XM-One Study for Living Donor Program
- Conditions
- Transplant; Failure, Kidney
- Registration Number
- NCT01679184
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Miami
- Brief Summary
Donor-Specific Antibody (DSA) (HLA) levels and non-HLA antibody levels in recipients prior to living kidney transplantation and randomize these individuals into a desensitization protocol in order to evaluate shifts that can occur with the Luminex and XM-One assay after treatment and up to 6 months post transplant.
If desensitization is needed prior to transplantation in individuals with a negative crossmatch but positive DSA and/or XM-one - patients will be evaluated clinically with routine lab tests (serum creatinine levels, spot urine protein and spot urine creatinine levels) as well as protocol biopsy evaluations.
- Detailed Description
1. Rates of acute rejection including subclinical rejection - acute T cell mediated (cellular) rejection, antibody mediated acute rejection, and chronic antibody-associated injury (i.e.: Transplant Glomerulopathy, Chronic allograft arteriopathy) between the groups.
2. Evaluation of endothelial cell activation and injury on biopsies by checking markers for endothelial cell activation and injury (intercellular adhesion molecule-1, ICAM-1/CD54; vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, VCAM-1/CD106; and E-selectin, ELAM-1/CD62E) in two-color stains of tissue with classical endothelial markers (CD34 and Factor VIII).
3. Measurement of serum/plasma levels of TNF-alpha and VEGF and decreased levels of protein C and protein S in the circulation, as an assessment of graft vascular perturbation.
4. Circulating Endothelial Cells (CECs) will be measured by flow cytometry with markers for endothelial cell activation.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method DSA 1 year To evaluate Donor-Specific Antibody (DSA) (HLA) levels with Luminex testing and non-HLA antibody levels using XM-One assay in recipients before and after transplantation for up to 6 months as well as in those recipients undergoing desensitization treatment.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method DSA 1 year Rates of acute rejection including subclinical rejection - acute T cell mediated (cellular) rejection, antibody mediated acute rejection, and chronic antibody-associated injury (i.e.: Transplant Glomerulopathy, Chronic allograft arteriopathy) between the groups.
Determine role of desensitization prior to transplantation in individuals with a negative crossmatch but positive DSA and/or XM-one - based on Luminex and XM-One testing. Patients will be evaluated clinically with routine lab tests (serum creatinine levels, spot urine protein and spot urine creatinine levels) as well as protocol biopsy evaluations.
