Intravenous Immunoglobulins for Prevention of BKV Viremia in Kidney Transplant Recipients According to BKV genotype-specific Neutralizing Antibody Titers at the day of transplantation: A Multicenter Study
EU CTIS ID: 2024-515243-37-00
What this study is testing
The main objective of the study is to investigate the impact of a preventive administration of IVIG on the incidence of BKV viremia (> 3 log10 copies/mL ) in patients with low titers of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against the donor's BKV strain at the time of transplantation.
- Phase III and phase IV (Integrated)
