NCT ID: NCT03705091 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Diseases

MRI in Renal Transplantation

TransRASL
Start date: April 11, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Renal transplantation is the optimal method of treatment for end stage kidney disease however median lifespan of a kidney transplant is around 15 years. Existing methods of measuring transplant function and structure from blood and urine markers are imperfect; renal biopsy is often performed but is invasive. Novel methods of investigating transplant function are therefore required and emerging renal MRI sequences including ASL and diffusion weighted imaging may yield helpful biomarkers. Investigators will recruit 20 patients in the first year after transplant and measure MRI biomarkers at three time points, with correlation to existing methods of measuring transplant function.

NCT ID: NCT03646344 Terminated - Clinical trials for Renal Transplant Rejection

Heme Arginate in Transplantation Study

HOT2
Start date: March 12, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Organ shortage for transplant has necessitated use of kidneys from older donors, increasing the chance that the kidney will not work immediately or for as long as expected. The investigators gave the drug heme arginate (HA) to 20 kidney transplant patients in the first 24 hours after transplant, and showed that it may reduce kidney injury and is safe. The investigators plan to conduct a large study recruiting 600 patients to determine whether HA treatment increases the number of kidney transplants that work immediately. If successful, HA may be introduced into clinical practice at the end of this study. Patients will be invited to take part in the study once listed for a kidney transplant. Further discussions will be had with them when admitted for transplant, and they will be offered the opportunity to participate. Consent will not be taken until the patient is admitted for transplantation. Following consent, participants will be randomised to receive either 2 doses of the study drug, HA, or a salt water solution, one at the time of transplant, and one approximately 24 hours later. Otherwise, treatment will be the same as any other patient undergoing a kidney transplant. Information about recovery from surgery, and specifically about kidney function, will be collected, but will not require additional blood tests. The study period ends after the first 7 days post-transplant, although longer term data will be collected from routine follow up appointments. Participants will be asked to complete a simple quality of life questionnaire 3 times: just before transplant, at approximately one week and three months after transplant.

NCT ID: NCT03512431 Completed - Clinical trials for Renal Transplant Rejection

Dose Adjustment of Tacrolimus Based on Home Sampling in Renal Transplant Recipients

TacDrop
Start date: April 4, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Repeated 12-hour pharmacokinetic (PK) investigations in renal transplant recipients for parallel sampling of standard venous bloods samples and finger prick micro samples (Mitra tips). Primary aim to validate the micro sampling tacrolimus concentrations against venous blood concentrations.

NCT ID: NCT03511560 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Renal Transplant Rejection

Envarsus on the Effect of Total Tacrolimus Dose/Trough Level Ratio on Renal Function (eGFR) in Kidney Transplantation

Start date: July 26, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is a one year, prospective, randomized, open-label trial examining once versus twice daily tacrolimus dosing regimen using two preparations, extended-release Tacrolimus (Envarsus XR) versus twice daily Tacrolimus (Prograf). It will examine kidney function between the two groups using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and also examine one-year kidney outcomes, including graft loss and patient death. Patients will be followed for up to 1 year during the open-label study period.

NCT ID: NCT03422224 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Renal Transplant Rejection

ALLoreactive T-Cell receptOr RePertoire in kidnEy tranSplantation

ALL-T-COPIES
Start date: July 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In this study, the investigators will establish a workflow to generate unique patterns of the donor-reactive T cell repertoire using mixed lymphocyte reactions to select alloreactive T cell clones prior to transplantation Tissue infiltrating as well as blood bound T cells will be characterized based on: 1. Identification of donor-specific T cell receptor sequences pre- and post-transplant by in vitro expansion to determine unique patterns 2. Quantification and comparison of donor-specific T cell clones in kidney biopsy and blood samples. 3. Analysis of the TCR repertoire diversities derived from kidney biopsy and blood samples and association of repertoire diversities with the histomorphological phenotype of T cell mediated rejection. 4. Identification of T cell subtypes within the donor-reactive population. The investigators specifically hypothesize that highly expanded donor-reactive T cell clones in both kidney tissue and blood samples at time of indication biopsy are associated with the histological phenotype of acute T cell mediated rejection. The investigators have previously shown that there is a strong correlation between highly expanded tissue-resident T cell clones and the repertoire found in periphery blood samples. To trace and quantify donor reactive T cells the investigators will apply a truly quantitative approach for immune repertoire profiling based on high- throughput sequencing. The investigators ultimate goal is to develop a diagnostic tool to assess alloreactive cellular immunoresponses based on peripheral blood samples.

NCT ID: NCT03192007 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Renal Transplant Rejection

Multi-Parametric MRI for Renal Transplantation

Start date: July 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goals of this study are: - To optimize and evaluate multiple kidney MRI methods; and - To investigate the potential of MRI in the assessment of transplant kidney functions; To achieve these goals, we will perform pilot MRI studies with kidney transplant patients. We will study if MRI can reflect different levels of kidney function. The investigators will also evaluate if MRI can differentiate causes for declining kidney function. Finally, the investigators will explore how MRI measures changes before and after medical treatment for worsening kidney function. You may be invited for MRI exams with different exam options. An MRI exam may use either of two types of MRI machines at the center for magnetic resonance research (CMRR): the 3 Tesla (3T) scanner and the 7 Tesla (7T) scanner. You may also be invited for a multi-session exam. A description of the MRI exam types with different exam options and the types of multi-session exams is provided later in this document.

NCT ID: NCT03140514 Completed - Clinical trials for Renal Transplant Rejection

Urine CXCL10 Chemokine Monitoring Post-renal Transplant

Start date: September 28, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this study investigators will investigate whether early treatment of allograft rejection, as detected by urine CXCL10-monitoring, improves outcomes in renal allograft recipients.

NCT ID: NCT02866682 Completed - Clinical trials for Renal Transplant Rejection

Prospective Study Comparing Brand and Generic Immunosuppression on Transplant Outcomes, Adherence, & Immune Response in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Start date: March 1, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

As the patents for brand-name immunosuppressive medications expire, there is increasing interest in using generic immunosuppressive drugs. However, despite pharmacokinetic studies showing bioequivalence, questions remain regarding the clinical impact of use of generic immunosuppression. The most important immunosuppressive agent in the modern transplant era is arguably tacrolimus, a calcineurin-inhibitor with a narrow therapeutic index. This study seeks to answer the question regarding the clinical impact of generic tacrolimus use as measured primarily by acute rejection, loss of graft function, and patient death through a randomized trial of 2 phases: Brand tacrolimus only, and Generic A tacrolimus only. Given that kidney transplantations are the most commonly performed transplants with well-defined measures of rejection and graft failure, this organs will be studied in a six-center study designed to accrue the target number of transplant recipients within the one-year study period. The study has now been branched off into 2 phases. Phase 1: consists of randomization of patients onto brand and generic tacrolimus. This was completed once 40 brand patients were enrolled. Phase 2: consists of patients being enrolled only on generic tacrolimus (standard of care from subject's insurance). This will be completed once there is a total of 160 generic participants. 200 participants total in the study.

Testing Immunosuppression Threshold in Renal Allografts To Extend eGFR

TITRATE
Start date: September 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study evaluates the addition of "Kidney Solid Organ Rejection Test" (kSORT), in the clinical follow-up of renal transplant recipients, compared to clinical standard surveillance in the first two years after kidney transplantation. The design of the study is a partially blinded, randomized control trial of patients with living and deceased donor. The recruitment will be in a third level attention hospital in Mexico city (Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán). The main outcomes are the rate and grade of acute rejection, histologic chronic index of the one year protocol biopsy and glomerular filtration rate.
