KIDNEY TRANSPLANT

This study tests whether taking an antibiotic called TMP-SMX for an extra 6 months after a kidney transplant can prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children and young adults. About 50 participants will either receive the antibiotic or a placebo daily for 6 months. Researc…

This study tests whether using a salt substitute that is lower in sodium and higher in potassium can help kidney transplant recipients lower their blood pressure. About 80 participants will use either the special salt or regular salt for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if the s…

This study tests a new medicine called TNX-1500 in 5 people who get a kidney transplant. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney. Participants will be followed for one year to check for side effects and signs of rejection.

This study will test a new blood test called GraftAssure on 5,000 kidney transplant recipients. The test looks for DNA from the donor kidney in the patient's blood to spot rejection earlier and more accurately than current methods. The goal is to reduce the need for invasive biop…

This study tests whether an IDO-1 inhibitor can safely prevent health problems caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in kidney transplant patients. It includes 9 adults who have never had EBV and are receiving a kidney from a donor who has had EBV. Participants will get either t…

This study aims to see if information from a machine that preserves donor kidneys can help predict how well the kidney will work after transplant. Researchers will collect data from 300 people receiving kidneys from older or higher-risk donors. The goal is to improve organ preser…

This study looks at two standard stitching methods (interrupted vs. continuous) used to connect the kidney artery to the iliac artery during living donor kidney transplants. Researchers will review past cases and follow 70 new adult patients at Assiut University to see which tech…

This study tests whether a program using videos and text messages can help more people with kidney failure get a transplant from a living donor. About 430 adults who are being evaluated for a kidney transplant will take part. Half will get the video-and-text program with extra su…

This study looks at whether a kidney transplant-specific check-up for older adults (aged 60+) with advanced kidney disease can help doctors make better decisions about who is suitable for a transplant. About 50 participants will either receive this extra assessment plus usual car…

This study looks at whether a short video can help kidney transplant patients take their medications more accurately than just getting verbal instructions. About 308 adult patients will be split into two groups: one gets the video, the other gets standard verbal teaching. Researc…

This study looks at why some people with chronic kidney disease in Spain may not have the same chance to get a kidney transplant. Researchers will review past studies, survey 3,000 patients and doctors, and test a training program to find and fix these unfair differences. The goa…

This study looks at the DNA and chemical marks on DNA of 200 children who have had a liver or kidney transplant. Researchers want to find out if these genetic clues can help predict problems after transplant, like organ rejection or infections. No extra tests are needed—samples a…
