Transition of Renal Patients Using AlloSure Into Community Kidney Care
- Conditions
- Kidney Transplant Rejection
- Interventions
- Device: AlloSure
- Registration Number
- NCT04601155
- Lead Sponsor
- CareDx
- Brief Summary
Patients undergoing kidney transplantation alone (either de-novo or re-transplant) at a participating hospital are routinely surveyed with interval blood tests as part of standard post-operative care through outpatient consultation. These tests include serum creatinine, blood sugar as well as DSA testing at various intervals. The ability to screen patients to better identify those who may be at risk of developing an adverse event using AlloSure cfDNA is likely to be advantageous, with the potential to improve graft survival and outcomes for transplant patients. The addition of AlloSure to the interventional group will be the focus of this study. Patients will have quarterly AlloSure cfDNA testing (every 3 months) and DSA as part of their post-transplant surveillance for a period of 5 years.Participants will attend outpatient visits/follow-up visits as part of their standard care, these will include appointments where they will have blood tests taken as part of post-transplant surveillance. For AlloSure cfDNA and DSA, blood will be taken quarterly.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description AlloSure Group AlloSure Patients will have quarterly AlloSure cfDNA testing (every 3 months) and DSA as part of their post-transplant surveillance for a period of 5 years. For the quarterly AlloSure tests, approximately 20 mL of blood will be obtained in Streck Cell-Free DNA BCT tubes and shipped to CareDx, Inc. (Brisbane, CA) to analyze the presence of donor-derived cell-free DNA.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Superior allograft survival 5 years Time to allograft loss, defined as composite of: return to dialysis, re-transplant, death due to allograft failure, and death with functioning allograft.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assessment of kidney function 5 years Relative change in eGFR from baseline in groups monitored using AlloSure compared to matched control group.
Assessment of immunologic status 5 years Proportion of patients with formation of de-novo DSA antibodies in groups monitored using AlloSure compared to matched control group.
