New drug could unlock kidney transplants for sensitized kids
NCT ID NCT05753930
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This trial tests a drug called imlifidase in highly sensitized children aged 1-17 who need a kidney transplant. The drug aims to quickly clear antibodies that would normally cause rejection, turning a positive crossmatch negative and allowing the transplant to happen. Researchers will check if the drug works and how well the new kidney functions over time.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
imlifidase
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help highly sensitized children receive a kidney transplant that would otherwise be impossible due to immune rejection.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 10 participants. The drug may not work for all, and there are risks from the transplant and immune-suppressing medications.
Conditions
