Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Calibration of Prospera® test for T cell mediated rejection

Set dd-cfDNA test cut-off values against the probability of T cell-mediated rejection in the biopsy (TBB and 3BMB) as reported by MMDx. Calibration of dd-cfDNA test cut-off values against the probability of T cell-mediated rejection in the biopsy as reported by MMDx.

Time frame
18 months
2

Calibration of Prospera® test for antibody-mediated rejection

Set dd-cfDNA test cut-off values against the probability of antibody-mediated rejection in the biopsy (TBB and 3BMB) as reported by MMDx.

Time frame
18 months
3

Calibration of Prospera® test for lung injury

Set dd-cfDNA test cut-off values against the probability of acute and chronic lung injury in the biopsy (TBB and 3BMB)as reported by MMDx.

Time frame
18 months
4

Report calibrated Prospera® test results for rejection

Report new dd-cfDNA test cut-off values for rejection

Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Assessment of donor-specific antibody status

Record and compare the DSA status (positive or negative) based on centralized and local HLA antibody to histology diagnoses..

Time frame
6 months
2

.Estimate the false positive rate of dd-cfDNA for MMDx and histology in indication and protocol biopsies

Calculate the sensitivity and specificity of dd-cfDNA for MMDx and histology diagnoses.

Time frame
6 months
3

Determine whether calibrated dd-cfDNA blood test will replace biopsies

Determine if dd-cfDNA test will avoid need for indication biopsy when transplant function deteriorates - yes or no. This will be based on the consensus between participating clinicians.

Time frame
6 months
4

Determine whether calibrated dd-cfDNA blood test predicts the effect of treatment

Determine the values for dd-cfDNA for grades of response to treatment: no change, partial response, complete resolution.

Time frame
6 months
