About this study
Official title: Multicenter International Observational Study to Build and Validate Multidimensional Risk Score in the Clinical Setting of Kidney Allograft Biopsies to Predict Long-term Allograft Survival
To further develop personalized medicine in kidney transplantation and improve transplant patient outcomes, attention has been given to define early surrogate endpoints that might aid therapeutic interventions, clinical trials and clinical decision-making.
Despite a clear pressing need, no population-scale prognostication system exists that will combine traditional factors and biomarker candidates to represent the complete spectrum of risk predicting parameters. To adequately predict transplant patients' individual risks of allograft loss, this would require a complex integration of data, including: donor data, recipient characteristics, transplant characteristics, allograft precision phenotypes, ethnicity, immunosuppressive regimen monitoring, allograft infections, acute kidney injuries, and recipient immune profiles.

This project aims:
- To develop a generalizable, transportable, mechanistically and data driven composite surrogate end point in kidney transplantation;
- To validate several risk scores to predict kidney allograft survival and response to treatment of individual patients;
Eventually, it will provide an easily accessible tool to calculate individual patients' risk profiles after kidney transplantation, by using datasets from prospective cohorts and post hoc analysis of randomized control trial datasets.
Read the detailed description
Background The field of kidney transplantation currently lacks robust models to predict long-term allograft failure, which represents a major unmet need in clinical care and clinical trials. This study aims to generate and validate an accessible scoring system that predicts individual patients' risk of long-term kidney allograft failure.
Main Outcome(s) and Measure(s)
A score based on classical statistical approaches to model determinants of allograft and patient survival (Cox model, multinomial regression). These models will be further completed with statistical approaches derived from artificial intelligence and machine learning.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
No interventionOther
Kidney recipients aged over 18 and of all sexes recruited from 2002 in European and North American centers, who have eGFR follow-up and data from protocol and for cause biopsies available for allograft survival assessment; RCT conducted over the past 20 years with available data on protocol biopsy within the first year and follow up clinical, biological and histological data.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Allograft survival probability
Allograft survival probability, calculated from a composite score (based on clinical, histological, immunological, and functional variables) assessed at the time of biopsy.
Measured: Allograft survival probability at 7 year post transplantation

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?
Allograft survival probability (time frame: Allograft survival probability at 7 year post transplantation). 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 NCT03474003, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 1 May 2020.
