The Effects of Vonoprazan Fumarate on DGF Incidence in DD Kidney Transplant Recipients

This is an exploratory, multicenter, single-arm study designed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative Vonoprazan Fumarate in reducing the incidence of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) in deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients. DGF is a common early complication that significantly impacts graft function and long-term transplant survival. This study aims to explore how Vonoprazan Fumarate, a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), can potentially improve macrophage phagocytic function, reduce kidney inflammation, and enhance early kidney function recovery. Patients aged 18 years and older who are undergoing first-time deceased-donor kidney transplantation will be enrolled. Vonoprazan Fumarate will be administered daily starting on the day of transplantation and continuing for seven days post-surgery. The primary endpoint is DGF incidence, while secondary endpoints include kidney function recovery, serum creatinine reduction, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and safety assessments. Adverse events will be monitored, and the study will also explore potential biomarkers for inflammation and graft function. The study is expected to provide insights into a potential new therapeutic strategy to reduce DGF and improve early kidney transplant outcomes, potentially benefiting future kidney transplant patients by offering a safer and more effective perioperative treatment option.
