NCT ID NCT07060716

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing whether a donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) test can accurately detect rejection in kidney transplant recipients. Researchers will compare the test results to standard biopsy findings in 125 adults who are at least 12 days post-transplant. If the test works well, it could offer a less invasive way to monitor transplant health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
donor-derived cell-free DNA test
What this could lead to
If successful, this test could offer a simpler, less invasive way to monitor kidney transplant health and catch rejection early.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not be accurate enough to replace biopsies, and results may vary across patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is 18 years of age or older 2. At least 12 calendar days have elapsed since the subject received a kidney transplant. 3. Subject has provided legally effective informed consent 4. Subject agrees to comply with all study procedures Exclusion Criteria: 1. Kidney donor is an identical twin of the subject. 2. The subject has another previously transplanted organ in situ. 3. Subject has received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. 4. Subject has received a bone marrow graft. 5. Subject has self-reported as pregnant. 6. In the opinion of the investigator, the subject's participation in the study would pose a risk to data integrity or to the subject's safety and welfare. Sample Inclusion Criteria: 1\. A graft biopsy is obtained within ±1 week of blood draw. * If blood draw is obtained after biopsy, blood draw should be taken at least 2 days after an uncomplicated biopsy procedure. Sample Exclusion Criteria: 1. Sample collected from someone that had an invasive graft biopsy ≤ 48 hours prior to blood draw. 2. Sample collected from subject that received immunosuppressive treatment for biopsy-proven acute rejection ≤ 30 days prior to blood draw 3. Sample collected from subject that received a blood transfusion ≤ 30 days prior to blood draw. 4. Sample collected from a subject that provided another sample for the study within the past 7 days.
