在心脏移植中使用利妥昔单抗 (Rituxan) 疗法预防心脏同种异体移植物血管病变
在心脏移植中使用利妥昔单抗 (Rituxan) 疗法预防心脏同种异体移植物血管病变 (CTOT-11)
All people who have a heart transplant are at risk for developing cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). CAV means narrowing of the heart transplant vessels, which is associated with poor heart transplant function. People who develop antibodies after transplant have a higher risk of developing CAV. Infections, high cholesterol, and rejection also increase the risk of developing CAV. People who develop CAV usually have to receive another transplant.
研究概览
地位
详细说明
The purpose of this research study is to see if a study drug called rituximab (Rituxan®) prevents CAV. Rituximab destroys certain types of white blood cells called B cells. B cells are important cells in the immune system that help the body fight infection by producing substances called antibodies. B cells and the antibodies they produce are also involved in some kinds of rejection after organ transplantation. Rituximab decreases the number of B cells in the blood and other tissues. The goal of this study is to determine if decreasing B cells with Rituximab can prevent injury to the transplanted heart.

Change in Percent Atheroma Volume (PAV)
大体时间：Baseline, 1 year
|
Nominal or noticeable change, bad or good, from baseline to 1 year in percent atheroma volume (PAV) which is a measure of the degree of coronary arterial obstruction due to host alloimmune processes measured by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in a target coronary artery. Thus a decrease in PAV would be an indicator of less obstruction and a better outcome. |

Re-transplantation or Re-listed for Transplantation
大体时间：6 to 12 months
|
Re-transplantation is defined as the receipt of a subsequent heart transplant and re-listed for transplantation is being listed back on the heart transplant list to be re-transplanted. |

Number of Episodes of Biopsy Proven Acute Rejection (BPAR) of Any Grade Per Participant
大体时间：6 to 12 months
|
The number of times a participant experienced biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR). Biopsy proven acute rejection is when an examination of tissue removed from the transplanted organ indicates that the subject's immune system is trying to reject the graft. BPAR was defined as a biopsy that met the International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) criteria to be graded as 1R or greater rejection and was determined by a single, central pathology laboratory. |
6 to 12 months
|
|
Incidence of BPAR (Any Grade)
大体时间：6 to 12 months
|
The number of subjects who experienced any grade of biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR) within the clinical trial. Biopsy proven acute rejection is when an examination of tissue removed from the transplanted organ indicates that the subject's immune system is trying to reject the graft. BPAR was defined as a biopsy which met The International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) criteria to be graded as 1R or greater rejection and was determined by a single, central pathology laboratory. |
6 to 12 months
|
|
Incidence of AMR
大体时间：6 to 12 months
|
The number of participants who experienced antibody- mediated rejection (AMR). Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) occurs when the subject develops antibodies directed against the transplanted heart. This was assessed based on local pathology biopsy reads. |
6 to 12 months
|
|
Incidence of Cellular Rejection
大体时间：6 to 12 months
|
Cellular Rejection refers to the organ recipient's immune system recognizing a transplanted organ as foreign and mounting a response to it via cellular mechanisms. Cellular rejection was defined as a biopsy which met The International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) criteria to be graded as 1R or greater rejection and was determined by a single, central pathology laboratory |
6 to 12 months
|
|
Incidence of Any Treated Rejection
大体时间：6 to 12 months
|
The number of participants who were treated by their local physician for any type of rejection including, but not limited to cellular rejection and antibody- mediated rejection (AMR) of the transplanted heart regardless of the presence of a biopsy. |
6 to 12 months
|
|
Number of Participants With Episodes of Rejection Associated With Hemodynamic Compromise (HDC)
大体时间：6 to 12 months
|
The number of participants that experienced at least one episode of rejection associated with hemodynamic compromise (HDC). Rejection associated with HDC is when there is insufficient blood flow to the transplanted heart in association with acute rejection found in a biopsy. Local biopsies were used for this outcome measure. |
6 to 12 months
|
|
Number of Participants With Development of Angiographically Evident Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy
大体时间：1 year
|
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is an aggressive form of atherosclerosis that is characterized by the development of fibrosis affecting cardiac arteries that result in concentric narrowing of the arteries and, ultimately allograft failure. Development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy can be diagnosed via an angiograph which is an X-ray of the cardiac arteries by injecting a radiopaque substance such as iodine. |

Post-transplant Safety Outcomes Among Participants: Safety and Tolerability of Rituximab
大体时间：Transplantation through end of study, up to 1 year post transplantation
