Study Population: Patients Inclusion criteria: Adult patients who experienced delayed graft function after a deceased donor kidney transplant in the last 2 calendar years
Exclusion criteria: Patients younger than 18 years old at the time of transplant; patients who experienced graft loss prior to discharge from their index hospitalization patients who receive outpatient dialysis at a center that does not utilize TxAccess (intervention period)
Study Population: Clinicians Inclusion criteria: adult clinicians who participate in care of kidney transplant recipients, including surgeons, nephrologists, pharmacists, social workers, nurse coordinators, advanced practice providers, nurses, case managers and dialysis center clinicians and staff.
Exclusion criteria: clinicians and staff who are not employed at participating centers or do not have direct patient contact or experience with care coordination
About this study
This is a prospective multicenter nonrandomized pragmatic hybrid effectiveness-implementation study to test the effectiveness of TxAccess in improving time to renal recovery and immunologic outcomes in patients with delayed graft function (DGF) and to assess barriers and facilitators to implementation of TxAccess in the post-transplant care period. Research blood will be collected for donor-derived cell-free DNA testing, and patient questionnaires will be administered.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing TxAccess and Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in people with Delayed Graft Function, run by Duke University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Delayed Graft Function (DGF) severity, defined as time to freedom from dialysis (time frame: through 90 days post-transplant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2026.
