Clinical Trial Summary

Hypothesis:

- That B cell depletion, rather than reducing acute rejection, will allow minimisation of immunosuppression, which may lead to better graft survival.

Aim:

- To assess whether the addition of rituximab to a low-dose tacrolimus immunosuppression regime allows a reduction in steroid administration.

Objectives:

- To assess whether B cell depletion affects graft function, acute rejection and complication rates

- To assess whether the T cell response to allotransplantation is impaired by B cell depletion.
