Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug belumosudil to standard anti-rejection medicines can prevent scarring in new kidney transplants. Scarring often leads to transplant failure over time. About 40 adults receiving a first or second kidney will take either the drug or a placebo for one year. The goal is to see if the drug reduces serious side effects and slows kidney damage.
