Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to offer Panel Reactive Antibodies [PRA] reduction treatment to high responder renal transplant patients who otherwise may never be compatible with a potential organ donor. PRA reduction is offered in the following phases:

1. Immunological Testing

2. Transplant Nephrectomy

3. Pharmacologic Therapy

4. Plasmapheresis

5. Transplant


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with high level of preformed antibodies (panel reactive antibodies [PRA]) to donor antigens make identification of a suitable donor difficult. For most transplant centers, 20-35% of patients waiting for a kidney transplant comprise this challenging group. These patients have a wait time of over five years and have many incompatible cross-matches with potential organ donors. ;
