NCT ID NCT06091995
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving one dose of belatacept can delay the start of another drug, tacrolimus, in kidney transplant patients whose new kidneys are slow to start working. The goal was to see if this approach helps the kidneys recover faster and reduces infections. The study included 67 adults who had a kidney transplant and experienced delayed graft function.
