Recurrence Post-transplant Observational Study in Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Minimal Change Disease
United States300 participantsStarted 2022-12-08
Plain-language summary
The morbidity of recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD) after transplant is well-recognized and include contemporary reduction in quality of life, edema, early graft loss and mortality. Efforts to understand its mechanisms and improve its treatment have been limited by small sample sizes in single center studies and misclassification in registry studies. Recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of FSGS in the native kidney has reinvigorated the scientific community to develop a collaborative community to advance research into the epidemiology, mechanisms, interventions, and outcomes.
The purpose of RESOLVE is to gather a group of people with FSGS and MCD that have had or will have a kidney transplant to create a bank of information and biospecimens so researchers can more effectively study these diseases.

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.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

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?
