Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy, Prophylaxis

to evaluate the role of adaptive immunity against to BKV and its modulation according to different immunosuppressive regimens used routinely in kidney transplantation, including mTor-i drugs.

Secondary objectives 1

  1. T/B cell association specific against BKV and serological immunity through neutralizing antibodies (NAb) before and after transplantation and its relationship with the risk of developing BKV infection in a prospective cohort of renal transplant patients who receive standard IS or an mTor-i-based regimen.

1 Kidney transplant patients with BK virus viral load in blood
Transplant patients with BK virus infection in blood greater than 2 logarithms, whether previously enrolled in the trial or not, will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups. Patients with a viral load less than 2 logs are expected to reduce their viral load spontaneously, without intervention. If at any time these patients exceed two logarithms they will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups.
Randomised Controlled None R1 Group: Patients who have a BK viral load of more than two logarithms in blood. Their dose of Myfortic or Cellcept will be reduced in half. If they do not reduce their viral load in the blood after 21 days, they will pass to group R2.
R2 Group: Patients who have a BK viral load of more than two logarithms in blood. Treatment is changed from Cellcept or myfortic to Rapamune.
2 Patients who are going to receive a kidney transplant
Patients who are going to receive a kidney transplant and who are going to be on a stable regimen and immunosuppression decided by their regular doctors.
Not Applicable None Cohort A: Patients who have an immunosuppression regimen based on sirolimus + tacrolimus + corticosteroids
Cohort B: Patients who have an immunosuppression regimen based on MPA/MMF + tacrolimus + corticosteroids

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 8

  1. The patient must be at least 18 years old.
  2. The patient must be able to give informed consent in writing
  3. Patient receiving a kidney transplant.
  4. The patient must have a maintenance immunosuppressive regimen based on tacrolimus + MMF/MPS + corticosteroids or tacrolimus + rapamycin + corticosteroids.
  5. Patient with viral load detectable by PCR in peripheral blood against the BK-virus
  6. Kidney transplant patient at Vall d'Hebron Hospital at most 12 months before viral load detection.
  7. Stable renal function with an estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 35 ml/min/1.73 m2
  8. Urine protein/creatinine ratio value less than 1 g/g

Exclusion criteria 5

  1. Prior diagnosis of T cell-mediated or antibody-mediated rejection.
  2. Active cancer excluding non-melanocytic skin cancer
  3. Potentially Fertile Women who do not agree to use measures reliable contraceptives during the trial, who are pregnant, in period of breast-feeding or who present a positive pregnancy test at the time of their inclusion in the study
  4. Patients presenting with another severe systemic infection at the time of randomization.
  5. Patients with positive HIV serology

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. changes in immune response virus-specific at different biological levels, of patients who develop infection virus by the BK virus through the changes in BK virus viral load in peripheral blood of patients

Secondary endpoints 5

  1. Differences between groups of the specific effector polyfunctional T (IFN-y/IL2, IL-2, IFN-y, IL6, IL-4) response against different proteins VBK (LT-1, VP1) using FluorSPOT technique
  2. Differences Between Groups in Memory B Cell Response producer of specific IgG against BKV immunogenic proteins
  3. Differences between specific neutralizing antibodies (NAb), by using a system based on pseudovirions that express genotypes I-IV virus capsid proteins
  4. Differences in the specific immunophenotype by FACS multiparameter spectral analysis (AURORA, CyTEX Bioscience) of cells CD8+, CD4+ and NKT with special interest in exhaustion phenotypes that could be induced by using mTor-i (CD45RA and CD27; CD85j, CD161, CD16, CD56 CD161 and CD94 and KLRG1; or PD-1, TIM-3, LAG3, and DNAM-1).
  5. Differences in TCR signaling efficiency of cells Specific T against BKV
