This prospective study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as an adjunct to an enhanced recover after surgery (ERAS) protocol in men with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing kidney transplantation. Participants will be highly-listed hypogonadal men, defined as total testosterone level \<300 on two occasions with clinical symptoms of hypogonadism, with ESRD who are expected to receive a kidney transplant within 6 months. Participants will be started on TRT, ideally for at least 3 months prior transplantation. The investigators will perform a subset analysis to evaluate if there is a significant difference in our endpoints by comparing these two subgroups (Three months or more receiving TRT vs. Less than three months receiving TRT). There will be no cut-off time for pre-transplant TRT. Following the intervention period, a historical control cohort of age-matched and health-matched patients will be identified, who have followed a standard transplant protocol that does not incorporate TRT. The primary outcome will evaluate safety, including 30- and 90-day adverse events, 3, 6, and 12-month allograft survival, and overall patient survival. Secondary outcomes will focus on (1) qualitative assessments of symptoms using validated questionnaires, (2) quantitative improvements in the hormonal profile before and after initiation of TRT and surgery, and (3) allograft function and incidence of delayed graft function. The results of this study could provide novel insights into the benefits of TRT in improving surgical outcomes in men with ESRD undergoing kidney transplantation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the GGTA1 KO Thymokidney in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are either not eligible for conventional allogeneic kidney transplantation (Group 1) or are on an Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) kidney transplant waitlist, but are more likely to die or go untransplanted within 5 years than receive a kidney transplant (Group 2). The study consists of xenotransplantation followed by a 24-week Post-transplant Follow-up Period (Part A) to evaluate the efficacy and safety objectives followed by a Long-term Follow-up Period (Part B) to evaluate participant survival, GGTA1 KO Thymokidney survival, and screening for zoonotic infections. Part B will continue for the lifetime of the participant or for 52 weeks following nephrectomy, if required.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sparsentan tablets for the treatment of patients with proteinuria after kidney transplantation with once-daily dosing for 36 weeks.

The primary objective is to investigate the safety and efficacy of TNX-1500, an FC-modified anti-CD154 mAb, in five kidney transplant recipients at 12 months.

The study is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial among patients referred for kidney transplant evaluation at a single transplant center to compare the effects of a digital-analog intervention to increase living-donor kidney transplant access (KidneyTIME+) with or without human guide . Following consent and baseline assessment, participants are randomized, stratified by self-reported race, with equal allocation to 2 treatment arms: the KidneyTIME+ intervention with or without human guide.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether adding belumosudil to a usual approach for reducing the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) may be an effective GVHD prevention approach for people with blood cancer who have a stem cell transplant. The investigators will also look at the safety of the study approach.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of emapalumab with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil in preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after reduced-intensity donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, melphalan, or busulfan, before a donor \[peripheral blood stem cell\] transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When healthy stem cells for a donor are infused into a patient (allogeneic HCT), they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets. Allogeneic HCT is an established treatment, however, GVHD continues to be a major problem of allogeneic HCT that can complicate therapy. GVHD is a disease caused when cells from a donated stem cell graft attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient. Emapalumab binds to an immune system protein called interferon gamma. This may help lower the body's immune response and reduce inflammation. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Tacrolimus is a drug used to help reduce the risk of rejection by the body of organ and bone marrow transplants. Mycophenolate mofetil is a drug used to prevent GVHD after organ transplants. It is also being studied in the prevention of GVHD after stem cell transplants for cancer, and in the treatment of some autoimmune disorders. Mycophenolate mofetil is a type of immunosuppressive agent. Giving emapalumab with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in preventing GVHD in patients with AML or MDS after a reduced-intensity allogeneic HCT.

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)

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of VX-880 in participants with Type 1 Diabetes (TID) with a kidney transplant.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of ravulizumab vs placebo in reducing the severity of DGF as measured by time to freedom from dialysis in adult participants who are at high risk of DGF after undergoing transplant of deceased donor kidney.

The primary goal is to determine if Dipyridamole can improve serum phosphate levels and reduce the need for phosphate supplementation.

This phase II trial studies how well vedolizumab plus post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and short course tacrolimus work for the prevention of graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) after reduced intensity conditioning. Allogeneic HCT is a procedure in which a person receives blood-forming stem cells (cells from which all blood cells develop) from a donor. Giving reduced conditioning chemotherapy before an allogeneic HCT helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new stem cells to grow using less than standard doses of chemotherapy. Sometimes, the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Vedolizumab is a monoclonal antibody, which is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). It may reduce inflammation. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Tacrolimus suppresses the immune system by preventing the activation of certain types of immune cells. Giving vedolizumab plus PTCy and short course tacrolimus may be effective at preventing GVHD after allogeneic HCT.
