Recurrence Post-transplant Observational Study in Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Minimal Change Disease (NCT05650619)

Recurrence Post-transplant Observational Study in Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and Minimal Change Disease (MCD)

🟢 Recruiting Interventional Protocol 📊 Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: University of Michigan

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The morbidity of recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD) after transplant is well-recognized and include contemporary reduction in quality of life, edema, early graft loss and mortality. Efforts to understand its mechanisms and improve its treatment have been limited by small sample sizes in single center studies and misclassification in registry studies. Recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of FSGS in the native kidney has reinvigorated the scientific community to develop a collaborative community to advance research into the epidemiology, mechanisms, interventions, and outcomes. The purpose of RESOLVE is to gather a group of people with FSGS and MCD that have had or will have a kidney transplant to create a bank of information and biospecimens so researchers can more effectively study these diseases.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (2 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (3 items).

Location: University of Michigan — Ann Arbor, Michigan
