New strategy aims to protect transplanted kidneys from devastating disease recurrence
NCT ID NCT03763643
Summary
This small, early study tested if a combination treatment given around the time of a kidney transplant could prevent a serious kidney disease called FSGS from coming back. It involved 21 children and adults with FSGS who were getting a transplant. Researchers compared giving plasmapheresis (a blood-cleaning process) alone to giving plasmapheresis plus a drug called rituximab, to see which was better at preventing the disease from damaging the new kidney.
