Timeline

No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial is testing whether two different tests can show why patients who have had a kidney transplant and have developed antibodies against their donor are at a greater risk for their transplanted organ being rejected.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for kidney transplant recipients with antibodies against their donors (sensitized) and the living donors themselves. Participants must consent to study procedures not part of normal care. Excluded are those with low neutrophil or platelet counts, recent investigational drug use, current systemic anticoagulation therapy, certain cancer histories within 5 years, or serious medical/psychiatric conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests the validity of two assays on bone marrow from sensitized kidney transplant recipients to understand the higher rejection risk in these patients. It involves marrow aspirations from both recipients and living donors to assess immune responses.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for bone marrow aspirations in this summary, common ones include pain at the aspiration site, bleeding, bruising, and infection risk.
