The purpose of this study is to see: 1. If using these two drugs (carfilzomib and belatacept) together is safe 2. If the use of these two study drugs in addition to the usual immunosuppression for kidney transplant patients can improve your transplanted kidney function by lowering the antibodies you have against your transplanted kidney 3. If the study drugs effect the immune cells that were responding to your donor kidney. And, whether blood or urine tests can measure signs of inflammation and kidney cell injury 4. If using new computer techniques can help describe important changes seen on biopsy in your donated kidneys The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of carfilzomib and belatacept therapy when added to current treatment with steroids and maintenance immunosuppression, compared to conventional treatment alone, to improve the clinical outcome of renal transplant patients with active and chronic - active ABMR occurring more than 6 months after renal transplantation or less than 6 months post-transplant with persistent refractory Antibody-Mediated Rejection (ABMR)

This trial aims to understand how CBD, a cannabis compound, interacts with tacrolimus, a drug used by organ transplant patients to prevent rejection. Researchers will study these interactions to see if CBD affects the safety and effectiveness of tacrolimus. Tacrolimus is a strong medication used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients, with precise dosing requirements. The goal is to help doctors adjust doses of both substances to improve patient health and long-term treatment success.

Kidney transplantation improves the health and quality of life for those Veterans with end stage kidney disease (ESKD). While early patient and graft survival are excellent, long-term outcomes continue to be challenging. Patient death with existing kidney graft function occurs in about half of all recipients over time. This is primarily due to the development of cardiovascular disease in a patient population with multiple preexisting cardiac disease risk factors. There has been little progress in improving outcomes in this area for over two decades. Recent studies in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients using SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), regardless of the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), results in both kidney protective and cardiac protective impacts and improved patient outcomes. However, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) were excluded from these clinical trials due to concerns that these agents promote infection, diminish graft function, and may alter immunosuppressive drug levels that are the mainstay of patient's transplant therapy. There are limited published data of SGLT2i treatment of selected KTRs.

After a kidney or a simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant, some patients may face problems with their new organs. This happens because the body sometimes makes a mistake and tries to get rid of the organ. This problem is called rejection. One type of rejection is known as Acute T cell mediated rejection (TCMR). This can lead to many problems or even stop the transplant from working. Doctors give strong steroids to treat this problem, but there are no rules for how much steroid to give. Too much steroids can cause problems like heart and bone problems, bad infections, and weight gain. That is why we need to find the right dose of steroids for each person to treat this. TACKLE-IT is a study that will try to find the right steroid dose for treating rejection.

The goal of this multi-national, multi-center, open-label, randomized Phase 2 trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of administering expanded regulatory T cells (TRK-001) to prevent allograft rejection in living donor renal transplant recipients. Enrolled subjects will be randomized to one of 2 study arms: Arm 1 subjects will receive standard of care immunosuppression Arm 2 subjects will receive initial standard of care (SOC) immunosuppression and a single infusion of TRK-001. Three months after the transplant, Arm 2 subjects may be able to begin reducing their immunosuppression medication to a 1-drug regimen. The primary outcome measures of trial are to evaluate several components indicating immunologic problems with the transplanted organ at 1-year post-transplant and to evaluate the ability for the study subjects given TRK-001 to wean to a 1-drug immunosuppression regimen. All enrolled subjects will be followed for 5 years post-transplant.

Many transplant recipients may experience physical and emotional symptoms, such as anxiety, fatigue, sleep problems, pain, etc. Often, these symptoms are not reported or managed well, and can affect a patient's quality-of-life. Transplant recipients are grateful for the "gift of life" but physical and emotional symptoms reduce their quality-of-life. Transplant recipients and caregivers have felt unprepared for the ongoing symptoms and reduced quality-of-life post-transplant. One way of monitoring and managing these symptoms is using the Emotion And Symptom-focused Engagement (EASE) intervention. EASE was originally developed for patients with acute leukemia and has begun to be adapted to help monitor and manage physical and emotional symptoms for organ transplant recipients. EASE is comprised of two components: 1. Psychological - 8 supportive counselling sessions delivered by mental health clinicians to address concerns about mental health, losses from organ failure, coping with a transplant, experiences with living on the brink of death for a prolonged period of time, etc. 2. Physical - Regular assessments of physical symptoms using questionnaires and referral to healthcare professionals for symptom management as necessary. EASE uses questionnaires, also called patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), for symptom assessment and monitoring. PROMs measure symptom severity, similarly to how bloodwork measures organ functioning. PROMs, as part of EASE, will ask recipients questions and help identify relevant physical, emotional, and social symptoms to enhance their care. With the help of specialists, patients, and support from the Kidney Foundation of Canada, our team has begun to adapt the EASE intervention for transplant recipients. In order to finalize the adaptation of the EASE intervention for use in a routine transplant clinic, we are launching a pre-pilot study to gain real-life experience from managing symptoms of SOT recipients with the use of EASE-SOT.

