Trial summary

This is an observational multi-center study to determine whether any single immune monitoring test or a combination of tests obtained in the first 6 months after renal transplantation correlates with acute rejection or graft loss in renal allograft recipients receiving commonly used immunosuppressive.

About this study

Official title: Role of CD28null NKG2Dpos T Cells on Human Alloimmune Reactivity: An Untargeted T Cell Population" (# 859869783).

This is an observational multi-center study to determine whether any single immune monitoring test or a combination of tests obtained in the first 6 months after renal transplantation correlates with acute rejection or graft loss in renal allograft recipients receiving commonly used immunosuppressive.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To document the prevalence and frequencies of CD4+ and CD8+ CD28null/NKG2Dpos T cells at the time of transplantation.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. To test whether CD28null/NKG2Dpos T cells have unique rapid activation properties to allogeneic HLA antigens in vitro

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To study the clinical correlations between the frequencies of alloreactive CD28null/NKG2Dpos T cells with kidney graft function and histopathology.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. To test the effects of induction therapy with rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) vs. IL-2 receptor blocker antibodies on circulating CD28null/NKG2Dpos T cells.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Transplant, run by The Cleveland Clinic.

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 2 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 28 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To document the prevalence and frequencies of CD4+ and CD8+ CD28null/NKG2Dpos T cells at the time of transplantation. (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 28 Oct 2016.
