Effect of Erythropoietin on Renal Function After Kidney Transplantation
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Recombinant erythropoietin alpha (rHuEPO alpha) and Placebo for Kidney Transplantation. Completed, enrolled 88 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The hematopoetic cytokine erythropoietin (EPO) has been shown to reduce programmed cell death and tissue destruction in experimental models of acute kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury. Thus, treatment with high dose recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) may prevent kidney tissue damage and loss of renal function after successful kidney transplantation in humans.
