NCT02555566
Endothelial lesions within the transplanted kidney are a major determinant of chronic allograft nephropathy. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors with anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative and vasodilator properties. The main goal of the investigators' study is to evaluate whether genetic polymorphisms of specific enzymes responsible for the bioavailability of EETs are associated with post-transplant kidney function. To this end, 80 kidney transplant recipients will be included. Prespecified genetic polymorphisms of CYP 2J2, CYP 2C8, CYP 2C9, CYP 2C9, CYP 2C19 and EPHX2 will be determined. Kidney function will be recorded 3, 6, 12 and 36 months after transplantation. Flow-mediated dilatation, EETs and circulating biomarkers of endothelial function will be measured in the radial artery. The expected results of this study to provide preliminary evidence supporting a beneficial role of an increase in the bioavailability of EETs in kidney transplant recipients.
NCT07531966
* To determine the incidence of arterial inflow problems and venous outflow problems as causes of impaired renal function and/or treatment-resistant hypertension after kidney transplantation, when all kidney-transplant recipients in Denmark are evaluated according to uniform, well-defined clinical criteria. * To investigate the efficacy and safety of catheter-based balloon treatment (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, PTA) for these vascular complications, of which transplant renal artery stenosis is by far the most common. * To assess whether novel imaging and functional diagnostic methods can predict treatment response.
NCT04128189
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how well the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) works and how safe it is in adults with kidney failure who are waiting for a kidney transplant, including those who later receive a transplant. The study also aims to find out whether giving an extra (third) dose of the vaccine after transplant improves protection. The main questions it aims to answer are: How strong is the body's immune response to the vaccine at different time points (about 1 month, 2 years, and 3 years after vaccination) in people waiting for a kidney transplant? Does a third dose of the vaccine after transplant improve the immune response compared to not receiving a third dose? How long does protection from the vaccine last before and after transplant? How safe is the vaccine in this group, including whether it affects transplant-related immune markers? Researchers will compare people who receive a third dose of the vaccine after transplant to those who do not receive a third dose, as well as to results from similar groups studied in the past, to see if the extra dose improves immune protection. Participants will: Be screened to see if they can take part in the study Attend about 3 to 6 study visits over approximately 30 to 37 months Receive two doses of the shingles vaccine if they have not already been vaccinated, or complete study assessments if they were vaccinated before joining If they receive a kidney transplant during the study, be randomly assigned (by chance) to receive either a third dose of the vaccine or no additional dose Complete questionnaires, have physical exams if needed, and provide blood (and urine, if applicable) samples at study visits Take part in follow-up visits to check immune response and safety, with the option to allow samples to be stored for future research Shingrix is approved for adults aged 50 and older and for younger adults with weakened immune systems. However, giving a third dose after a kidney transplant is not standard practice and is being studied in this trial.
NCT07488481
Donor organs often carry latent Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection that may be transmitted to the recipient. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the safety of SYN002 treatment during Ex-Vivo Organ Perfusion (EVOP) in clinical kidney transplantation. Donor kidneys will be treated on the EVOP system with SYN002 in order to decrease the burden of latent CMV in the organ and mitigate the transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV).
NCT05702398
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility and safety of oral nicotinamide (NAM; a derivative of vitamin B3 \[niacin\]) and vitamin A in a high-risk population of kidney transplant recipients with a history of skin cancer to generate preliminary data for future cancer prevention clinical trials.
NCT05220397
The purpose of this research is to see if a dose of the Janssen Ad26.CoV2.S vaccine effects the immune protection in individuals who have had a kidney transplant and two or three doses of mRNA vaccine (Pfizer and/or Moderna vaccines).
NCT04965935
This study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial comparing the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin to placebo in 52 kidney transplant recipients (KTR) with or without pre-existing type 2 diabetes (T2D) or post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM). The primary outcome of the trial is to determine if dapagliflozin is superior to placebo in reduction of blood pressure in KTR.
