Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT06830473Recruiting
Study on predicting kidney transplant rejection in Scotland
This study looks at whether certain tests can help predict or diagnose kidney transplant rejection. If you have had a kidney transplant and are being followed at a main transplant centre in Scotland, you may be able to take part by giving urine samples during your regular check-ups.
EdinburghAges 18–99 - NCT06824454RecruitingPhase 2
Testing dipyridamole to prevent low phosphate after kidney transplant
This trial tests if a drug called dipyridamole can prevent low phosphate levels after a kidney transplant. It is for adult kidney transplant patients who can safely take the drug.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06825117Enrolling by invitation
Probiotics after kidney transplant
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement helps people recovering from a kidney transplant. If you are between 18 and 75 years old and had a smooth recovery in the first month after surgery, you may be able to join.
UdineAges 18–75 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06365411Enrolling by invitation
Genomic medicine study for kidney transplant patients
This study looks at the genes of people who have had or will have a kidney transplant. It aims to learn how genetic information might help improve transplant care over time. Participants will give blood, urine, stool, and possibly kidney tissue samples for research.
Westmead, New South WalesAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06234410Recruiting
Heart risk check before kidney transplant
This study uses a special heart CT scan (called coronary angiography) to check the heart health of people waiting for a kidney transplant. It aims to see if this scan can help doctors better assess and manage heart risks before surgery.
Edinburgh, LothianAges 16 years+ - NCT06206486Recruiting
Gut germs and pain after kidney transplant
This study looks at whether the germs in your gut (microbiome) and certain chemicals in your blood affect pain after a kidney transplant. By joining, you may help doctors better understand and manage pain for future kidney transplant patients.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06056102RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy to help highly sensitized kidney transplant patients
This trial tests whether a special immune cell treatment (CAR-T cells) can lower the antibodies that make it very hard for you to receive a kidney transplant. If it works, you might become eligible for a transplant sooner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - 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 - 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+ - NCT05285878Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Fingolimod to protect kidney function after kidney transplant
