KIDNEY TRANSPLANT

This study tests a new medicine called TNX-1500 in 5 people who get a kidney transplant. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney. Participants will be monitored for one year after their transplant.

This study tests whether using a salt substitute with less sodium and more potassium can help kidney transplant recipients lower their blood pressure. About 80 participants will use either the special salt or regular salt for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if the salt substitu…

This study looks at whether taking an antibiotic called trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) for an extra 6 months after a kidney transplant can prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). About 50 children and young adults who recently had a kidney transplant will either take TM…

This study will test a new blood test called GraftAssure on 5,000 kidney transplant recipients. The test looks for DNA from the donor kidney in the patient's blood to spot rejection earlier and more accurately than current methods. The goal is to reduce the need for invasive biop…

This study tests if a drug called an IDO-1 inhibitor can safely prevent problems from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in kidney transplant patients. It includes 9 adults who have never had EBV and are getting a kidney from a donor who has had EBV. Participants will receive either th…

This study looks at whether a detailed health check called a kidney transplant-specific comprehensive geriatric assessment (KT-CGA) can help older adults (60+) with advanced kidney disease get a fairer evaluation for a kidney transplant. About 50 participants will either receive …

This study looks at why some people with chronic kidney disease in Spain may not have the same chance to get a kidney transplant. Researchers will review past studies, survey 3,000 patients and doctors, and test a training program to find and fix these unfair differences. The goa…

This study looks at the DNA and chemical marks on DNA of 200 children who have had a liver or kidney transplant. Researchers want to find out if these genetic clues can help predict problems after transplant, like organ rejection or infections. No extra tests are needed—samples a…

This study will collect data from 300 kidney transplant patients who receive kidneys from older or higher-risk donors. Researchers want to see if information from the machine that preserves the kidney before transplant can predict how well the kidney will work after one year. The…

This study looks at two standard ways of stitching the kidney artery to the iliac artery during a living donor kidney transplant. Researchers will compare interrupted suturing and continuous suturing to see which method shortens cold ischemia time and improves early blood flow. T…

This study tests whether educational videos and text messages can help people with kidney failure learn about and pursue living-donor transplants. About 430 adults referred for a kidney transplant will be split into two groups: one gets the video-and-text program alone, the other…
