Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All ABMR cases in patients who received a kidney transplant between 01.01.2008 - 31.12.2016 will be pre-screened. As an approximate number of 90 kidney transplantations are performed per year at the University Hospital of Zürich, a total of approximately 810 patients will be available for analysis. Yet, according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria we estimate roughly 50 patients to be finally recruited for analysis. Since we estimate a consent rate of about 50%, we will roughly contact 100 patients. A subset of 25 responders and 25 non-responders according to the clinical course will be identified for further analysis

Who may be able to join

  • Kidney transplant patients at the University Hospital of Zurich between 01.01.2008 - 31.12.2016 with histologically suspected or confirmed ABMR
  • Written consent for further use of data for research purposes

Who cannot join

  • Age at transplantation < 18 years
  • Combined organ transplantation (incl. Kidney-Pancreas, Kidney-Liver, Kidney-Heart)
  • Incomplete laboratory and/or clinical data
  • Recurrence of the initial disease
  • Insufficient Biopsy Material for NanoString Analysis
  • Documented refusal of further data analysis for research purpose

About this study

Official title: Transcriptome Analysis of Stored Biopsy Samples in Clinically Precisely Phenotyped Therapy-responders Versus Non-responders Diagnosed With Antibody Mediated Rejection

In adult kidney transplant recipients a therapy-responder and non-responder phenotype by antibody mediated rejection will be precisely defined according to clinical and histological characteristics such as creatinine, proteinuria and Banff-classification. Twenty-five patients will be selected each in the therapy-responder and non-responder group. Their stored Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) biopsies will be (re)-classified according to the most recent Banff classification. Using Nanostring Technology the gene transcription of therapy-responders versus non-responders will be analyzed and compared to serological and clinical parameters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Antibody-mediated Rejection, run by Thomas Mueller.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Thomas F. Mueller, Prof. (044 255 27 75 ext. 0041, thomas.mueller@usz.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Transcriptome (time frame: 02.15.2018-03.01.2018). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03430414, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2018.
