Summary

This is an exploratory, multicenter, single-arm study designed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative Vonoprazan Fumarate in reducing the incidence of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) in deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients. DGF is a common early complication that significantly impacts graft function and long-term transplant survival. This study aims to explore how Vonoprazan Fumarate, a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), can potentially improve macrophage phagocytic function, reduce kidney inflammation, and enhance early kidney function recovery.

Patients aged 18 years and older who are undergoing first-time deceased-donor kidney transplantation will be enrolled. Vonoprazan Fumarate will be administered daily starting on the day of transplantation and continuing for seven days post-surgery. The primary endpoint is DGF incidence, while secondary endpoints include kidney function recovery, serum creatinine reduction, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and safety assessments. Adverse events will be monitored, and the study will also explore potential biomarkers for inflammation and graft function.

The study is expected to provide insights into a potential new therapeutic strategy to reduce DGF and improve early kidney transplant outcomes, potentially benefiting future kidney transplant patients by offering a safer and more effective perioperative treatment option.

Conditions

  • Delayed Graft Function
  • Kidney Transplantation

Interventions

DRUG

Vonoprazan fumarate

Phase Ib: A dose escalation study will be initiated with vonoprazan fumarate 20 mg once daily (qd). Two dose groups are planned: 20 mg qd and 20 mg twice daily (bid). According to a "3+3" dose escalation scheme, the first three subjects will receive vonoprazan fumarate 20 mg qd orally, starting on the day of kidney transplantation and continuing until postoperative day 7. Safety and tolerability will be assessed from the day of transplantation through postoperative days 7 and 28. Phase II: An expansion study will be conducted at the recommended Phase II dose of vonoprazan fumarate to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the regimen. Vonoprazan fumarate will be administered orally, starting on the day of kidney transplantation and continuing daily until postoperative day 7. Throughout both the Phase Ib and Phase II stages, all recipients will receive the center's standard immunosuppressive regimen.
