Isatuximab in Lung Transplant Recipients
- Conditions
- Antibody-mediated RejectionAllosensitization
- Interventions
- Procedure: bone marrow biopsy
- Registration Number
- NCT05862766
- Lead Sponsor
- NYU Langone Health
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of adding isatuximab to standard of care therapies in patients who will receive a lung transplant, but have significant antibodies against the donor (desensitization), or patients who have previously received a lung transplant and develop antibodies against the donor (antibody-mediated rejection, AMR). The study will compare the impact of isatuximab on the recurrence of antibodies after they have been removed from the blood by a process known as plasmapheresis that is standard of care for this condition. The use of isatuximab in lung transplant recipients is investigational, meaning it is not Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for use in lung transplant recipients. This study is a pilot study investigating the feasibility and safety of isatuximab in lung transplant patients. Isatuximab is an FDA approved drug indicated for the treatment of multiple myeloma. It may also be useful for transplant recipients with antibodies against the donor because it eliminates the cells that make antibodies.
- Detailed Description
This dual-arm pilot study will enroll approximately 6 patients undergoing lung transplantation at NYU Langone Health who are either receiving peri-transplant desensitization, or who are admitted for treatment of AMR. All patients will be treated with standard-of-care consisting of plasmaspheresis, IVIG, and rituximab. Additionally, the experimental agent, isatuximab, will be added to this treatment protocol. The patients will first receive 4 weekly doses of isatuximab, followed by 4 bi¬-weekly doses (total 8 doses given over 12 weeks). Patients will be followed with standard-of-care immunologic assessment consisting of weekly DSA assessment and flow cytometry crossmatch (only in the desensitization arm). Additionally, patients undergoing peri-transplant desensitization will have a bone marrow biopsy with pathologic examination and cell counts performed at the time of transplant and repeated at the 30-day bronchoscopy to assess for plasma cell elimination.
