First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 39 times
Summary
This study looks at two drug combinations to treat BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients. BK virus can cause the new kidney to fail. The trial compares everolimus with a lower dose of tacrolimus versus a lower dose of tacrolimus plus leflunomide in 50 adults whose virus did not clear after reducing their usual anti-rejection medicines. The main goal is to see which combination lowers the virus level more over six months.
