The goal is to improve how well the new kidney works by resetting the immune system to better accept the transplant.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT05576116Enrolling by invitation
Bariatric surgery plus pancreas transplant after kidney transplant
This trial studies whether adding bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and a pancreas transplant can improve health in people with long-term type 2 diabetes who already received a kidney transplant. It may help with blood sugar control and related metabolic health, while also needing careful safety screening for kidney function and blood vessel health.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–50 - NCT07533669Recruiting
Sensory room visit before kidney transplant surgery
This study tests whether spending time in a calming sensory room before kidney transplant surgery helps reduce pain, anxiety, and sleep problems. You would visit a specially designed room with soothing sights, sounds, and textures before your operation.
SakaryaAges 18 years+ - NCT06568549RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing Immunosuppression in Older Kidney Transplant Patients (RIOT Trial)
This trial tests whether older kidney transplant recipients can safely reduce their immunosuppression medications using a special monitoring tool called Trugraf. If you are over 55, have had a stable transplant, and want to possibly lower your medications, this study may be for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 55 years+ - NCT07663669Recruiting
Photopheresis for antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant
This study looks at how well extracorporeal photopheresis (a treatment that filters and treats your blood with light) works for kidney transplant patients who have antibody-mediated rejection (when your immune system attacks the new kidney). It may help doctors understand if this treatment can stop the rejection.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06752577Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for chronic kidney disease safety study
This study tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from bone marrow is safe for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It aims to see if this treatment can help slow kidney function loss.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06919003RecruitingPhase 2
Improving kidney transplant with a single injection of a protective protein
This trial tests whether a single injection of C1 esterase inhibitor into a donated kidney during preservation can improve transplant outcomes. It is for adults on dialysis waiting for a deceased-donor kidney who meet specific blood and tissue matching requirements.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06769191RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CD7 car-t, stem cell transplant, and kidney transplant for SIOD
This trial tests a sequence of treatments for SIOD (a genetic condition causing immune and kidney problems). First, you receive CD7 car-t cells, then a stem cell transplant from a family donor, followed by a kidney transplant from the same donor. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can help your body accept the new kidney.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT04469842RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Long-acting tacrolimus after lung transplant
This early-stage study tests a long-acting form of tacrolimus (a common anti-rejection medicine) soon after lung transplant. It aims to see if it can be used safely and effectively for people receiving lung transplants at Vanderbilt (VUMC).
