ddcfDNA in Kidney Transplant Recipients

South Korea200 participantsStarted 2022-12-26

Plain-language summary

The objective of this study is to predict subclinical Antibody-Mediated Rejection (ABMR) occurrences in de novo DSA-positive recipients maintaining stable renal function after transplantation. This will be achieved through the measurement of donor-derived cell-free DNA. The utility of donor-derived cell-free DNA will be validated based on histological findings using Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve analysis.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Recipients aged 18 and above * Patients with de novo DSA positivity post-kidney transplantation and stable renal function: De novo HLA DSAs encompass both class I and class II, with Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) greater than 1000. Stable renal function is defined as serum creatinine variation of less than 15% compared to the last 6 months. * Patients with detected de novo HLA-DSAs but did not undergo histological examinations. Exclusion Criteria: * Multi-organ transplant recipients * Recipients with positive preformed DSAs * ABO-incompatible transplant recipients * Pediatric recipients under 18 years old at the time of transplantation * Recipients lost to follow-up observation * atients already subjected to histological examinations due to positive De novo HLA-DSAs.

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.
