Ravulizumab for Delayed Graft Function After Kidney Transplant

This study is testing a drug called ravulizumab to see if it can help adult kidney transplant patients who are at high risk for Delayed Graft Function (DGF). DGF means the new kidney doesn't work well right away and dialysis might still be needed. You could be eligible if you are 18 or older, have kidney disease requiring dialysis, and are receiving a kidney from a specific type of deceased donor. The study will compare ravulizumab to a placebo (an inactive substance) to see if ravulizumab helps patients get off dialysis sooner after their transplant. The study aims to enroll 450 participants.

Study design
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, meaning neither you nor your doctors will know if you are receiving ravulizumab or a placebo. About 450 participants will be enrolled.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your progress will be followed for up to 90 days after your transplant to see how long it takes to no longer need dialysis.
