Trial summary

Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is one of the leading causes of graft loss in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Although it is a well characterized entity, there is limited data regarding effective treatment options for preserving graft functions. Moreover, results from different studies have been contradictory. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of A Standardized Treatment Approach Comprising Plasma Exchange, Intravenous Immunoglobulin and Rituximab on Kidney Transplant Recipients With Acute or Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection

Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is one of the leading causes of graft loss in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Although it is a well characterized entity, there is limited data regarding effective treatment options for preserving graft functions. Moreover, results from different studies have been contradictory. Therefore, we conducted a study using our registry data to evaluate the effects of a standardized treatment approach consisting of therapeutic plasma exchange (regular plasmapheresis, double filtration plasmapheresis or immunoadsorption), intravenous immunoglobulin and rituximab on KTRs with acute or chronic ABMR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Antibody-mediated Rejection and Kidney Transplant Rejection, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Graft Loss (time frame: 2-5 years). 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 NCT04367610, 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 18 May 2021.
