The Highly Sensitized Patients: Effects of Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) On Anti-Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Antibody Levels In Patients Awaiting Cadaveric Renal Transplant
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept) for Kidney Failure, Chronic and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a 12-month, phase II, prospective, open label study, to evaluate the effect of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) among patients on the kidney transplant list with high Panel of Reactive Antibody (PRA) levels. On average, increasing the PRA from 0 to 50% specifically in the Washington Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) increases the waiting time from 3 to 6 years. Spontaneous decreases in the PRA rarely occur and is associated with a decreased chance for transplantation and a decreased rate of survival.
