Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Dual Costimulation Blockade With VIB4920 and Belatacept for Prophylaxis of Allograft Rejection in Adults Receiving a Kidney Transplant (NCT NCT04046549)

NCT ID: NCT04046549

Last Updated: 2024-12-27

Results Overview

Histological grading of acute allograft rejection from biopsy specimens was based on Banff criteria 2017. Grade IA: Moderate tubulitis and at least moderate total cortical inflammation and at least moderate scarred cortical inflammation and other known causes ruled out. Grade IB: Severe tubulitis and at least moderate total cortical inflammation and at least moderate scarred cortical inflammation and other known causes ruled out. Grade II. Arterial intimal fibrosis with mononuclear cell inflammation, formation of neointima.

The diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection was based on Banff criteria 2017 - a set of standardized guidelines used by pathologists and clinicians to diagnose and classify rejection based on specific features observed in biopsy samples from the transplanted organ, such as the presence of certain types of immune cells, inflammation, and injury patterns.
