Study Description

Brief Summary

Single-arm, prospective observational study

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Diagnostic Test: blood samples

Detailed Description

This is an observational study to monitor the treatment of donor-specific antibodies in lung transplant recipients with detection of donor-specific antibodies. All consented subjects will be approached for participation. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment protocol of donor-specific antibodies with Immunoglobulins or combined treatment with Immunoglobulins, Plasmapheresis and Rituximab after lung transplantation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Donor-specific Antibodies Clearance [6, 12, 18, 24 months]

    The DSA clearance is defined as absence of DSA in the Luminex test, which is performed every 6 months after treatment end.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Graft survival [1, 3, 5 years]

    Graft survival is defined as freedom from mortality and re-transplantation

  2. Incidence of acute cellular and humoral rejections and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) [1, 3, 5 years]
