Trial summary

Rejection and infection are primary causes of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. Current clinical practice relies on immunosuppressive drug levels measured in plasma to reflect the peripheral immune response in solid organ transplant recipients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Peripheral Immunologic Response of Solid Organ Transplant Recipients to Depletion vs. Non-depletion Protocols

Rejection and infection are primary causes of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. Current clinical practice relies on immunosuppressive drug levels measured in plasma to reflect the peripheral immune response in solid organ transplant recipients. Direct measurement of the number and functions of the immune cells themselves using multi-parameter flow cytometry may enable individualized immunosuppression management for organ transplant recipients. Multi-parameter flow cytometry will be used to compare levels and functional capabilities of multiple lymphocyte subsets between cohorts of patients receiving depletion induction and those receiving a non-depletion regimen. The activation state, cytotoxic potential and the functional capabilities of these cells will be examined within patients over the first six months post transplant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Disease and Liver Transplantation, run by University of Washington at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Mar 2011.
