NCAMR-CAMR Allosure Study

August 17, 2022 updated by: Benjamin Mackie, Tampa General Hospital

NON-COMPLEMENT MEDIATED AMR vs. COMPLEMENT MEDIATED AMR: DOES DD-cfDNA/GEP SHOW A DIFFERENCE

Heart Transplant recipients at Tampa General Hospital heart transplant program who have pAMR1(H+) or pAMR1(I+) rejection will have a DD-cfDNA /GEP sample obtained at the time of the rejection. The DD-cfDNA/GEP will then be drawn every month post treatment for the rejection until the DD-cfDNA/GEP level returns to normal. A total of fifteen recipients with pAMR1(H+) and fifteen recipients with pAMR1(I+) rejection will be included in the study which will last two years. The presence of HLA antibodies (DSA's) and the titers, presence of Autoantibodies, the measurement of cytokines IL2, IL4, IL6, IL 10, IL 17, TNF alpha, TGF beta, the presence of coronary artery vasculopathy, the time from transplant to the onset of the episode of AMR, time to resolution, the response to treatment and comparison to the DD-cfDNA/GEP level with pAMR2 and pAMR 3 rejections will be analyzed.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Enrolling by invitation

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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 to 99 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who have undergone Orthotopic Heart Transplantation who have pAMR1 rejection will be included in the study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have undergone Orthotopic Heart Transplantation who have pAMR1 rejection.

Exclusion Criteria:

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
non-complement mediated pAMR(H+)
Diagnostic test: Allosure/Allomap/Cytokines testing
All patients with evidence of Cardiac Transplant rejection will undergo Allosure, Allomap, and cytokine testing. Allosure and Allomap will be performed as part of routine care. Cytokine testing will be performed at time of rejection and resolution.
complement mediated pAMR(I+)
Diagnostic test: Allosure/Allomap/Cytokines testing
All patients with evidence of Cardiac Transplant rejection will undergo Allosure, Allomap, and cytokine testing. Allosure and Allomap will be performed as part of routine care. Cytokine testing will be performed at time of rejection and resolution.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The level of dd-cfDNA in non-compliment mediated pAMR1 (H+) and complement mediated pAMR1 (I+) heart transplant rejection will be measured.
Time Frame: 2 years
The level of dd-cfDNA in non-compliment mediated pAMR1 (H+) and complement mediated pAMR1 (I+) heart transplant rejection will be measured and then compared statistically to each other via Students t test as well as to the level of dd-cf DNA before and after the rejection episode.
2 years

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The level of inflammatory cytokines in non-compliment mediated pAMR1(H+) and compliment mediated pAMR1(I+) heart transplant rejection will be measured.
Time Frame: 2 years
The level of inflammatory cytokines in non-compliment mediated pAMR1(H+) and compliment mediated pAMR1(I+) heart transplant rejection will be measured and compared statistically to each other via the Students t test as well as to the level of inflammatory cytokines after the rejection episode has resolved. The cytokines that will be assessed are: IL2, IL4, IL6, IL10, IL17, TNF alpha and TGF beta.
2 years
The presence of HLA antibodies (DSA's) and titer levels, autoantibodies and titer levels and coronary artery vasculopathy will be measured.
Time Frame: 2 years
The presence of HLA antibodies (DSA's) and titer levels, autoantibodies and titer levels and coronary artery vasculopathy will be measured in the heart transplant recipients with non-compliment mediated pAMR1(H+) and pAMR1(I+) rejection and compared to each other via Students t test.

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
