Sensitization is common in pediatric heart transplant (HT) candidates. Waitlist mortality is high if a prospective -ve CDC-crossmatch (XM) is required, but HT across a +ve XM is considered high risk for rejection & graft loss. CTOTC-04 is a multicenter prospective study assessing the impact of pre-HT sensitization on HT outcomes. Methods: We prospectively recruited consecutive candidates (<21 yr) at 8 pediatric centers. Pts were categorized as non-sensitized (cohort A) or sensitized (cohort B) defined as pre-HT +ve Luminex screen with ≥1 anti-HLA Ab at ≥1000 MFI confirmed by single antigen beads. Cohort B XM +ve pts were identified at HT. Immunosuppression was standardized (thymoglobulin with tacrolimus/MMF maintenance). XM +ve pts also received periop Ab removal, maintenance steroids, IVIG. Primary endpoint was 1 yr incidence rate of composite of death, reHT, and rejection with hemodynamic compromise. Results:317 were screened, 290 consented & 240transplanted. Cohort A (n=97;40%) had mean age 7.0±6.8 yr at HT, 45% male and 34% with congenital heart disease (CHD). Cohort B (n=143;60%) comprised 16 XM +ve recipients 8.0±6.8 yr, 69% male, 81% CHD, and 127 XM -ve, 7.6±6.4 yr, 58% male, 49% CHD. Incidence rates of the primary endpoint did not statistically differ; cohort A 5.2% (CI:1.7%, 11.6%), cohort B +ve XM 12.5% (1.6%, 38.4%), cohort B -ve XM 11.8% (6.8%, 18.7%), p=0.161. Individual components of the primary endpoint did not differ, but 1-year incidence rate of AMR was higher in the +ve XM group (37.5%) compared to cohort A (4.1%) and cohort B -ve XM (15.0%), p≤0.001. Conclusions: In the short-term, the composite endpoint did not differ based on sensitization or XM status despite varying rates of AMR. Subsequent analyses will assess outcomes based on MFI of DSA and long-term follow-up will assess late graft / pt outcomes.
