About this study

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end stage renal disease. One of the major challenges is to better diagnose the attacks undergone by the kidney transplant in order to increase its longevity. Multiple attacks are caused by non-immune and immune mechanisms, first and foremost the acute rejection of the transplant.

Biopsy, an invasive method, remains the "Gold Standard" for diagnosing rejection and other pathologies affecting the kidney transplant.

The invasive nature of these biopsies limits their use and alternative biomarkers have been evaluated in order to diagnose kidney transplant pathologies in a non-invasive manner. It is in this context that the nephrology and renal transplantation department of the Necker hospital and Inserm U1151 have carried out several studies leading to the identification of the diagnostic and prognostic potential of acute rejection, by the determination of urinary concentrations of two chemokines, CXCL9 and CXCL10.

The most recent study conducted within these teams demonstrated that the diagnostic potential of urinary chemokines could be improved by taking into account standard clinicobiological parameters in multiparametric models.

The main objective of the study is to develop, train and validate artificial intelligence models including urinary chemokines, efficient, robust, explainable and interpretable for the diagnosis and non-invasive prognosis of acute renal transplant rejection, trained on a data set made up of clinical and biological parameters.

For this, all the clinical parameters (demographic, medical history, characteristics of donors, immunosuppressive treatments, etc.) and biological (follow up of the usual biological parameters obtained as part of the routine care of transplant patients, urinary chemokines) of transplant patients followed in the nephrology and renal transplantation department of Necker hospital between 2004 and 2020, will be treated without a priori and by artificial intelligence methods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Transplantation, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2025. 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 France. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Diagnostic model accuracy (time frame: 3 years). 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 25 Sep 2025.
