NCT ID NCT05669001
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tested a new combination of drugs—siplizumab, belatacept, and mycophenolic acid—in 76 people who just received a kidney transplant. The goal was to see if this combo is safer and works better than the usual immunosuppression therapy. Researchers measured side effects and kidney function over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
siplizumab (TCD601) combined with belatacept and mycophenolic acid
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new way to prevent organ rejection with fewer side effects than current standard treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 trial with only 76 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination therapy could still cause serious side effects or fail to improve outcomes.
