Risk Factors for Antibody-Mediated Rejection after Adult Liver Transplantation with Preformed Donor-Specific Antibodies: A Single Center Experience
Div. of HBP Surgery and Transplantation, Dept. of Surgery, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
*Purpose: In general, preformed donor-specific antibodies (pDSAs) can lead to an increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR); however, their prevalence, risk factors, and the efficacy…2020 American Transplant Congress
Desensitization Combining Costimulation Blockade with Proteasome Inhibition in Highly Sensitized Transplant Candidates
*Purpose: Antibodies to human leukocyte antigens (HLA) pose a significant barrier to transplantation. Strategies to reduce allosensitization have modest efficacy and may result in antibody…2020 American Transplant Congress
Kidneys from Pediatric Donors Are Preferentially Allocated to Adult Highly Sensitized and Not to Pediatrics Under the New Kidney Allocation System (KAS)
*Purpose: In 12/2014, the new Kidney Allocation System (KAS) assigned allocation priority to highly sensitized (HS) recipients while maintaining access to donors for pediatric patients…2020 American Transplant Congress
Blocking Complement Component C3 in a Sensitized Nonhuman Primate Model of Kidney Allotransplantation
*Purpose: Sensitized transplant recipients represent a challenge due to the presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA), which increase the risk of antibody-mediated rejection. Complement inhibition has…2020 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of HLAi Transplant in CPRA 98-100 after Desensitization: Single Center Experience
1Cedars Sinai Medical Ctr, Los Angeles, CA, 2Pathology, Cedars Sinai Medical Ctr, Los Angeles, CA

Third and Fourth Kidney Re-Transplants: A 20-Year Single Centre Experience
*Purpose: Re-transplantation may be associated with management dilemmas including repeat allocation of limited kidney allografts to same individuals in the face of an increasing waiting…2020 American Transplant Congress
Anti-HLA IgM Antibodies are Unaffected by Imlifidase (IdeS) Treatment
*Purpose: The immunoglobulin G (IgG)-degrading cysteine protease, imlifidase (IdeS) is an IgG endopeptidase under development as a rapid desensitization treatment in kidney transplantation. Imlifidase is…2020 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Post-Transplant Desensitization in High Immunological Risk Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA
*Purpose: The kidney allocation system (KAS) was changed in 2015 to increase access to transplants for highly sensitized patients. However, recent data suggests that even…2020 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of the Safety and Tolerability of Clazakizumab® as a Desensitization Agent in Highly-HLA Sensitized ESRD Patients (NCT03380962): 12m Follow-Up
*Purpose: IL-6 mediates inflammation and activation of T-cells, B-cells & plasma cells. Thus, IL-6 may represent an important target for desensitization (DES). Here we report…
