Conditions

BK Virus Infection

Brief summary

This clinical research study will test the safety and efficacy of the investigational medication MAU868, compared to a placebo, in patients who have had a kidney transplant who have active BK virus.

Interventions

DRUGMAU868

MAU868 is a human monoclonal antibody (IgG1) that binds the viral capsid protein, VP1, that is responsible for binding to the surface of host cells

OTHERPlacebo

250 mL D5W placebo IV to be labeled to match that of MAU868
