Sequential Targeting of Cluster of Differentiation 52 (CD52) and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Allows Early Minimization Therapy in Kidney Transplantation
Sponsor: Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine
Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of new immunosuppressive protocol based on two applications of anti-CD52 MabCampath (Alemtuzumab) a single dose of anti-TNF-α Remicade (infliximab) monoclonal antibodies in the early posttransplant period followed by either monotherapy based on tacrolimus or sirolimus.
Official title: A Pilot, Open Single Centre, Prospective, Parallel Trail to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Immunosuppressive Regimen Without Calcineurin Inhibitors and Steroids After Induction of Anti-CD52 and Anti-TNF-α Monoclonal Antibodies in Kidney Transplant Recipients

MabCampath,
Primary deceased donor kidney transplant recipients received 2x20 mg Alemtuzumab (day 0/day 1) followed by 5 mg/kg Infliximab (day 2). For 14 days all patients received only tacrolimus, then they were randomized to either receive tacrolimus (TAC, n=13) or sirolimus (SIR, n=7) monotherapy, respectively.
Remicade
Primary deceased donor kidney transplant recipients received 2x20 mg Alemtuzumab (day 0/day 1) followed by 5 mg/kg Infliximab (day2). For 14 days all patients received only tacrolimus, then they were randomized to either receive tacrolimus (TAC, n=13) or sirolimus (SIR, n=7) monotherapy, respectively.
Sirolimus
Primary deceased donor kidney transplant recipients received 2x20 mg Alemtuzumab (day 0/day 1) followed by 5 mg/kg Infliximab (day 2). For 14 days all patients received only tacrolimus, then they were randomized to either receive tacrolimus (TAC, n=13) or sirolimus (SIR, n=7) monotherapy, respectively.
