Long-term outcomes for highly sensitized kidney transplant patients after desensitization treatment

A Prospective, Long-term Confirmatory Follow up Trial in Highly Sensitized Patients Treated With Imlifidase or Standard of Care in the ConfIdeS (20-HMedIdeS-17) Trial

Hansa Biopharma AB · NCT05714514

This study looks at how well kidney transplants work and how long patients live after receiving a special treatment to reduce their immune system's reaction before the transplant.

What this trial studies

This observational follow-up study aims to assess long-term patient survival and kidney graft function in highly sensitized patients who underwent desensitization with imlifidase or standard of care prior to kidney transplantation. Participants will be monitored for up to five years after their initial treatment in the ConfIdeS study. The study will evaluate various outcomes, including patient survival, wait-list status, graft survival, kidney function, and health-related quality of life during routine follow-up visits. The goal is to gather comprehensive data on the effectiveness of desensitization strategies in this challenging patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are highly sensitized patients who have previously participated in the ConfIdeS clinical trial.

Not a fit: Patients who are not highly sensitized or who have not participated in the ConfIdeS study may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve survival rates and quality of life for highly sensitized patients awaiting kidney transplantation.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in desensitization approaches for kidney transplantation, indicating potential for success in this area.
