Immunosuppression's Long Term Impact on Anti-tumoral Oversight in Kidney Transplantation

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Kidney Transplant; Complications

• Registration Number: NCT03227965
• Lead Sponsor: Poitiers University Hospital

Brief Summary

Cancer is a well known complication about long term transplantation. Cancer outcomes are due to the immunosuppressive treatment that prevents transplanted people from rejection. By lowering the effectiveness of the immune system, immune cells are no longer able to seek and destroy cancer cells.

The goal here is to study immunes cells population of people that were transplanted 10 years ago and are now treated either by a corticosteroid - azathioprine association, or only by cyclosporine A.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Immune cells study	12 months	Study 2 types of T lymphocytes (by flow cytometry) that are suspected to be responsible of the graft non rejection and the cancer outcome, treated by corticosteroid - azathioprine association or cyclosporine A

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
cancer incidence	12 months	Assess cancer incidence, on a population of people with kidney transplantation (since 10 years) : observation of adverse events during visits
bacteria study	12 months	Study the modification of the intestinal bacteria population that might led to an "operational tolerance", depending on the immunosuppressive treatment : the DNA will be extracted from the faeces and a typing will be carried out by Polymerase Chain Reaction
