Awards & highlights
Summary
This trial aims to test the safety of a drug called siplizumab in patients with autoimmune liver disease who are undergoing liver transplant. The drug targets memory T cells, which are involved in rejection
Who is the study for?
This trial is for liver transplant recipients with autoimmune liver diseases like autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Participants should not have other conditions that could interfere with the study or pose a risk.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Siplizumab, an anti-CD2 monoclonal antibody, to see if it's safe and can prevent immune-mediated graft injury post-transplant in patients with AILD. It involves two doses of the drug given around the time of transplant.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, monoclonal antibodies like Siplizumab may cause reactions at the infusion site, infections due to immune suppression, allergic reactions, and potential impact on organ function.
