About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study of Desensitization Protocol for Highly Sensitized Wait Listed Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine whether high dose IVIG and B cell depleting agents can be used effectively in highly sensitized wait-listed patients.

Read the detailed description

HLA sensitization is known to be the most important barrier to deceased donor kidney allocation. Therefore, the investigators need to develop better strategies for managing pre-sensitized patients using desensitization protocol. In this study the investigators will used two kinds of medication for the reduction of circulating antibodies (high dose IVIg, B cell depleting agents) to highly-sensitized patients who are on the waiting list for a deceased donor kidney transplantation. After desensitization, the investigators will check that this treatment can increase their chances of receiving a kidney transplant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing High dose IVIG and B cell depleting agents in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2012. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rates of kidney transplantation (time frame: from one to five years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01502267, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Jan 2012.
