Development of a conceptual model of BKV impacts on health-related quality of life in kidney transplant recipients: a qualitative study
BK virus (BKV) is a common latent virus that can reactivate in 8 kidney transplant recipients due to immunosuppressive therapy, potentially 9 leading to graft dysfunction or loss.
First-In-Human, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, SAD and MAD Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and PK/PD Modeling of Potravitug in Healthy Adults
This paper highlights the Phase I clinical data, including safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics, for potravitug, a highly potent human monoclonal antibody targeting BK polyomavirus.
A Highly Potent Human Antibody Neutralizing All Serotypes of BK Polyomavirus
This study describes the discovery and characterization of a highly-potent BK polyomavirus-neutralizing antibody, identified from a kidney transplant recipient who displayed rapid clearance of high-level BKPyV-DNAemia.
Quantification of endogenous and therapeutic IgG crossing the kidney barrier from bloodstream to urine
This study investigates the biodistribution of a therapeutic antibody from serum to urine across the kidney endothelial barrier, contextualizing the findings with existing literature.
Burden of BK Virus Infection and BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Scoping Review Reveals Gaps in Patient-Centered Research
This poster highlights a scoping literature review which aimed to synthesize the current evidence on burden of BKV infection and BKVN in kidney transplant recipients, with a focus on identifying patient-centered research and outcomes.
The Second International Consensus Guidelines on the Management of BK Polyomavirus in Kidney Transplantation
BKV-nephropathy remains a major cause of premature kidney allograft failure, necessitating proactive screening, monitoring, and timely immunosuppression reduction. The updated Second International Consensus Guidelines review significant advances and provide updated recommendations, emphasizing the need for further research and randomized clinical trials.
Advancing Patient-Centered Research: Enabling the Patient Voice to Be Heard
The article discusses the importance of incorporating the patient voice in patient-centered research, particularly in the context of kidney diseases, to improve healthcare outcomes and ensure that patient perspectives and needs are adequately addressed.
BK Virus Infection and BK-Virus-Associated Nephropathy in Renal Transplant Recipients
BK polyomavirus (BKV) is highly infective, often causing asymptomatic infections in childhood and remaining latent in kidney cells. In renal transplant recipients, BKV can reactivate, leading to nephropathy and significant graft loss, with current treatments focusing on reducing immunosuppression and emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and surveillance for better outcomes.
The economic burden of kidney graft failure in the United States
The economic burden of kidney graft failure is significant. Reducing graft failure would improve quality of life, extend patient survival, and result in reduced health care spending.

Fast-Track Discovery of SARS-CoV-2-Neutralizing Antibodies from Human B Cells by Direct Functional Screening
The DROPZYLLA® platform was used in early 2020 to rapidly generate SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies from convalescent COVID-19 donors, yielding neutralizing antibodies within 3-6 weeks. One antibody, MTX-COVAB, showed strong efficacy against all known variants at that time and went into clinical development.
