Descrizione dettagliata
The current standard for assessment of rejection in heart transplants is an endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) interpreted by histology according to ISHLT guidelines. This has considerable error rates, many due to the high disagreement among pathologists in assessing lesions and diagnoses. To address the unmet need for precision and accuracy, the Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Centre (ATAGC, University of Alberta) has developed a new diagnostic system - the Molecular Microscope® Diagnostic System (MMDx), which uses microarrays to define the global gene expression features of rejection and injury. Now a new screening test is being introduced: the monitoring of donor-derived cell-free DNA (DD-cfDNA) released in the blood by the heart during rejection. The Natera Inc DD-cfDNA Prospera® test is based on the massively multiplex polymerase chain reaction that targets 13,392 single nucleotide polymorphisms and targeted sequences are quantified by Next Generation Sequencing. The Prospera® test has been done on kidney transplant recipients and detected "active rejection" and differentiated it from borderline rejection and no rejection. However, Prospera® test was not examined (the DD-cfDNA results) in heart transplant recipients. DD-cf-DNA test for heart transplants must now be calibrated against MMDx that is based on global gene expression, the new standard for biopsy interpretation. The present study will calibrate centrally measured (Natera Inc) DD-cfDNA levels obtained at the time of an indication or protocol biopsy against the MMDx measurements of T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR), antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) and early and late tissue injury. The present study will compare DD-cfDNA and MMDx in 300 prospectively collected biopsies for clinical indications and protocol, and accompanying 600 blood samples, to calibrate the DD-cfDNA (Natera Inc.) levels against the MMDx biopsy diagnoses of TCMR, ABMR (and its stages), and acute (early) and chronic (late) injury, , as well as central assessment of HLA antibody (One Lambda) in 300 blood samples, interpreted centrally as donor specific antibody (DSA) based on the tissue typing results. Trifecta-Heart collected 718 biopsies, 709 cfDNA samples and 706 One Lambda samples so far. Due to a considerable interest from participation centers, this study aims to collect 300 more biopsies and corresponding blood samples. This study is an extension of the INTERHEART ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02670408
