The Role of interferOn and Complement in SecondAry thRombotic micrioangiOpathy

Sponsor: Sofie Dhaese

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Study rationale: Viral infections, such as CMV, are a risk factor for TA-TMA (transplantation-associated TMA). Viral infections increase interferon (IFN) levels and high IFN levels are associated with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). IFNs contribute to TMA pathogenesis through suppression of VEGF transcription. Disruption of the VEGF signalling pathway in the kidney is associated with TMA. Primary objective: To determine the association between IFN levels and the development of biopsy-proven or clinically diagnosed TA-TMA. Secondary objective(s): To explore the relationship between complement activation and IFN in patients with TMA. To explore if high IFN levels are associated with low VEGF-A levels. Endpoint: The study aims to investigate the role of IFN in the pathogenesis of secondary thrombotic microangiopathy (focusing on patients with TA-TMA). It seeks to clarify whether IFN, next to complement dysregulation, is a driver of endothelial damage and TMA in these patients.
