Some kidney transplant candidates have a very low chance of getting a kidney transplant because their immune systems are "highly sensitized" to most kidney donors. Being "highly sensitized" means that they will likely have to wait a long time (more than 5 years) before an acceptable donor is found for them or, they never receive a compatible donor, and die while on the kidney transplant waitlist. The purpose of this study is to find out whether two drugs, carfilzomib (Kyprolis®),and belatacept (Nulojix®), can make these kidney transplant candidates less sensitized, and make it easier and quicker to find a kidney donor for them.

Anti-rejection medicines, also known as immunosuppressive drugs, are prescribed to organ transplant recipients to prevent rejection of the new organ. Long-term use of these medicines places transplant recipients at higher risk of serious infections and certain types of cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if: * it is safe to give mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to kidney transplant recipients, and * the combination of the immunosuppressive (anti-rejection) study drugs plus the MSCs can allow a kidney transplant recipient to slowly reduce and/or then completely stop all anti-rejection drugs, without rejection of their kidney (renal) allograft, a process called "immunosuppression withdrawal".

The goal of this pragmatic embedded open-label, 2 x 2 factorial phase II randomized controlled trial is to evaluate strategies to improve COVID-19 booster and influenza vaccine immunogenicity in people living with immunocompromising conditions (PLIC). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is co-administration of seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) with the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster dose non-inferior in inducing a 1-month peak protective humoral response against COVID-19, compared to a strategy of sequential administration of COVID-19 booster dose followed by seasonal IIV given one month later? 2. Is the administration of the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster doses at 3-month intervals superior at maintaining a longer term protective humoral immune response, compared to booster doses administered at 6-month intervals? Researchers will compare (1) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (2) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (3) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval, and (4) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval to see if median neutralization capacity of patient sera is non-inferior in the co- vs. sequential administration arms at 1-month after the initial COVID-19 booster and superior in the 3-month interval arms vs. the 6-month interval arms at 12 months after the initial COVID-19 booster. These outcomes will also be compared at 2-months for question 1 and 6-months for question 2. People living with immunocompromising conditions who take part in the trial will have blood samples drawn to verify immune response, be monitored for changes in clinical events and therapies, and complete questionnaires to verify adverse effects, quality of life and economic impact.

Why Other Patients Applied

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

FF
ADHD PatientAge: 31

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Kidney Transplant Recipients clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Kidney Transplant Recipients clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Kidney Transplant Recipients trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Kidney Transplant Recipients is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Kidney Transplant Recipients medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Kidney Transplant Recipients clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Semaglutide for Post-Transplant Diabetes, Sip-Tego Regimen for Kidney Failure and Extended-Release Tacrolimus for Kidney Transplant Recipients to the Power online platform.
