A Study to Learn How Safe and Tolerable Vonsetamig is in Adult Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Who Need Kidney Transplantation and Are Highly Sensitized to Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)

Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether vonsetamig will safely decrease anti-HLA antibodies to allow for kidney transplantation. Vonsetamig is being studied for treatment of patients in need of kidney transplantation who are highly sensitized to HLA. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * Side effects that may be experienced from taking vonsetamig * How vonsetamig works in the body * How much vonsetamig is present in the blood * If vonsetamig works to lower levels of antibodies to HLA

Conditions

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.
