NCT ID: NCT03611621

Last Updated: 2025-02-07

Participant Flow

Long-term follow-up of patients participating in the imlifidase kidney transplantation studies (feeder studies) 13-HMedIdeS-02, 13-HMedIdeS-03, 14-HMedIdeS-04 and 15-HMedIdeS-06. The patients attend 4 follow up visits, 1, 2, 3 and 5 years after imlifidase administration. Up to 46 patients could be included depending on patients' willingness to participate in the trial.

Data from patients who died (n=3) or had lost their graft (n=3) after the end of the feeder study but prior to being enrolled in the current trial, were included in the data analysis after ethics permission i.e. data from 37 patients was analyzed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years after first dose of imlifidase (in the feeder study)

Population: The primary endpoint, overall graft survival, was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier survival method and presented with 95% confidence limits. The following events were censored at the time of occurrence: withdrawal from the trial without graft loss, death not caused by graft loss, and end of trial without graft loss.

The primary endpoint of this study is to determine overall graft survival, defined as time from transplantation to graft loss.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years after first dose of imlifidase (in the feeder study)

Population: Patients with a visit/assessment at year 5. Note: number of patients with suspected acute rejection episodes up until year 5. One (1) biopsy confirmed rejection episode (AMR) was reported for 1 patient approx. 9 months after transplantation. One (1) biopsy confirmed rejection episode reported in the current trial occurred in the feeder trial. Five (5) rejection episodes were not confirmed by biopsy.

Recording of occurrence of graft rejection episodes classified by Banff criteria (Haas et al 2018). The following criteria had to be fulfilled by the rejection episode to constitute an antibody-mediated rejection (AMR): * a biopsy was taken at the time of the graft rejection episode * histological evidence of an AMR was reported in the pathology report * presence of detectable levels of donor specific antibodies (DSAs) and/or evidence of antibody-mediated morphological changes in the kidney transplant at the time of the biopsy

Health related quality of life (HR-QoL) as evaluated by patient questionnaires EQ-5D-5 levels (5L) EQ-5D-5L index score values were calculated from individual health profiles by using the corresponding EQ-5D-5L crosswalk value set per country where a higher value correspond to better health. Index score value ranges per country: USA \[-0.109 - 1.000\], France \[-0.530 - 1.000\], Denmark \[-0.624 - 1.000\], since no index score values exist for Sweden, values for Denmark were used for patients from Sweden. The visual analogue scale (EQ VAS) score was graded from 0 (the worst imaginable health) to 100 (the best imaginable health), where higher scores correspond to better health.
