Safety and Efficacy of Desensitization Therapy in Sensitized Participants Awaiting Heart Transplantation

Heart Transplantation Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter, Two-Parallel Arm Study Evaluating the Overall Efficacy and Safety of Desensitization Therapy on Selected Patients Awaiting Heart Transplantation

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of desensitization therapy, which includes VELCADE® (bortezomib) and plasmapheresis, on select sensitized patients awaiting heart transplantation.

Clinical Trial Description

Bortezomib works by decreasing plasma cells in the blood. Plasma cells produce antibodies. Plasmapheresis is a procedure that removes antibodies from the blood. Plasma cells and antibodies produced by plasma cells can be involved in organ rejection after transplantation.

This trial will evaluate if decreasing plasma cells and antibodies with bortezomib and plasmapheresis can reduce complications while participants are waiting for their heart transplant. The evaluation of efficacy is defined by a lower complication rate while on the heart transplant waitlist. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
