Evaluation of the Safety of Use of Anti-IL6 Receptor Antibodies to Reduce Allo-sensitization Post Allograft Nephrectomy

NCT04779957 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Graft nephrectomy is associated with massive allo-sensitization following this event. The occurrence of anti-HLA antibodies is a major barrier to perform a second kidney transplantation. Investigators propose here to evaluate in a phase II pilot study, the safety of the use of a single dose of Tocilizumab immediately before or after graft nephrectomy. The primary endpoint evaluated here is the occurrence of serious infectious complications following graft nephrectomy, with a treatment by Tocilizumab. Secondary endpoints evaluated here are - to evaluate all complications after graft nephrectomy, - and the Tocilizumab effectiveness to reduce anti-HLA antibodies at one year post nephrectomy.

Conditions

  • Kidney Transplantation
  • Graft Failure

Interventions

DRUG

Tocilizumab

Tocilizumab will be administered at 8 mg/kg before or immediately after graft nephrectomy.
