Could one drug replace many for kidney transplant patients?

NCT ID NCT04786067

Summary

This study tested whether kidney transplant patients could safely switch from taking several anti-rejection medications to just one drug called belatacept. Researchers used special blood tests to monitor patients for signs of organ rejection during this medication change. The goal was to see if this simpler treatment plan could control the immune system effectively while reducing side effects from multiple drugs.
