Evaluation of 2 Techniques of Apheresis to Desensitize ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplant Candidates (DADI)
Evaluation of 2 Techniques of Apheresis to Desensitize ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplant Candidates: Double Filtration PlasmaPheresis (DFPP) vs Large Plasma Volume Specific ImmunoAdsorption
Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease. ABO incompatible (ABOi) living donor kidney transplantation is one of the best ways to expand the donors' pool. However, breaking the ABO barrier is possible only with a preconditioning regimen that includes 1) an immunosuppressive strategy using a B-cell depleting agent (rituximab), an induction therapy with polyclonal antibodies, and a maintenance triple immunosuppressive therapy based on calcineurin inhibitors, and 2) a desensitization protocol aiming to decrease the titer of isoagglutinins. For this purpose, several techniques of apheresis are available. To date, two main techniques used in clinical setting are the Double-Filtration PlasmaPheresis (DFPP) and the Antigen-Specific Immunoadsorption (SIA). DFPP permits the depletion of the selective plasma fraction containing Immunoglobulins, while limiting the need for plasma substitution. SIA enables to remove ABO antibodies without a major loss in essential plasma components. To date, no randomized study comparing DFPP and SIA exist. SIA is less often used because of its high cost. However, in order to reduce the number of SIA sessions and consequently its cost, large plasma volume sessions of SIA are performed. ABOi is dramatically more expensive than ABO compatible kidney transplantation. A large part of the difference in the cost is related to the apheresis technique.
Herein, the investigator proposes to describe the efficacy, the safety, and the cost of DFPP and SIA to desensitize ABO incompatible kidney transplant candidates.

Detailed Description
All recipients will receive an induction therapy with rituximab and polyclonal antibodies, as well as a maintenance therapy by tacrolimus, mycophenolic acid (switched for mTOR (Mechanistic target of rapamycin) inhibitors 1 month after the transplantation to avoid viral infections) and steroids.
The desensitization protocol will be based on the initial titer of isoagglutinin. All patients with an isoagglutinin titer between 1/8 and 1/128 will be included in this monocentric, open label study, and randomized between the DFPP arm (1 to 4 sessions according to the initial titer) and large-plasma SIA (1 to 2 sessions according to the titer). The effectiveness will be evaluated on the ability to obtain the targeted titer before transplantation (1/4) with less than 5 DFPP, or 2 large-plasma volume SIA.
All recipients will be followed for 6 months, and examined for surgical complications, rejection rate, and kidney function. All complications related to desensitization protocol will be reported. Moreover, all cost associated with these two apheresis techniques will be evaluated.
