简要总结
The objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of transplanting lungs from hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleic acid test positive (NAT+) donors into HBV vaccinated HBV surface antibody positive (sAb+) lung transplant candidates, who will then be treated with Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (HBIG) and entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil, or tenofovir alafenamide.
详细描述
Despite advances in organ preservation and the use of increasingly sophisticated bridge-to-transplant therapies, there is significant waitlist mortality among lung transplant candidates. Between 2017-2019, 637 patients died while awaiting donor lungs and 403 became too sick for transplant. To increase the pool of available donors, many transplant programs in the United States now accept donors with active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Transplant recipients are then treated with anti-viral therapy in the post-operative period.
Some kidney and lung transplant programs have extended this strategy to include donors with hepatitis B virus (HBV) viremia. Following transplant, recipients are treated with Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (HBIG) and life-long antiviral therapy. Published studies have shown decreased waitlist mortality among kidney recipients who receive HBV nucleic acid test positive (NAT+) organs without adverse impact on allograft or hepatic function. It is unknown, however, whether this can be a safe and effective strategy for lung transplant candidates.
The aim of this phase II clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of accepting lungs from HBV NAT+ donors for HBV vaccinated lung transplant candidates. The study will enroll 10 subjects, who will be treated with HBIG and entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil, or tenofovir alafenamide following transplant. Outcomes will include rates of HBV viremia and time to undetectable viral level; rates of acute HBV-associated hepatitis and persistent HBsAg positivity at one year; and 1-year patient and graft survival.
