First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study looked at 130 kidney transplant patients with BK virus in their blood. It compared two approaches: reducing standard anti-rejection drugs alone versus reducing them and switching one drug to everolimus. The goal was to see if the switch helps clear the virus better while keeping the kidney working well.
