NCT ID NCT04189835

First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study followed 509 kidney transplant recipients to see if regularly checking Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) levels in the blood could help predict serious infections, a type of cancer called PTLD, and death. The goal was to find out if persistent EBV in the blood is a warning sign that a patient's immune system is too suppressed. The results could help doctors personalize immunosuppressive treatment to reduce risks.
