New hope for transplant patients fighting a dangerous virus

NCT ID NCT03216967

Summary

This study tested if switching to a different immune-suppressing drug (everolimus) helps kidney transplant patients clear a common and dangerous virus (BK virus) from their blood. It compared this switch to the standard approach of just lowering their current immune-suppressing drugs. The goal was to find a safer, more effective way to control the virus and protect the new kidney.
