NCT ID NCT04542733

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study tests whether a combination of everolimus with reduced-dose tacrolimus works better than reduced-dose tacrolimus plus leflunomide for treating BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients. BK virus can damage the new kidney, and standard treatment is lowering immune-suppressing drugs. The trial enrolls 50 adults with persistent BK virus in their blood and measures how well the virus clears over three months.
