Clinical trial
Immune Monitoring to Facilitate Belatacept Monotherapy
Name
2019P002608
Description
* To determine the utility of novel blood-based immune monitoring tools (Allosure and Trugraf) to facilitate belatacept monotherapy.
* To determine the percent of belatacept-treated renal transplant patients that can be safely converted to belatacept monotherapy.

Treatment
Allosure
Monthly monitoring of dd-cfDNA levels in blood

donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA)
Immunosuppression reduction
Stepwise reduction in the dose, and ultimate discontinuation of, all non-belatacept immunosuppression (mycophenolate, sirolimus, everolimus, prednisone) guided by monitoring of Allosure and Trugraf results
Arms:
Belatacept treated patients
Other names:
Belatacept, mycophenolate, sirolimus, everolimus, prednisone
Trugraf
Monthly monitoring of Trugraf result
Arms:
Belatacept treated patients

Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age minimum 18 years
* Written informed consent
* Single kidney transplant recipient (i.e. no combined organ transplants)
* Treated with de novo belatacept since transplantation (i.e. no previous use of calcineurin inhibitor or mTOR inhibitor for the current transplant)
* At least 1 year after transplantation or after initiation of belatacept
* Stable renal function (eGFR \> 40 ml/min continuously during previous 6 months)
* Blood biomarkers indicate immune quiescence (for Allosure this corresponds to dd-cfDNA \< 1%; for Trugraf this corresponds to "TX" signature)
* No history of BK viremia in current allograft
Exclusion Criteria:
* History of biopsy-proven acute rejection
* Presence of donor-specific antibodies (at any MFI)
* Spot urine protein/creatinine ratio \> 0.5 g/g
