About this trial
This study aims to describe, over a one-year period, the clinical, biological, and histological evolution of a cohort of kidney transplant recipients who developed antibody-mediated rejection and were treated with extracorporeal photopheresis.

Rejection treated with extracorporeal photopheresis
Subjects who do not object to the use of their personal data and/or biological samples
Disqualifiers
Patients with acute rejection
Pregnant women, women in labor, or breastfeeding mothers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of participants with response to extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) at 1 year
Response is defined as either: * stable serum creatinine at 1 year after initiation of ECP, corresponding to a variation within ±20% of baseline serum creatinine (responder); or * a reduction in the slope of creatinine clearance decline following initiation of ECP compared with the pre-treatment trajectory (partial responder). Participants meeting either criterion are considered responders for the primary efficacy analysis.
