First seen Jan 02, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tested whether a single dose of tocilizumab, given right before or after removing a failed kidney transplant, can safely lower the immune system's production of antibodies that make a second transplant difficult. 18 adults who needed their graft removed and hoped for another transplant took part. The main goal was to check for serious infections, while also seeing if the drug reduced harmful antibodies one year later.
