Novel Desensitization Kidney Transplantation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This proposal's objective is to determine whether belatacept, in conjunction with a proteasome inhibitor can be used to safely increase the likelihood of finding an acceptable donor for highly HLA sensitized kidney transplant candidates.

Official Title

Novel Desensitization Protocol With Proteasome Inhibitor and Costimulation Blockade for Highly Sensitized Patients to Allow for Successful Kidney Transplantation. A Pilot Study.
