A Study of Factors That Affect Long-Term Kidney Transplant Function
NCT00270712 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The causes of deterioration of transplanted kidney function are poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to determine the disease processes that cause transplanted kidney dysfunction and loss in patients who received a kidney either recently or over a year prior to entering this study. This study will also identify specific characteristics in kidney transplant recipients that predict whether a kidney transplant will be successful.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00270712
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00270712 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 3,175 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Minnesota, which has 919 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Kidney Transplant appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00270712 reports 7 study locations spanning 5 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Minnesota, Alabama, Iowa. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
