Smart drug matching during kidney transplant could boost success
NCT ID NCT07633600
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving specific blood pressure drugs based on a patient's circulation type during kidney transplant surgery improves how the body responds to fluids. Researchers will monitor 255 adults and assign drugs like vasopressin or norepinephrine based on real-time heart and blood vessel measurements. The goal is to see if this personalized approach leads to better blood pressure control and fluid management during the operation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Vasopressin, Norepinephrine, Calcium Chloride, Dopamine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better blood pressure and fluid management during kidney transplant surgery, potentially improving outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center Phase 4 trial that has not yet started recruiting. The approach is experimental and may not improve patient outcomes or be generalizable to other centers.