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".

This is an open-label study, where participants will be switched from their current HIV medication to the study drug, Biktarvy. Open-label means both the investigator and the participant will know what drug will be given. Participants will be followed for 48 weeks in order to monitor the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Biktarvy. The investigator hypothesizes that Biktarvy will be an important addition to the management of HIV-positive post renal transplant patients, especially since it is a one pill daily dosing regimen, thereby decreasing the pill burden in this population.

This trial is testing whether infusing special cells called mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) can help kidney transplant patients need fewer strong anti-rejection drugs. The study focuses on people who received a kidney from a living donor. MSCs might help control the immune system to protect the new kidney better. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been studied for their potential to improve kidney transplant outcomes through their immunomodulatory, reparative, and regenerative properties.

Patients who have had a previous allograft failure represent a major problem for transplant centers as they are highly-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) sensitized and unlikely to receive another transplant without significant desensitization. This single center, phase I/II, open label single-arm exploratory study focuses on enrolling twenty patients (ages 15-75) who will begin desensitization therapy to achieve HLA incompatible (HLAi) renal transplantation. Patients who qualify will receive up to 6 doses of clazakizumab 25 mg monthly pre-transplantation. If patients receive an HLAi transplant during the study, the participants will continue to receive another 6 monthly doses of clazakizumab 25 mg, followed by a 6 month protocol biopsy. Patients will continue another 6 doses over 6 months if improvements are seen after the 6th dose of clazakizumab. Patients who develop evidence of persistent allograft dysfunction may have non-protocol biopsies for cause. Patients who receive 12 doses of clazakizumab post-transplant will receive a 12M protocol biopsy.

The purpose of this study is to find out if an investigational treatment will allow kidney transplant recipients to better accept their new kidney and stop immunosuppressive medicines. This study is for kidney transplant recipients who receive a kidney from a sibling donor. The investigational treatment is started after kidney transplant. It begins with a regimen of a drug called rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) combined with radiation therapy (known as total lymphoid irradiation, or TLI) to the lymph nodes and spleen. This is followed by an infusion of blood stem cells, which will be donated by the same sibling who donated their kidney. Researchers think that this treatment allows immune cells from the donor and recipient to live side by side, a condition referred to as "mixed chimerism." Mixed chimerism may help create a state of "tolerance" in kidney transplant recipients in which all immunosuppressive medications can be stopped without rejection of the transplanted kidney. This study will test whether (1) the investigational treatment will allow patients to stop immunosuppressive medications after their kidney transplant and (2) if the treatment impacts the rate of kidney rejection and the side effects of immunosuppressive medications.

Non-adherence with immunosuppressant drugs is a major reason for premature kidney transplant failure. Currently, patient education and compliance aids (e.g bubble packing) are commonly used to assist patients. This is a study involving patients expected to undergo a kidney transplant within 6 months. One group will undergo a one-month formal assessment of adherence before transplantation using mock immunosuppressant medication. Standardized surveys will also be administered to assess risk factors for non-adherence. A plan will be developed for use after the transplant. The other group will undergo usual care. Kidney function and rejection rates will be compared between two groups.

Medications used after transplant to prevent rejection are associated with many side effects. Tacrolimus side effects include kidney dysfunction; tremor, headaches, difficulty sleeping, change in sensation (legs), seizure, or confusion; high blood pressure; anemia, or low blood cell counts; diabetes; abnormal cholesterol and weight gain. The investigators want to use a new, approved, formulation of the standard medication (Envarsus) as they believe it may be associated with reduced side effects. The investigators would like to assess how safe it is to use this medication and how well it works in comparison to currently used formulations. The investigators will study if there are less side effects and will study clinical outcomes (including how well the liver does and if there is need for hospitalizations after transplant). The investigators hope that this information will improve the care provided to and outcomes in patients following liver transplant.

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 Berinert but does not contain any active drug. Placebos are used in research studies to see if the results are due to the study drug or due to other reasons. Neither you or the study doctor can choose or know which group is assigned. The primary objective is to test whether intrarenal artery C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) injection into the donor kidney prior to transplantation improves kidney function in recipients of high risk, deceased donor kidney transplants as measured by 12-month Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CDK-EPI)

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Kidney Transplant Rejection 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 Rejection 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 Rejection 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 Rejection 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 Rejection 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 Rejection clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Personalized Medicine Dosing for Kidney Transplant Rejection, Carfilzomib + Belatacept for Kidney Transplant Rejection and Regulatory T Cell Therapy for Kidney Transplants to the Power online platform.
