Filter by:Long-term allograft function in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) remain suboptimal, and graft failure causes significant morbidity and mortality, with cardiovascular disease being the leading cause of death in KTRs and the most common cause of death with a functioning graft. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors safely lower cardiovascular and kidney disease risk in the non-transplant population, yet data in KTRs are lacking. This clinical trial seeks to establish the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, for improving cardiovascular and kidney graft function in adult KTRs with type 2 diabetes and post-transplant diabetes, and to leverage innovate translational methods to define the underlying mechanisms of action.
To define the sensibility and the specificity of increased levels of MR-proADM for early, non-invasive, diagnosis of AR and DGF after kidney and liver transplantation creating a predictive model for related complications after kidney and liver transplantation based on the pre-operative and post-operative levels of MR-proADM and by a machine learning process.
This study will evaluate the long term safety and efficacy of AT-1501 (tegoprubart) compared with tacrolimus in patients undergoing kidney transplantation.
This observational study aims to analyze the results of comprehensive geriatric assessment and to monitor the development of functional status in geriatric kidney transplant candidates and recipients.
Prospective, follow-up study of kidney transplant recipients treated with alemtuzumab anti-rejection therapy for severe or glucocorticoid-resistant kidney transplant rejection.
This EmLina Renal trial is an investigator initiated, single-center, prospective, open-label, randomized clinical study to examine the safety and effect of empagliflozin 25 mg once a day vs. linagliptin 5 mg once a day for 12 months on glycemic outcomes, renal outcomes and body composition in renal transplant recipients with diabetes mellitus. Glycemic variables will include fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Renal outcomes will include change in eGFR, spot urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) and spot urine protein-creatinine ratio (UPCR). Body composition variables will include total fat mass, fat percentage, total lean mass, and bone mineral content as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Body composition will also be measured by BIA. The study will be conducted according to the CONSORT guidelines. The patient population for the trial will be derived from Medanta-The Medicity Hospital endocrine and nephrology out-patient clinic. The study will be conducted in Medanta-The Medicity Hospital, Gurugram, Haryana, which is a tertiary care center in North India. Patients deemed eligible will be screened for the trial
In the early postoperative period, hyperglycemia is frequently seen in renal transplant recipients primarily because of high doses of immunosuppressive therapy. Many of these patients have pre-existing type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, 10-20% of renal transplant recipients develop new onset persisting hyperglycemia following renal transplantation, known as posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM). These patients need optimal glycemic control in order to prevent development of cardiovascular and de novo renal disease. Most of these patients receive insulin therapy following transplantation, as they receive steroid therapy and oral hypoglycemic agents are better avoided. However, as steroids are tapered and need for insulin diminishes, several anti-diabetic agents are initiated off-label, such as metformin, DDP-4 inhibitors and sulfonylureas. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exhibit nephroprotective effects in individuals with native kidney disease, with or without type 2 diabetes. However, the data regarding the safety and glycemic efficacy of these glucose-lowering agents in the renal transplant setting are scarce. DPP-4 inhibitors are glucose-lowering agents used in patients with CKD. For instance, linagliptin is used in all eGFRs without dose modification. The data regarding the safety and efficacy of linagliptin are scarce in patients following renal transplantation. Since patients following renal transplantation receive immunosuppressants and steroids, which may affect their body composition. Effect of SGLT2 inhibitors or DPP-4 inhibitors on body composition in patients following renal transplantation is not well established. In this study, we aimed to examine the safety and effect of empagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) versus linagliptin (an DDP-4 inhibitor) on the glycemic outcomes, renal outcomes and body composition in renal transplant recipients with diabetes mellitus.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the efficacy of two most commonly used induction therapy for the prevention of acute rejection (AR) after renal transplantation in children. The main question it aims to answer is: Is basiliximab (anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody) induction therapy effective and safe in preventing AR after kidney transplantation in children compared with anti-thymoglobulin polyclonal antibodies induction therapy? The transplant and follow-up data of participants will be retrospectively collected. Researchers will compare the rate of AR to see if basiliximab (anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody) induction therapy is a better option for certain pediatric kidney transplant recipients.
EFFEKTOR is a vanguard, multicenter, phase 2 randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled clinical trial to determine the feasibility, tolerability, safety, and efficacy of finerenone in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). One hundred fifty (150) KTRs will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio of finerenone to placebo, with two embedded substudies: (i) a kidney biopsy substudy in 50 participants who undergo a research kidney biopsy prior to randomization and at the end of active treatment; and (ii) a functional MRI (fMRI) substudy in 50 participants who undergo fMRI prior to randomization and at the end of active treatment.
This study aims to analyze the effects of AI-based risk prediction for graft loss on the frequency of conversations about the treatment after graft loss, as well as the associated shared decision making process in post-kidney transplant care in a German kidney transplant center (KTC), as perceived by the patient, their support person and the clinician/physician. Second, it aims to explore changes in patient and support person recall at 12 and 24 months follow-up. Implementation barriers and enablers will also be assessed.
