Gurgaon, HaryanaAges 30 years+ - NCT06243731Recruiting
Maribavir for CMV after transplant in kidney failure
This study looks at how well the drug maribavir works in adults with kidney failure who get a CMV infection after a transplant. It focuses on people whose CMV infection hasn't responded to other treatments.
Anderlecht, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT07090512Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict kidney risk after transplant
This study uses ultrasound of donor kidneys to predict the risk of kidney problems after transplant. It may help doctors better understand transplant outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT04239703Recruiting
Kidney transplant biopsy study using blood test clues
This study looks at kidney transplant patients who are getting a kidney biopsy for usual clinical reasons. It tests whether special blood test results (from a sample taken as part of the study) can help spot transplant kidney problems earlier or more accurately.
Tampa, FloridaAges Any age - NCT07081126Recruiting
Daratumumab for late antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant
This trial tests whether daratumumab can help treat a type of rejection that happens more than a year after a kidney transplant. It may be an option for people who have biopsy-proven antibody-mediated rejection and new donor-specific antibodies.
MartinAges 18 years+ - NCT06677437Recruiting
Preparing blood vessels for kidney transplant
This trial tests a procedure to fix blocked or damaged blood vessels in the pelvis so you can get a kidney transplant. It might help if your blood vessels are the only reason you can't have a transplant yet.
BronAges 18–85 - NCT07197164RecruitingPhase 2
Remdesivir for kidney transplant patients with mild COVID-19
This trial tests whether giving remdesivir to kidney transplant patients who test positive for COVID-19 can prevent them from getting severely ill. It is for people who have already had at least three COVID-19 vaccine doses and are scheduled to receive a kidney transplant soon.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04571203RecruitingPhase 1
Kidney transplant plus blood-cell treatment to help the graft settle
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan (including rabbit medicine and a low dose of radiation) meant to help the new kidney “take” and work longer. It also includes a kidney-from-deceased-donor process and checks how safely the treatment works in people with end-stage kidney disease.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06584773RecruitingPhase 4
Stronger immune therapy for high-antibody kidney transplant patients
This trial is testing a stronger combination of four immune-suppressing medicines (including mTOR inhibitors) to help prevent rejection in kidney transplant patients who have a high level of antibodies. It aims to see if this approach works better than standard care for these 'sensitized' patients.
São PauloAges 18–60 - NCT05374291Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Dapagliflozin trial for kidney and heart outcomes in severe CKD
This study tests whether dapagliflozin can improve kidney and heart-related outcomes in people with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD). You would take the study medicine (or a comparison treatment) and be followed to see how your kidneys and heart do over time.
Canberra, Australian Capital TeritoryAges 18 years+ - NCT05084768Recruiting
Test blood markers to predict kidney transplant rejection
This study looks at special blood tests to help predict when kidney transplant rejection might happen. If the markers work, they could help doctors catch rejection earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06741072RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine to prevent EBV-related cancer in transplant patients
This trial tests a vaccine (OSU-2131) that may help prevent cancers caused by the Epstein-Barr virus in people waiting for an organ transplant. The vaccine is designed to train your immune system to fight the virus.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06625073RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2i for heart transplant recipients
This trial is testing a medication called SGLT2i (a type of diabetes drug that also helps the heart and kidneys) in people who have received a heart transplant. It aims to see if this drug can improve health after transplant.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706492Recruiting
Muscle oxygen and frailty in kidney transplant patients
This study looks at how well muscles use oxygen and how frailty affects kidney transplant recipients, especially those with weak breathing muscles. It may help understand why some patients feel more tired or weak after transplant.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT05385432RecruitingPhase 3
Kidney transplant induction therapy for sensitized patients
This trial tests a specific “induction” treatment to help people who have stronger immune reactions from past sensitizing events during a kidney transplant. It may help improve how well the transplant works and how safely the immune system is managed.
ToursAges 18–79 - NCT06531967Enrolling by invitation
Predicting survival in kidney transplant recipients
This study looks at factors that may help predict how long kidney transplant recipients live. If you are an adult who has received a single kidney transplant (your first one), you may be able to take part.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–100 - NCT05679024RecruitingPhase 3
Apixaban to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation and kidney failure
This trial tests apixaban (a blood thinner) to prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter who have very poor kidney function or are on dialysis. If you qualify, you may help researchers find a safer way to lower stroke risk for this higher-risk group.
HelsinkiAges 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.
