Prospective Donor Specific T Response Measurment for IS Minimization in de Novo Renal Transplantation

Czechia, France, Germany184 participantsStarted 2015-03

Plain-language summary

The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the utility and safety of the IFN-γ (Interferon Gamma) ELISPOT (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot) marker for the stratification of kidney transplant recipients into low and high IS (Immunosuppression) regimens. The enrichment study will test non-inferiority of low IS regimen compared to high IS regimen, assuming 10% of BPAR at 6-months in the control group, and allowing a non-inferiority limit of maximum 10%.

Inclusion criteria

. Men and women, age ≥18 years.
. Subject must be a recipient of a first renal transplant from a deceased or living donor.
. Subject must have a current documented PRA (Panel of reactive antibodies) \<20% and no detectable anti-class I and II HLA (human leukocyte Antigens) antibodies by solid phase assay (Luminex®).
. Subject is willing to provide signed written informed consent.
. Women of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) must be using a highly effective method of contraception (Pearl-Index \< 1) to avoid pregnancy throughout the study in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal \[defined as amenorrhea ≥ 12 consecutive months; or women on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level \> 35 mIU/mL\]. WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin)) within 72 hours prior to the start of clinical trial.

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?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

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?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
