Clinical trial of Rituximab for desensitization or antibody mediated rejection therapy in anti-donor HLA antibody positive patients

Basic Information

Recruitment status Complete
Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studiedChronic renal dysfunction or post kidney transplant recipients
Date of first enrollment25/12/2013
Target sample size20
Countries of recruitment
Study typeInterventional
Intervention(s)(Study of desensitization therapy before kidney transplantation) Plasma exchange followed by administration of rituximab (375mg/m2). Check the MFI value of anti-donor antibody. 1.If MFI value is less than 3000, another rituximab(375mg/m2) is given and kidney transplantation is performed. 2.If MFI value is more than 3000, kidney transplantation is not performed. However, another rituximab(375mg/m2) is given and check MFI value 4 weeks later. (Study of rejection therapy after kidney transplantation) Plasma exchange followed by administration of rituximab (375mg/m2). Check the MFI value of anti-donor antibody 24 weeks later. Grafted kidney biopsy is performed 24 weeks later too (The time of biopsy could be changed because of clinical situation).

Outcome(s)

Primary Outcome(Study of desensitization therapy before kidney transplantation) MFI value of anti-donor antibody 2 and 8 weeks after rituximab administration (Study of rejection therapy after kidney transplantation) MFI value of anti-donor antibody 24 weeks after rituximab administration
Secondary Outcome(Study of desensitization therapy before kidney transplantation) 1.Achievement of kidney transplantation and MFI value of anti-donor antibody on the day of transplantation 2.Safety evaluation (Study of rejection therapy after kidney transplantation) 1.Change of serum creatinine and proteinuria level, histological evaluation 2.Safety evaluation
