Curcumin in Kidney Transplant Recipients
United States14 participantsStarted 2019-11-01
Plain-language summary
The primary goal of this study is to investigate if curcumin is beneficial for kidney transplant recipients, a population with extensive baseline vascular dysfunction and cognitive impairment who have few treatment options. The possible mechanisms by which curcumin improves vascular function will be evaluated as well as whether curcumin improves cognitive function in these patients.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is testing curcumin in kidney transplant recipients — could curcumin interact with my immunosuppressant medications, and is that something my transplant team has concerns about?
2The trial is measuring inflammation, oxidative stress, cognitive function, and pain alongside graft outcomes — does my current post-transplant situation suggest I might especially benefit from targeting those specific issues, or are there standard treatments that already address them?
3Since this study is listed as 'active, not recruiting,' enrollment is closed — are there similar studies looking at curcumin or other anti-inflammatory supplements after kidney transplant that I could still join?
4This trial is listed as Phase NA, which means it may be a small or early-stage study with limited safety and effectiveness data — given that, how much do we actually know about whether curcumin is safe for someone on the immunosuppression regimen I'm on?
5Graft outcomes are a primary measurement in this trial — based on how my transplant is doing right now, would participating in a study like this be appropriate, or could any aspect of it put my kidney function at risk?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