NCT06011850
This study aims to determine the most effective and long-lasting pain relief method for post-operative analgesia in kidney donor and recipient patients in kidney transplantation programme with the least invasive and least drug administration. For this reason, it is planned to perform Quadratus lumborum plane block (QLB) in a group of patients who will be kidney donors and kidney recipients in kidney transplantation and who meet the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification System 1-3 risk classification between the ages of 18-70 years, and to administer intravenous pain medication without block in another group. It is planned to include at least 84 patients in the Quadratus lumborum plan block (QLB) and Intravenous Analgesia group (IVA) without gender discrimination. Postoperative Sedation-Agitation assessment and NRS (numeric pain scale) at 1st hour, 2nd, 6th, 12th and 24th hours, as well as possible side effects such as nausea, vomiting, shoulder pain, respiratory depression, bradycardia and hypotension, total amount of opioid analgesics consumed within 24 hours and duration of hospital stay will be observed and recorded.
NCT06806670
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether, over an observation period of 3 years, there is a reduction in cardiovascular risk, and the extent of this reduction, in a group of adult kidney transplant patients undergoing tailored exercise combined with dietary counselling compared to a group of patients following the 'standard of care'.
NCT05938712
The study aims to determine the short-term efficacy, mechanisms and safety of 12 weeks of dapagliflozin and semaglutide combination therapy in 20 KTR, with and without T2D.
NCT02424227
This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study of kidney transplant subjects where blood specimens, intended for dd-cfDNA and other future research purposes, will be drawn after transplant
NCT01517984
The study will compare how well transplanted kidneys work and the response of people's immune systems as tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), is withdrawn. In addition, this research study will evaluate whether reducing immunosuppression can decrease some of these side effects while still preventing rejection of the kidney.
NCT02058875
The overall goal of this study is to improve cardiovascular outcomes in transplant recipients. The current standard immunosuppressive regimen in kidney transplant recipients depends on a higher exposure to the Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI), and often a less than optimal dosage the of mycophenolic acid (MPA) derivative. The premise of this study is to investigate the effects of reversing this paradigm. More specifically, the effect of using maximum MPA dosages (in the form of enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium \[EC-MPS\] or Myfortic®) along with judicious CNI exposure (cyclosporine/Neoral®) will be investigated.
NCT01889758
The study is designed to compare the steady-state pharmacokinetics of Prograf (Brand) and the two most disparate generic formulations (Generic Hi and Generic Lo) in a fully replicated, 3-way cross-over study in stable kidney (n=36) and liver transplant (n=36) subjects.
NCT00307125
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with rituximab (anti-CD20, Rituxan®, MabThera®) in individuals who develop new anti-HLA antibodies after renal (kidney) transplant will promote longer-term survival of the transplanted kidney.The pilot study compares the use of rituximab (Rituxan®) + site-specific standard immunosuppression to placebo + site-specific standard immunosuppression in the treatment of circulating anti-HLA antibodies in subjects who develop de novo anti-HLA antibodies between 3-36 months after transplant.
NCT01087190
It has been recommended that all transplant recipients undergo a tuberculin skin test (TST) before transplantation. However, the ability of TST to diagnose latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in transplant candidates has been reported to be suboptimal because of high rates of false-negative and false-positive results. The enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT) detecting interferon-gamma secreting T-cells for diagnosing tuberculosis infection gave promising results in immunocompromised patients as well as in immunocompetent patients. The investigators will perform a randomized, open-label, prospective trial of isoniazid (INH) prophylaxis based on ELISPOT assay for LTBI in renal transplant recipients.
NCT00199667
Acumulating data suggest that thrapeutic drug therapeutic may optimize efficacity and tolerance of MMF. It could guarantee better exposure to the drug in the first 3 months and then minimize side effects in the long term. However definitive proof is still lacking. We conducted a randomized study in 11 french centers and included 137 kidney transplant recipients (PRA\<50%) receiving a classical immunosuppressant regimen with basiliximab, Csa, MMF and steroids. The "fixed dose" group received 2 g of MMF a day. The "concentration controlled" group received MMF dose adapted to the area under the concentration curve (AUC) of MPA, with a target of 40 h.mg/L. After transplantation AUCs were calculated with a Bayesian estimator using a 3-point limited sampling strategy on day 7, 14, and months 1, 3, 6 , 12 in both groups (values note communicated to the physicians in the "fixed dose" group.
