Official title
Safety and Efficacy of Mycophenolic Acid Withdrawal With Conversion to Zortress (Everolimus) in Renal Transplant Recipients With BK Virus Infection
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is examining the safety and efficacy of converting anti-rejection therapy from mycophenolic acid (MPA) to Zortress (everolimus) in renal transplant recipients with BK virus infection. The study will also determine if immune monitoring tests can detect an association between BK virus infection and transplant rejection episodes, based on the specific BKV infection treatment regimen. The investigators hypothesize that an anti-rejection regimen with Zortress (everolimus) and tacrolimus + prednisone will be superior to a standard regimen of reduced dose MPA and tacrolimus + prednisone in patients who have undergone renal transplantation and have active BKV infections.
