Renal infectious disease

This trial is testing whether specially grown T cells from cord blood can help prevent or treat infections caused by common viruses (CMV, EBV, BKV, and adenovirus) in people who have had a cord blood transplant. The study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of these v…

This phase 2 trial investigates whether intravenous ribavirin (Virazole) can reduce deaths in adults with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), a severe viral illness that can cause kidney failure. The study enrolls military-affiliated personnel with probable or suspected…

This study tests the safety of an antibiotic called Vabomere in children aged 3 months to 12 years who have complicated urinary tract infections, including kidney infections. The children receive the medicine through an IV while in the hospital. Researchers monitor for side effec…

This study looks at two drug combinations to treat BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients. BK virus can cause the new kidney to fail. The trial compares everolimus with a lower dose of tacrolimus versus a lower dose of tacrolimus plus leflunomide in 50 adults whose vi…

This study aimed to see if a special blood filter (Seraph 100) could reduce BK virus levels in kidney transplant patients with high viral loads. It planned to enroll adults with a BK virus level of 10,000 IU/mL or higher who already had dialysis access. However, the trial was wit…

This study tests a new way to treat viral infections that often occur after a solid organ transplant. Researchers create special immune cells, called viral-specific T-cells, from the patient's own blood to fight the virus. The goal is to reduce the need for strong anti-viral drug…

This study follows 28 kidney transplant recipients who are switching from one anti-rejection drug (anticalcineurin) to another (belatacept). Researchers want to see how this change affects the immune system's ability to fight the common CMV virus. Participants will have blood tes…

This study reviews medical records of 50 adults who received a simultaneous liver-kidney transplant between 2015 and 2020. Researchers want to find out how many of them developed BK virus in their blood, which can harm the new kidney. The goal is to better understand this risk in…

This study tests whether using rapid, advanced lab tests to identify the exact bacteria causing a severe infection can help doctors choose the right antibiotics faster. About 190 adults with sepsis in Greek ICUs will either get standard care or the new testing strategy. The goal …
