Summary

This study tests whether an IDO-1 inhibitor can safely prevent health problems caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in kidney transplant patients. It includes 9 adults who have never had EBV and are receiving a kidney from a donor who has had EBV. Participants will get either the study drug or a placebo alongside standard care, and will be monitored for side effects and changes in EBV levels for 12 weeks after treatment.
