Kidney Transplant clinical trials at UC Davis

9 in progress, 4 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • CGM in Kidney Transplant Recipients

    “Volunteer for research and contribute to discoveries that may improve health care for you, your family, and your community!”

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The investigators want to study the impact CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) has on patients glycemic control as determined by time in range (TIR 70-180 mg/dL) in the Diabetic Kidney Transplant population.

  • Comparing Siplizumab With Rabbit Anti-Thymocyte Globulin to Help the Body Accept a Kidney Transplant

    open to eligible people ages 18-70

    The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if siplizumab can prevent rejection of a kidney transplant in adult participants with end stage kidney disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: How many adverse events do participants receiving two different doses of siplizumab have compared to rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG)? How many participants successfully keep their kidney transplant after receiving siplizumab or rATG? This will be calculated as those participants that did not: die; have their kidney fail to work properly (graft loss); their body rejects their transplant (tissue sample (biopsy)-proven acute rejection: BPAR); or who were lost to follow-up. How does the body respond to siplizumab after dosing at each of the 2 dose levels? How does siplizumab work in the body compared to rATG? Selected participants will be divided into 3 groups. In 2 of the groups, participants will be given siplizumab at one of the two study medicine doses. Participants in the third group will be given rATG. All participants will take the usual anti-rejection medicines given before, during, and after a kidney transplant. All participants will also be given medicines before the study drug to lower the risk of reactions, and medicines used to prevent or treat infections after the transplant. Participants will be asked to provide their medical history at the first visit at the study site where you will have your kidney transplant. At the first visit and other visits participants will be asked to provide their medication history, have a physical exam, check vital signs, have blood drawn for tests, and have non-invasive tests that record the electrical activity of your heart (ECG) and blood draws. Participants will be monitored for 12 months after transplant surgery.

  • Kidney Transplantation From Donors With HIV: Impact on Rejection and Long-Term Outcomes (Expanding HOPE Kidney)

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This research is being done to better understand rejection in transplant recipients with HIV who receive kidneys from donors with vs without HIV.

  • Letermovir (MK-8228) in Children and Adolescents Who Receive a Kidney Transplant (KT) (MK-8228-077)

    open to eligible people ages up to 17 years

    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 letermovir and if participants tolerate it

  • Dietary Intervention to Improve Kidney Transplant Outcomes

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    Randomized controlled trial of a curriculum intervention teaching patients to eat a whole-food plant-based dietary pattern versus standard of care in kidney transplant recipients within the first few months of transplant

  • Immunosuppression Adjustment on COVID-19 Vaccination Response in Kidney Transplant Recipients

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    Immunocompromised individuals, such as solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are at high risk of COVID-19 associated complications and mortality. Retrospective studies so far have shown that a majority of SOT recipients did not develop appreciable anti-spike antibody response after a first, second, or even third dose of mRNA vaccine. Treatment with antimetabolites was associated with poor vaccine response. The goal of this study is 1) examine whether transient immunosuppression reduction improves the immune response to a third dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine in kidney transplant recipients and 2) to assess the safety of immunosuppression reduction before and after third dose SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination.

  • TAP Blocks With Ropivacaine Continuous Infusion Catheters vs Single Dose Liposomal Bupivicaine After Kidney Transplant

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This study is a comparison of the analgesic efficacy of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks with ropivacaine bolus plus continuous ropivacaine infusion via catheters versus single shot TAP blocks with liposomal bupivacaine.

  • PROspera Kidney Transplant ACTIVE Rejection Assessment Registry (ProActive)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The ProActive registry is a longitudinal, multi-center study with a prospective arm observing clinical care for patients receiving physician ordered Prospera, an allograft rejection test, and a historical control arm collecting data on cases at the same sites whose kidney allograft rejection status was managed with Serum Creatinine SCr/estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate eGFR. This registry will compare patient management and outcomes in patients who receive Prospera (Prospera arm) to the outcomes of the historical control group (control arm) to determine Prospera's clinical utility. High-risk subjects defined as having a biopsy-demonstrated rejection event or at least one pre-existing Donor Specific Antibody DSA with total Mean Fluorescent Intensity MFI>3000 or a calculated Panel Reactive Antibodies cPRA>70% will be followed for an additional period up to 24 months in both the Prospera arm and historical control arm.
