Introduction
Elevated panel reactive antibody (PRA) levels have been traditionally
associated with increased time on transplant wait lists, delayed graft function
(DGF), acute rejection rate, and decreased long-term graft survival.1-4 Materials and Methods
Objective: Determine patient and allograft outcomes in sensitized kidney • Study design: Prospective, risk-stratified, randomized study to evaluate
transplant recipients with advanced HLA antibody detection and stringent the safety and efficacy of rATG versus interleukin 2 receptor antagonist
protein sequence epitope analyses. in combination with maintenance immunossupression in adult kidney
transplant recipients.
• Inclusion criteria: All patients between the ages of 18 and 75 years undergoing kidney transplant were eligible for enrollment.
• Exclusion criteria: Patients had received an organ other than a kidney, had a positive crossmatch, were recipients of HLA-identical living donors, were recipients of
an ABO-incompatible donor kidney, had received a multiorgan transplant, were themselves or received an organ from a donor known seropositive HIV, HBV or HCV.
• Clinical Analyses: Panel reactive antibody screening - FlowPRA (One Lambda); HLA antibody assays (Luminex, One Lambda); Flow cytometry crossmatch.
• Efficacy endpoints: The primary treatment efficacy was defined as the incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection at 1 year after transplant.
• Safety endpoints: Incidence of posttransplant infection (CMV, BK virus), significant bacterial infection. Protocol biopsies if the patient experienced DGF.
• Induction therapy: rATG (Thymoglobulin) or interleukin 2 receptor antagonist (basiliximab).
• Maintenance immunosuppression: Mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept), tacrolimus (Prograf) and prednisone.
