New drug aims to kickstart transplanted kidneys faster
NCT ID NCT06830798
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether ravulizumab, given intravenously, can reduce the severity of delayed graft function (DGF) in adults at high risk after kidney transplant. DGF is when the new kidney is slow to start working, often requiring dialysis. The study will compare ravulizumab to a placebo in 450 participants, measuring time to freedom from dialysis and other outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ravulizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could reduce the need for dialysis after kidney transplant, helping the new kidney work sooner and improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with 450 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Ravulizumab can increase infection risk, and the benefit over placebo is not yet proven.
