Summary: BEAT-BK will see the effect of immunosuppression reduction/modification with and without IVIG on BKPyV infection, allograft function, allograft loss, acute transplant rejection, immunosuppression load and death in kidney and simultaneous kidney pancreas transplant recipients with polyomavirus infections (BKPyV).

Summary: This is a Phase II/III, Single-center, Prospective, Open-label, Single Arm Study of 20 Simultaneous Kidney Pancreas recipients who received a transplant at least 3 months, but no more than 5 years prior, with a history of tremors following transplantation.

Summary: The hypothesis is that humoral and cellular islet-specific responses are an early risk factor for recurrence of autoimmunity and hyperglycemia in simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) recipients independent of alloimmunity. This study will test the hypothesis and will assess their individual and combined predictive value.

Summary: Pancreas transplantation is currently the most reliable method for glycemic control in insulin dependent diabetic patients. Outcomes of pancreas transplantation have improved significantly over the years due to improved surgical techniques, medical management and immunosuppression. However, weight gain after pancreas transplantation remains a common problem with associated consequences such as dev...

Summary: This is a non-randomized, non-interventional, prospective pilot cohort study to monitor SPK patients post-transplant to determine if non-invasive measures using dd-cfDNA (Allosure) and AlloMap can assess an array of immune panels to predict and confirm the development of allograft injury and rejection in either organ. Aims of the study 1. To develop and validate AlloSure and AlloMap in SPK transpl...

Summary: To study the effects of organ transplantation and immunosuppression on the human microbiome, and to understand the interlinkage of changes in the microbiome with clinical events surrounding transplantation, and graft and patient clinical outcomes.
