Multicenter, Prospective Study for Urinary Exosomal Biomarkers of Kidney

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators aim to identify urinary exosomal biomarkers that represent the extent of graft fibrosis from deceased donor kidney transplantation. Urinary samples will be collected from deceased kidney donors at the time of procurement and zero-day kidney graft biopsy will be performed at the time of transplant. The association between urinary exosomes and the degree of graft fibrosis will be analyzed to identify biomarkers that represent fibrosis. The correlation between these biomarkers and graft long term outcomes will be investigated.

Clinical Trial Description

Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA), previously known as chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), is diagnosed by pathologic changes involving all parts of the renal parenchyma and is one of the factors impacting graft survival and outcome. Currently, there is no standard to predict allograft fibrosis status at the time of procurement. Noninvasive biomarkers are necessary to monitor allograft status and to predict long-term outcomes.

The investigators aim to conduct a multicenter prospective study to identify urinary exosomal biomarkers that represent the extent of graft fibrosis from deceased donor kidney transplantation. Urinary samples will be collected from deceased kidney donors at the time of procurement and zero-day kidney graft biopsy will be performed at the time of transplant. The zero-day biopsy tissue will be stained with Masson's Trichrome staining, Collagen I, III, IV immunostaining to evaluate the degree of fibrosis. Also, by ultracentrifuge, we will extract urinary exosomes and perform proteomics analysis and RNA-sequencing. The association between urinary exosomes and the degree of graft fibrosis will be analyzed to identify biomarkers that represent fibrosis. The correlation between these biomarkers and graft long term outcomes will be investigated. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
