Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will compare the performance of Gene Expression Profile (GEP)/ Donor derived cell free deoxyribonucleic acid (dd-cfDNA) tests, to the following tests: Molecular Microscope (MMDx) and histopathology (study of changes in tissues caused by disease) in their ability to diagnose (exactly identify) various types of injury within the transplanted kidney.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will evaluate the performance of the blood-based assays like gene expression panel (GEP), and donor derived cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) against tissue-based assays like molecular microscope (MMDX) and histopathology in their ability to more accurately detect presence of rejection among kidney transplant recipients deemed at higher than usual risk for immunologic injury i.e., rejection.

Furthermore, the study should shed light on the ability of the different blood- based assays to accurately discern between the different types of rejection (early cellular versus humoral) against such confirmed by histopathology and molecular microscope.

The study will also shed light on the ability of these noninvasive biomarkers to be utilized as a tool of immunomodulation in addition to studying their ability to accurately confirm presence of adequately treated rejection among the recipients of kidney transplant.
