NCT ID NCT04180085

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether the drug belatacept can protect kidney function in heart transplant patients who are at high risk of chronic kidney disease. About 25 adults who had a heart transplant 3 months ago and have declining kidney function will receive belatacept along with reduced doses of standard anti-rejection drugs. The goal is to see if this approach can slow kidney damage and reduce the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant.
