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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Kidney transplant recipients followed at the University Hospitals of Besançon and Lille between September 1, 2016, and August 31, 2023

Patients with antibody-mediated rejection (as confirmed by histological analysis of the renal biopsy)

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

Individuals deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision; individuals receiving compulsory psychiatric care; or individuals admitted to a healthcare or social institution for reasons other than research participation

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
One year after initiation of ECP
