New study aims to close kidney transplant gap for minorities
NCT ID NCT04615819
First seen Mar 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
Hispanic/Latino and American Indian patients are less likely to get kidney transplants, even though they have higher rates of kidney failure. This study compares two methods to help them complete the transplant evaluation process: a fast-track evaluation done in one day or within four weeks, and a peer navigation program where past transplant recipients offer guidance. Researchers will track which approach leads to more patients getting on the transplant waiting list and receiving a kidney.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which approach—streamlined evaluation or peer support—works best to help minority patients get kidney transplants, reducing healthcare disparities.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so it won't directly treat kidney disease. Results may not apply to other hospitals or populations.
