Detailed Description
Study design: Prospective observational cohort study. Study population: Adult patients who are treated with alemtuzumab for severe or glucocorticoid-resistant kidney transplant rejection.
Intervention (if applicable): Not applicable. Main study parameters/endpoints: Lymphocyte (subtype) repopulation, serious infections, one-year graft survival, alemtuzumab plasma levels, intra-cellular signalling of repopulated T and B cells, cytokine-levels, donor-specificity of repopulated T cells, differences pre- and post-treatment of donor-derived cell-free DNA, plasma nucleosomes, urinary chemokines, urinary extracellular vesicles, breath-pattern analysis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients with lymphocyte repopulation [6 months and 1 year]
Outcome reporting of the proportion of patients that has repopulation of T and B lymphocytes, defined as cell counts of >200 10E6/L for T lymphocytes and > 100 10E6/L for B lymphocytes.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cumulative incidence of graft loss [6 months, 1 year]
Cumulative incidence of graft loss at specified time-points with death as competing risk, computed by cumulative incidence functions.
- Serious infections [6 months, 1 year]
Necessitating hospital admission, or hospital-acquired
- Patient survival [6 months, 1 year]
Proportion of patients who survived at specified time-points, computed with kaplan-meier estimates at specified time-points.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
18 years or older
-
Treatment for severe or glucocorticoid-resistant kidney transplant rejection with alemtuzumab.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Treatment with a different lymphocyte depleting agent (e.g. rATG) prior to treatment with alemtuzumab for the same rejection episode.
-
Recipients who have T cell counts below 200 × 106/L before the start of therapy (for instance, because of lymphocyte depleting induction therapies).
-
Inability to provide written informed consent
