Kidney transplants: a smarter way to dose Anti-Infectives?
NCT ID NCT07765615
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether tracking rapid changes in kidney function right after a kidney transplant can help doctors choose the right dose of anti-infective drugs. Currently, dosing relies on static tests that may not reflect the fast shifts in kidney performance during the first days after surgery. By analyzing biomarkers and drug levels, researchers aim to build a model that supports personalized dosing, potentially improving safety and effectiveness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Precision dosing strategies for anti-infective agents, guided by dynamic kidney function markers
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to safer, more effective anti-infective dosing for kidney transplant patients, reducing complications and improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on modeling and validation, so results may not apply broadly. Individual responses to drugs can vary, and the approach needs further testing before routine use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged \>= 18 years old; 2. Patients receiving kidney transplantation within 0-5 days postoperatively; 3. Clinically planned administration of anti-infective agents for perioperative prophylaxis, empirical therapy or confirmed infection treatment, with an anticipated treatment duration of no less than 5 days; 4. Written informed consent obtained from the subject or legal surrogate; 5. Indwelling urinary catheter retained for at least 48 hours postoperatively to facilitate early urine sample collection; 6. Patients anticipated to be free of dialysis requirement with urine output or early graft functional recovery at enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous kidney transplantation or combined multi-organ transplantation 2. Patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy in the early postoperative period 3. Severe hepatic dysfunction, defined as Child-Pugh class C, or ALT/AST \> 5 times the upper limit of normal accompanied by markedly elevated bilirubin 4. Early postoperative use of ECMO, plasmapheresis or other extracorporeal therapies that substantially alter drug clearance 5. Pregnancy or lactation 6. Subjects judged inappropriate for enrollment by investigators, including those with unfeasible sampling, extremely short expected survival, severe missing clinical data, etc.
