New drug may help Hard-to-Transplant kidney patients stay off dialysis longer
NCT ID NCT05714514
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 64 highly sensitized kidney transplant patients who previously received either imlifidase or standard care in an earlier trial. Researchers will track how many patients are alive and free of dialysis at 3 and 5 years, as well as graft survival. The goal is to see if imlifidase helps these hard-to-match patients achieve better long-term transplant success.
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 successful, this could show that imlifidase helps highly sensitized patients receive a kidney transplant and maintain good long-term outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small follow-up study (64 patients) with no new treatment, so results may not apply broadly. Long-term risks like graft rejection or side effects remain possible.
