Participant Flow

The study planned to enroll 80 participants; however, the decision to terminate the study was made due to the very slow rate of participant accrual and the inability to meet the recruitment goal within the funding period. Only 2 participants were enrolled at one site before study recruitment status changed to "Active, not recruiting."

Desensitization
Plasmapheresis with concomitant bortezomib. * Plasmapheresis will be given for 3 consecutive days (treatment days 0, 1 and 2) within 2 weeks of Status I listing for heart transplantation. Plasmapheresis is a procedure that involves the extracorporeal separation of plasma from cellular blood components by centrifugation or membrane filtration, which removes the alloantibody. The plasma depleted blood is reconstituted with exogenous fresh-frozen plasma or albumin solution which is then infused back into the patient. * Four doses of bortezomib (1.3 mg/m\^2) were administered intravenously on treatment days 0, 3, 7 and 10. The first dose was given between 4-8 hours after the first plasmapheresis session was completed and there was at least 96 hours between the second and third dose of bortezomib
