Studies recruiting patients with Kidney Transplant
A Trial of Transplanting Hepatitis C Kidneys Into Hepatitis C-Negative Kidney Recipients (THINKER-NEXT Trial)
THINKER-NEXT study will include adult kidney transplant candidates without hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on the transplant waiting list who will consent to kidney transplantation from a deceased donor infected with HCV, followed by treatment with a direct acting antiviral.

HOPE in Action Prospective Multicenter, Clinical Trial of Deceased HIVD+ Kidney Transplants for HIV+ Recipients
The primary objective of this study is to determine if an HIV-infected deceased kidney donor (HIVD+) transplant is safe with regards to major transplant-related and HIV-related complications.
A Dose Escalation Study in de Novo Renal Transplantation
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of TCD601 when compared to rATG in de novo renal transplant patients.
Renal Allograft Tolerance Through Mixed Chimerism - SMC/MGH
The goal is to investigate the safety of the conditioning regimen, and its ability to induce donor/recipient lymphohematopoietic chimerism without Chimerism Transition Syndrome (CTS), which may result in donor-specific unresponsiveness (tolerance) to the renal allograft in the absence of maintenance immunosuppression.
Clazakizumab for the Treatment of Chronic Active Antibody Mediated Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients (IMAGINE)
This trial investigates the efficacy and safety of clazakizumab [an anti-interleukin (IL)-6 monoclonal antibody (mAb)] for the treatment of CABMR in recipients of a kidney transplant.
A Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy Study of MAU868 for the Treatment of BK Viremia in Kidney Transplant Recipients
This clinical research study will test the safety and efficacy of the investigational medication MAU868, compared to a placebo, in patients who have had a kidney transplant who have active BK virus.
Lipid Management in Renal Transplant Recipients Using Evolocumab
Through this study, we would like to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Evolocumab (trade name: Repatha) which is a PCSK-9 inhibitor developed by Amgen, Inc in renal transplant recipients. The study would involve a total of 120 patients across 3 different hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts..
​An Efficacy and Safety Study of Imlifidase in Treatment of Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Kidney Transplant Patients
This clinical trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of Imlifidase (an IgG degrading protease) for the elimination of donor specific Anti-HLA antibodies and treatment of active antibody mediated rejection in kidney transplant recipients.

Study of Posoleucel (Formerly Known as ALVR105; Viralym-M) in Kidney Transplant Patients With BK Viremia
Phase 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dosing interval, 2-period study of the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of adoptively transferred posoleucel (ALVR105) multivirus-specific T cells in kidney transplant recipients with either high or low levels of BK viremia.

Lipid Management in Renal Transplant Recipients Using Evolocumab
This clinical study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of Evolocumab (Repatha®), a PCSK9 inhibitor, for the reduction of LDL cholesterol in kidney transplant recipients.

Sotagliflozin Safety and Tolerability Among Renal Transplant Recipients (START)
This is an investigator-initiated, randomized controlled trial in adult kidney transplant recipients (N=50) with stable allograft function to assess: 1) the reversibility of the expected acute changes in eGFR with sotagliflozin (donated by Lexicon); 2) proportion of patients completing the protocol according to different eGFR reporting strategies (using a predefined algorithm to manage the expected pharmacological effect of sotagliflozin on eGFR); 3) safety and tolerability of sotagliflozin.
