TruGraf® Long-term Clinical Outcomes Study

November 10, 2022 updated by: Transplant Genomics, Inc.
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study. Subjects will have OmniGraf™ (TruGraf® and TRAC™) testing at study enrollment and thereafter every 3 months. In addition subjects will have OmniGraf™ (TruGraf® and TRAC™) testing at any time there is a clinical suspicion of acute rejection. Data collection for the primary objective extends over a 2-year period.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Several studies have validated TruGraf® in stable renal transplant patients to rule out subclinical acute rejection. These studies generally evaluated the diagnostic value of TruGraf® at single timepoints. Thus the value of serial monitoring and changes over time has not been previously investigated. In addition, no study has assessed TruGraf® and TRAC™in a serial and longitudinal fashion.

Therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of serial monitoring renal transplant patients with both TruGraf® and TRAC™ on long term outcomes.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients monitored with TruGraf and TRAC testing
Subjects will have TruGraf and TRAC testing at study enrollment (Baseline) and thereafter every 3 months. In addition subjects will have TRAC testing at any time there is a suspicion of acute rejection.
