Thymoglobulin Induction in Kidney Transplant Recipients — TIKT  

Kidney Transplantation Clinical Trial

Official title:
THYMOGLOBULIN INDUCTION AND STEROID-FREE IMMUNOSUPPRESSION IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION FROM DECEASED DONORS AFTER CARDIAC DEATH-AN OPEN LABEL RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL TO EVALUATE THE ROLE OF THYMOGLOBULIN AS INDUCTION IMMUNOSUPPRESSION IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FROM DECEASED DONORS AFTER CARDIAC DEATH

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if anti-thymocyte globulin (Thymoglobuline) administration in the kidney transplant recipient is able to reduce the amount of damage that kidneys transplanted from deceased donors sustains on reperfusion.

Clinical Trial Description

The increasing disparity between organ availability and the number of patients on waiting list for a transplant has led to different strategies to improve half life of all transplants. One such method is to reduce the amount of damage the organ sustains during the period of preservation and reperfusion in the recipient. Thymoglobulin, an anti-lymphocyte antibody has been shown to have the ability to reduce this damage in experimental studies. This study aims to ascertain the role of Thymoglobulin in kidney transplants from donors after cardiac death, the type of kidney transplants at highest risk of sustaining injury during preservation. The study will involve comparison with conventional immunosuppressant therapy, comparison between Thymoglobulin administered in different doses, and observation of the patterns of blood cell repopulation (lymphocytes mainly) in the first year following kidney transplantation. ;
