B Cell Lymphocyte in Humoral Rejection and Alloimmunisation (BHL)

May 2, 2017 updated by: University Hospital, Brest
This study aims to better characterise B cell phenotype and functional abnormalities in kidney transplant patients producing donor specific antibody (DSA) and in those with chronic antibody mediated rejection (cAMR) and to search for a predictive tool (biomarker). The functional analysis will help to better understand B cell-dependant mechanisms implied in T cell proliferation and better target future treatments.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The principal objective is to better understand the B cell dependant mechanisms of the chronic antibody mediated rejection (cAMR). A particular focus will be done on the mechanisms that could explain the natural history of chronic humoral mediated rejection and of pathways from DSA negative status toward DSA positive status and from DSA positive status to histological lesions. The following will be undergone for three categories of patients (stable patients, DSA positive patients without cAMR and DSA positive patients with cAMR) :

  • A phenotypic analysis of B cells of patients suffering from chronic humoral rejection or who are simply DSA positive.
  • A functional analysis in autologous cultures in order to confirm our preliminary results.
  • A functional analysis in a heterologous proliferation test aiming at a better understanding of the absence of B cell regulation of T cell proliferation in patients suffering from cAMR.
  • A cytokine analysis (IL10, alpha-tumor necrosis factor, gamma-interferon dosing), for a better understanding of the mechanisms that are involved in the regulation of the T cell response that is induced by the B cells.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of the ratio (percentage and absolute values) of mature LB subpopulations (LBm1 to LBm5) and of memory LB by specific labellings
Time Frame: At the inclusion day
At the inclusion day
Evaluation of the proliferation of freshly isolated cells T in presence of autologous B cells
Time Frame: At the inclusion day
At the inclusion day
Evaluation of the proliferation of T cells in a heterologous test
Time Frame: At the inclusion day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
