The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of conversion of existing adolescent kidney allograft recipients aged 12 to less than 18 years of age to a belatacept-based immunosuppressive regimen as compared to continuation of a calcineurin inhibitor-based regimen and their adherence to immunosuppressive medications.
Pediatric kidney transplant recipients often face major psychosocial challenges that are difficult to address with existing tools. This study evaluates whether clinically supervised AI can generate personalized, age-adapted therapeutic stories for these children and their families.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant clinical problem for which dialysis or transplantation is required. The current need for kidneys for transplantation vastly exceeds the supply available from live donors, necessitating the use of kidneys from deceased donors. However, kidneys from deceased donors are associated with reduced viability, as …
This research study is being done to learn if an experimental treatment of infusing allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (allo-A-MSC ) directly into the renal artery is safe and can help reduce inflammation in the transplanted kidney and treat rejection.
The iParent2Parent (iP2P) program is a new, innovative virtual mentorship program that will connect parents one-to-one with other parents of pediatric kidney transplant recipients who are trained to offer vital peer support and mentorship. Parents of children who received a kidney transplant at The Hospital for Sick Children will be …
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the approach to solid organ transplantation has evolved. Transplants using organs (excluding lungs) from COVID-19-positive donors have shown short-term safety, but there is limited data on recipients who are SARS-CoV-2 positive. Currently, kidney transplants in such recipients are delayed until symptoms resolve and …
The purpose of this study is to find out if Berinert can improve kidney function in the first year after transplant and to find out what effects, good or bad, Berinert will have in the kidney recipient. This research study will compare Berinert to placebo. The placebo looks exactly like …
Many people who receive a kidney transplant develop problems with how their body processes sugar (glucose). This includes conditions like prediabetes and diabetes, which can lead to more health issues, such as heart problems and infections. One of the main medications used after a kidney transplant, called tacrolimus, can contribute …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether if it is feasible to implement a study of patients receiving kidney transplantation, to learn if these patients will complete selective outcomes measurements, and to examine if a lifestyle intervention may assist with preventing weight gain compared to standard medical …
In transplantation, B lymphocytes are major cellular players in the alloreactive humoral response through the production of antibodies targeting allogeneic HLA molecules expressed by the transplant. In subjects sensitized to HLA antigens, the contribution of pre-existing alloreactive memory B lymphocytes (Bmem) to allograft rejection phenomena after transplantation is now recognized. …
