Kidney Transplantation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical Validation of Lophius Biosciences Kit T-Track® CMV to Assess the Functionality of CMV-specific Cell-mediated Immunity (CMI) and Its Suitability to Determine a Protective Cut-off Value for CMV Reactivations/Disease in Kidney Transplant Recipients
This study aims to validate whether Lophius Biosciences Kit T-Track® CMV is suitable to
assess the functionality of CMV-specific cell-mediated immunity (CMI) and to determine a
protective cut-off value for CMV reactivations/disease in kidney transplant recipients.
Lophius kit T-Track® CMV represents a highly standardized and sensitive diagnostic tool to
assess the functionality of a network of clinically relevant CMV-reactive effector cells. It
is based on the stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with
urea-formulated immunodominant CMV proteins, pp65 and IE-1, and the subsequent
quantification of CMV-specific CMI (spot forming colonies) using a highly sensitive IFN-γ
ELISpot.
Severe clinical complications including acute rejection and opportunistic infections in solid organ transplantation (SOT) are mainly caused by inadequate impairment of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) by immunosuppressive therapy. In particular CMV is responsible for increased morbidity and mortality revealing the need for either prophylactic or preemptive antiviral treatment. Recipients with negative CMV serology (R-) receiving a graft from a seropositive donor (D+) are at highest risk of developing CMV-associated complications. Therefore, these patients usually receive antiviral prophylaxis whereas patients at intermediate risk (D+/R+ or D-/R+) are treated either prophylactically or preemptively. Although prophylaxis is efficient, it is also accompanied by harmful side effects and high costs. Thus, there is a need for a personalized antiviral as well as immunosuppressive therapy to optimally treat the patient and to improve long-term patient and graft survival. The detection of a protective threshold of functional CMV-reactive cells may help to predict the onset of viral complications, thereby minimizing harmful side effects. Currently available tools to measure CMV-specific cellular immunity reveal striking limitations including a lack of standardization necessitating a commercially available standardized test system. The Lophius kit T-Track® CMV represents a highly standardized and sensitive diagnostic tool to assess the functionality of a network of clinically relevant CMV-reactive effector cells. It is based on the stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with urea-formulated immunodominant CMV proteins, pp65 and IE-1, and the subsequent quantification of CMV-specific CMI (spot forming colonies) using a highly sensitive IFN-γ ELISpot. This study aims to assess the suitability of the Lophius Biosciences kit T-Track® CMV to determine the CMV-specific CMI in renal transplant recipients scheduled for a preemptive antiviral treatment strategy. Furthermore, it will be investigated if the results obtained with T-Track® CMV are suitable to define a cut-off value of CMV-specific CMI mediating protection from CMV reactivations and related complications. Moreover, possible associations between CMV-specific CMI measured with T-Track® CMV and clinical complications including acute rejection episodes and opportunistic infections will be analyzed as well as the influence of the immunosuppressive treatment and the patient`s HLA type on viral immunity. ;
