Immune registry for BK virus in kidney transplant patients
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is creating a registry to learn how the immune system responds to BK virus in people who have recently received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Researchers hope this information will help improve treatment for BK virus infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor
- You had a kidney-only transplant (no other organs)
- You have been recently diagnosed with BK virus in your blood
- You are not currently pregnant
- You are not a prisoner

This study looks at the type and genetic makeup of BK virus in kidney transplant patients and their donors. It aims to find patients at higher risk for a kidney infection caused by the virus, which could help improve monitoring and treatment.
This study tests a new, unlicensed medicine (AIC468) to see if it can reduce BK virus levels in kidney transplant patients. BK virus can sometimes harm the new kidney, so this treatment aims to lower the virus and protect the transplant.
This study tests a new treatment using lab-made antibodies to treat BK virus infection. It may help by controlling the virus in adults who already test BK positive.
This study looks at a new blood test to help monitor the health of your transplanted kidney and check for early signs of rejection. The test will be done as part of your usual care after a kidney transplant.
This study looks at how the immune system responds to BK virus in people who have had a kidney transplant. The virus can sometimes cause problems with the new kidney, so researchers want to compare the immune responses in patients who have the virus with those who don't, and with healthy people.
This study looks at how the immune system of lung transplant recipients responds to a common virus called BK virus, which can sometimes cause problems after a transplant. It aims to help doctors better understand and manage the virus in transplant patients.
