The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of ARGX-117 in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients at Risk for Delayed Graft Function. The study consists of 2 parts: part A comprises the main study period, and part B comprises the long-term observational follow-up period. During part A, after the screening period, eligible participants will be randomized to receive either ARGX-117 or placebo, entering the treatment and evaluation period (duration of up to 52 weeks). After the treatment period, participants will enter a follow-up period of up to 12 weeks. The total study duration varies from approximately 64 weeks up to 5 years post-transplant depending on whether a participant enrols in part B of the study.

The investigators hypothesize that preconditioning neurologically deceased organ donors with the calcineurin inhibitor tacrolimus will improve short and long-term transplant survival without causing harm. Organ donors will be randomized to receive either 0.02 mg/kg ideal body weight (IBW) of tacrolimus single infusion or placebo before organ recovery. All corresponding recipients are enrolled and data is collected up to 7 days post-transplant to determine graft function and at 1 year to collect outcomes of vital status, re-transplantation and dialysis. The CINERGY Pilot Trial assesses feasibility for the main trial.

The health and quality of life benefits of kidney transplantation are reduced by delayed graft function (DGF). There are a number of modifiable risk factors associated with DGF, such as intraoperative hypotension, the type of intravenous fluid used, glycemic control, and the restriction of blood transfusions. However, these factors have been assessed individually, and their collective effect on reducing the risk of DGF requires further investigation. We first propose a pilot RCT to establish the feasibility of a definitive RCT examining the impact of a treatment bundle of care on DGF. This will be a single centre, double-blinded pilot RCT including 50 adults undergoing kidney transplantation. Patients will be randomized to either the experimental group, which will consist of a treatment bundle of care, or to the control group, which will consist of routine clinical care for kidney transplant patients. The treatment bundle of care will consist of: the use of plasmalyte for fluid management, maintaining mean arterial pressure \> 75 mmHg, identify and treat blood glucose \> 9 mmol/L, and a restrictive criteria for red blood cell transfusions (i.e. hemoglobin (Hb) \< 70 g/L). The primary outcome of this pilot study is the recruitment rate. Recruitment rate will be defined as the number of patients who are approached to participate in the study and who are randomized to either the experimental or control group, as a percentage of the total number of eligible kidney transplant patients. The secondary outcomes are: 1) protocol adherence rate and 2) follow-up rate. Protocol success will be defined as a ≥90% compliance with at least 3 of the 4 treatment bundle components. Patient follow-up will end at 90-days after transplant and the target is to follow ≥90% of the patients until this time. DGF and acute rejection will not be assessed in the feasibility trial, and instead this data will be analyzed in the full trial.

The objectives of this study are to test the preliminary safety and efficacy of a two-day peri-operative course of treprostinil in reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury in adult patients receiving a deceased donor kidney transplantation. Treprostinil, a prostacyclin analog, is expected to facilitate the restoration of blood supply to the revascularized kidney graft via its vasodilatory actions, well characterized protective effects, and longer elimination half-life. These properties and actions of treprostinil make it a strong drug candidate to reduce kidney graft dysfunction during kidney transplantation. An anticipated 20 participants undergoing deceased donor kidney transplant will be hospitalized and intensively monitored during an entire two-day Treatment Phase. An IV infusion using a dedicated central venous line will be used to administer treprostinil commencing approximately 2-3 hours before transplantation of the kidney graft and will continue for approximately 48 hours after completion of the transplant surgery. The primary endpoints include the safety and efficacy of treprostinil, with secondary endpoints including the evaluation of both biochemical and clinical endpoints post-transplantation.

Avoiding warm ischemia time during vascular anastomosis of the renal allograft is important to prevent damage. The investigators are studying a cooling device that may control the temperature of the renal allograft during transplant surgery; attempting to keep temperatures at or below 5°C for at least 60 minutes. If found effective, this could eliminate warm ischemia and potentially prevent damage to transplanted kidneys.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Delayed Graft Function clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Delayed Graft Function clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Delayed Graft Function trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Delayed Graft Function is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Delayed Graft Function medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Delayed Graft Function clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Ravulizumab for Kidney Transplant, Bundle of Care for Kidney Transplant and ARGX-117 for Delayed Graft Function to the Power online platform.
