Kidney transplant drug switch under study
NCT ID NCT05193565
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether switching kidney transplant patients from their current maintenance drugs to either RaparoBell® or Myrept® is safe and effective. About 206 adults who had a kidney transplant 1-10 years ago are taking part. The goal is to see if the new drugs prevent rejection and graft loss as well as the standard therapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sirolimus (RaparoBell®) and Mycophenolate mofetil (Myrept®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that switching to these drugs is a safe and effective option for long-term kidney transplant maintenance.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with 206 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Risks include rejection, graft loss, or side effects from the new drugs.
