Phase 1
Polyomavirus BK nephropathy after renal transplantation: Randomized clinical trial to demonstrate that switching to mTOR inhibitor is more effective than a reduction of immunosuppressive therapy - POLYOMA STUDYPolyoma BK-virus nephropathy is a viral complication after renal transplantation attacking up to 10% of renal transplants and causing transplant failure in 45% of cases. No virustatic treatment exists. Modifying the infection is usually tried by lowering immunosuppression, which may lead to transplant failure by rejection as well. A randomized switch of immunosuppression to everolimus vs general lowering of immunosuppression has to be tested (prospect. random. parallel group comparison).
