What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating how the gut microbiota and bacterial DNA signatures in the blood or stool may be linked to acute rejection in patients who have received a kidney transplant and are treated with Nulojix. The study focuses on patients during the first year after transplantation to better understand factors that could influence transplant rejection. Participants receive standard care that includes induction therapy with Simulect and maintenance therapy with Nulojix, mycophenolic acid, and steroids throughout the first year following their kidney transplant. The study closely monitors these patients to analyze their gut and blood bacterial profiles and immune cell characteristics. Throughout the study, patients will have their gut and circulating microbiota analyzed along with the phenotype of their T lymphocytes. Researchers will correlate these data with rates of acute rejection and measure kidney function using glomerular filtration rate. The study follows participants for one year or until rejection occurs to assess these outcomes under regular monitoring.

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Monitoring
