BK Virus clinical trials at UCLA
4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
AntiBKV as Treatment of BKV Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AntiBKV in reducing BK viremia and progression to biopsy-confirmed BKVAN in Kidney Transplant Recipients (KTRs). The study includes two parts. The phase II part will evaluate the safety of AntiBKV in KTRs and establish proof of concept. The phase III part will assess the efficacy of AntiBKV in KTRs. For both the phase II and phase III parts, participants will be randomized to receive either four doses of AntiBKV or four doses of placebo (every 4 weeks). Both the phase II and phase III parts will follow identical study assessments and schedules for participants. Based on an interim analysis after phase II total sample size for the trial will be defined. Eligible participants will receive an intravenous infusion of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) that will be administered four times at a 4-week interval. Seven days following the first IMP administration, participants will be re-evaluated for BK viremia and, if appropriate, changes of immunosuppressive treatment will be started. After administration of the final dose, participants will return as out participants for periodic safety, BK viremia, and PK follow-up assessments until the end of the trial visits, 26 weeks post last IMP application. Regular kidney biopsies will be performed at baseline (prior to infusion) and on Day 141 (8 weeks after full dosing). An additional biopsy will be taken on Day 267 (optional) and as clinically indicated.

Posoleucel (ALVR105,Viralym-M) for Multi-Virus Prevention in Patients Post-Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
open to all eligible people
This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate posoleucel (ALVR105, Viralym-M); an allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus specific T cell therapy that targets six viral pathogens: BK virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 6 and JC virus.
