Can a simple drug make kidney biopsies safer for transplant patients?
NCT ID NCT06622187
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether desmopressin, a drug that helps blood clot, can prevent bleeding during kidney biopsies in transplant patients. Researchers will give 96 high-risk patients either desmopressin or a placebo before the procedure and compare bleeding rates. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications like major bleeding or hematomas.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Desmopressin (DDAVP)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple way to reduce bleeding risk during kidney biopsies in transplant patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 96 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Desmopressin may not reduce bleeding significantly or could cause side effects like allergic reactions.
