Summary

This study tests whether belimumab, a drug that affects immune cells, can improve detection of antibodies that make it hard for some kidney patients to find a donor. About 25 highly sensitized adults waiting for a kidney transplant will receive a short course of belimumab. Researchers will check if this helps identify more compatible donors and reduces wait time for a transplant.
