A Study to Evaluate Alloantibody Titer in Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Candidates

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of using anti-HLA antibody titer to measure the effectiveness of antibody lowering therapy (i.e., desensitization) in highly-sensitized kidney transplant candidates.

 

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Kidney and/or pancreas transplant candidates with calculated panel reactive antibodies > 99% (this is a measure of sensitization, not age).

Exclusion Criteria: 

  • Receipt of a blood transfusion, transplant, or transplant nephrectomy within the 6-9 month follow-up between sample collection.
