About this study

This is a prospective, multi-site, observational study with a matched control group. The primary objective is to evaluate change in renal function over time in recipients of kidney transplants who are undergoing OmniGrafTM monitoring in conjunction with patient medication-related burden monitoring.

Read the detailed description

The survival benefits of solid organ transplants in the United States are well documented. Improvements in immunosuppression, better anti-microbial agents, and other aspects of ancillary care have resulted in significant improvements in short- term outcomes; however, there has been little improvement in long-term graft loss. A more recent analysis found that 65% of hospital readmissions in kidney transplant recipients had adverse drug events (ADE) considered contributory, and ADE-associated readmissions had a significantly higher hazard or graft loss and death compared to patients with readmissions not associated with an ADE. Even with knowledge of ADEs, clinicians may be reluctant to adjust immunosuppressive medications due to concerns of rejection risk during the period of medication adjustment. The OmniGrafTM biomarker panel (Transplant Genomics, Inc, Framingham, MA) includes the TruGraf® peripheral blood expression profile and the TRAC donor-derived cell-free DNA(dd-cfDNA) test, which have demonstrated a strong ability to identify immune quiescence in stable patients post kidney transplant, with a NPV of 94% when both tests are negative and a PPV of 89% for subclinical rejection when both tests are positive. Because of the strong "rule out" capabilities of OmniGrafTM, it would be an ideal complement to real-time ADE knowledge to help guide clinicians' decisions to adjust, or not adjust, the immunosuppressive regimen, and help provide a dialogue between patients and clinicians on the risk-benefit of medication adjustments. The aim of this study is to evaluate change in renal function over time in recipients of kidney transplants who are undergoing OmniGrafTM monitoring in conjunction with patient medication-related burden monitoring.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients monitored with OmniGraf TestingSubjects will have OmniGraf™ testing at study enrollment and thereafter every 3 months or at the same time as standard routine labs (minimum two per year).

What is being measured

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

  1. GFR changes between study group and matched control group

    Comparison of the slope change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), calculated using the MDRD 4-variable equation and CKD-EPI, from baseline to the end of follow-up between study participants and a matched control group.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. PROMISE and Self efficacy results from baseline to study completion

    Comparison of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System(PROMIS) Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions - Managing Medications and Treatment-Short Form 4a (Self-Efficacy) at the end of follow-up to baseline PROMIS tools were developed to be disease non-specific measures of health-related domains. Each domain in composed of an item bank specific to a trait being measured. Item banks are calibrated on a common scale to facilitate comparability across varying populations. Depression is measured by various questions with answers ranging from never to always.

    Raw scores are transformed to standardized T-score metrics, with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10

    Measured: 3 years

  3. PROMIS Depression scale from baseline to study completion

    Comparison of the PROMIS Depression scale at the end of follow-up to baseline. PROMIS tools were developed to be disease non-specific measures of health-related domains such as self-efficacy for symptom and medication management, depression, anxiety, fatigue, pain interference, sleep disturbance, and physical functioning. Each domain in composed of an item bank specific to a trait being measured. Item banks are calibrated on a common scale to facilitate comparability across varying populations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Transplant Rejection, run by Transplant Genomics, Inc..

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 1 Aug 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Isioma Agboli, MD (15107678609, isiomaagboli@eurofins-tgi.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

GFR changes between study group and matched control group (time frame: 3 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 NCT05482100, which also lists 12 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 Aug 2022.
