Biomarker-Guided Mycophenolate Mofetil Elimination in Low-Risk Older Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients (OPTIMA-KT)
Optimizing Immunosuppression in Low-Risk Older Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients (OPTIMA-KT): A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label, Blinded-Endpoint Single-Site Pilot/Feasibility Trial of Biomarker-Guided Mycophenolate Mofetil Elimination
Most kidney transplant recipients take a combination of anti-rejection medicines for the rest of their life. One of these is called mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), also known by the brand name CellCept. While MMF helps protect the kidney, taking it for many years can cause infections, low blood counts, stomach problems, and a higher risk of certain cancers, problems that older adults are especially likely to experience.
We are doing this study to learn whether carefully and slowly stopping MMF in older adults who are doing well after their transplant is as safe as continuing MMF, when we use blood and urine tests to closely watch for any early signs of trouble. The information learned could help future kidney transplant patients use less medicine without losing their transplant.

상세 설명
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, protocol adherence, biomarker monitoring completion, and preliminary clinical event rates associated with stepwise MMF elimination over 6 months compared with standard-of-care immunosuppression in low-risk older adult kidney transplant recipients.
Secondary objectives. To compare between arms: eGFR trajectory and proteinuria at Months 6 and 12; infection incidence (including CMV and BK), hospitalization, and adverse drug events; de novo DSA incidence and time to de novo DSA; and the kinetics and predictive performance of dd-cfDNA and urine CXCL9 and CXCL10 for rejection and de novo DSA.
Exploratory objectives. To assess the association between PIRCHE-II score and individual primary endpoint components; the performance of combined biomarker panels versus single biomarkers; health-related quality of life and patient-reported outcomes through Month 12; and cost and healthcare resource utilization through Month 12 across study arms.

활성 비교기: Standard of Care
Participants continue tacrolimus-based maintenance immunosuppression (tacrolimus, MMF, with or without prednisone)

Administration of Tacrolimus
Participants are administered MMF
Participants in SOC arm may be administered Prednisone as indicated

실험적: MMF Elimination (Mycophenolate Mofetil )
Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) is reduced to approximately 50% of baseline daily dose at Month 1, approximately 25% at Month 2, and discontinued at Month 3, remaining discontinued through Month 6 unless biomarker triggers prompt reinstatement.
Tacrolimus trough is maintained at 5 to 8 ng/mL with monthly monitoring and coefficient of variation tracking; prednisone is continued at site-standard dose unless contraindicated.
