New biobank aims to unlock why kidney disease returns after transplant
NCT ID NCT05650619
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is collecting medical information and biological samples (like blood, urine, and kidney tissue) from 300 people with FSGS or MCD who have had or will have a kidney transplant. The goal is to build a research biobank called RESOLVE to help scientists study why these diseases sometimes come back after transplant. No new treatments are being tested—this is purely an effort to gather data for future research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help researchers better understand why FSGS and MCD sometimes return after a kidney transplant, potentially pointing toward new treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new drug or therapy, and results may take years to influence patient care.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
