Safety and Efficacy of Treprostinil (Remodulin®) In Reducing Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury During Kidney Transplantation
The objectives of this study are to test the preliminary safety and efficacy of a two-day peri-operative course of treprostinil in reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury in adult patients receiving a deceased donor kidney transplantation. Treprostinil, a prostacyclin analog, is expected to facilitate the restoration of blood supply to the revascularized kidney …
The Effect of a Prehabilitation Exercise Program on Physical Functioning for Patients Undergoing Kidney Transplantation
Pre-operative physical functioning has been acknowledged as a factor influencing post-operative complication risk, recovery progression and mortality risk. Current guidelines have yet to focus on the pre-operative period as a potential target to improve levels of physical functioning before renal transplantation. This project proposes the introduction of an exercise intervention …
Efficacy and Mechanisms of Dapagliflozin in Promoting Kidney Function and Cardiovascular Health in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Long-term allograft function in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) remain suboptimal, and graft failure causes significant morbidity and mortality, with cardiovascular disease being the leading cause of death in KTRs and the most common cause of death with a functioning graft. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors safely lower cardiovascular and kidney …
Kidney Transplantation From Donors With HIV: Impact on Rejection and Long-Term Outcomes (Expanding HOPE Kidney)
This research is being done to better understand rejection in transplant recipients with HIV who receive kidneys from donors with vs without HIV.
Immunotherapy in Combination With Prednisone and Sirolimus for Kidney Transplant Recipients With Unresectable or Metastatic Skin Cancer
This phase II trial tests the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab with sirolimus and prednisone for the treatment of skin (cutaneous) cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) in kidney transplant recipients. Immunotherapy …
Effect of Empagliflozin vs Linagliptin on Glycemic Outcomes,Renal Outcomes & Body Composition in Renal Transplant Recipients With Diabetes Mellitus
In the early postoperative period, hyperglycemia is frequently seen in renal transplant recipients primarily because of high doses of immunosuppressive therapy. Many of these patients have pre-existing type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, 10-20% of renal transplant recipients develop new onset persisting hyperglycemia following renal transplantation, known as posttransplant diabetes mellitus …
A Trial to Treat Polyomavirus Infections (BKPyV) in Kidney and Simultaneous Kidney Pancreas Transplant Recipients
BEAT-BK will see the effect of immunosuppression reduction/modification with and without IVIG on BKPyV infection, allograft function, allograft loss, acute transplant rejection, immunosuppression load and death in kidney and simultaneous kidney pancreas transplant recipients with polyomavirus infections (BKPyV).
Evaluation of the Level of Expression of CD45RC on T Lymphocytes as a Predictive Biomarker of Acute Rejection After Renal Transplantation
Chronic renal failure is a major public health problem in industrialized countries, due to its frequency - about 3 million patients in France - and its socio-economic impact. At the end stage of renal failure, renal transplantation is the best treatment, allowing an improvement in patient survival compared to treatment …
Early Trial of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients Who Will Receive a Kidney Transplant From the Same Donor
This is a single center, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label phase 1b/2a trial of performing sequential αβdepleted-HSCT and KT in patients requiring KT to prevent kidney rejection post-KT, in the absence of any post-KT immunosuppression, to abrogate the need for lifelong immunosuppression, the risk of chronic rejection and, ultimately, the need for …
A Clinical Study of Letermovir (MK-8228) in Children and Adolescents Who Receive a Kidney Transplant (KT) (MK-8228-077)
Researchers are looking for a way to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) in children and adolescents who receive a kidney transplant (KT) and weigh less than 40 kilograms (88.2 pounds). The goals of the study are to: Learn what happens to letermovir in the body over time Learn about the safety of …
