Abstract

Introduction

Imlifidase is authorized for desensitization of highly sensitized adult kidney transplant candidates with a positive crossmatch (XM) against a deceased donor. Here, we report on the results for the first 9 patients transplanted in this context who had at least 3 months of follow-up.

Methods

The eligibility criteria were as follows: calculated panel reactive antibodies (cPRA) ³ 98%, ³ 3 years on the waiting list, immunodominant donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) with mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) > 6000 (and < 5000 at 1:10 dilution) and a negative post-imlifidase complement-dependent cytotoxic XM (CDCXM).

Results

All 9 patients had been on dialysis for an average of 123 ± 41 months, with cPRA at 99% (n = 2) or 100% (n = 7). At transplantation, the mean number of DSAs was 4.3 ± 1.4. The median immunodominant DSA MFI was 9153 (6430–16,980). Flow cytometry XM (FCXM) and CDCXM before imlifidase were positive in 9 and 2 patients, respectively. After 1 injection of imlifidase, all were negative. Patients received polyclonal antibodies, i.v. Igs (IVIg), rituximab, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate. Five patients had a DSA rebound within the first 14 days: 2 had concomitant clinical antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), 2 had subclinical ABMR, and 1 had isolated positive C4d staining. No ABMR was observed in patients without rebound. Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration formula estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 56 ± 22 ml/min per 1.73 m² at the last follow-up (7 ± 2.8 months). No graft loss or death were observed. Four patients developed at least 1 infection.

Conclusion

These real-life data demonstrate that the use of imlifidase to desensitize highly sensitized patients can have an acceptable short-term efficacy and safety profile in selected patients.

伊立菲酶在与已故供体交叉配型阳性的高敏肾移植受者中的应用

伊立菲酶已获准用于对已故供体交叉配型（XM）阳性的高度致敏成人肾移植候选者进行脱敏治疗。在此，我们报告了在此背景下进行移植的首批 9 名患者的结果，这些患者至少接受了 3 个月的随访。资格标准如下：计算出的全组反应性抗体（cPRA）³ 98%，在等待名单上等待了³ 3 年，平均荧光强度（MFI）大于 6000（1:10 稀释时小于 5000）的免疫优势供体特异性抗体（DSA），以及免疫抑制酶后补体依赖性细胞毒性 XM（CDCXM）阴性。所有9名患者平均透析时间为123±41个月，cPRA为99%（=2）或100%（=7）。移植时，DSA 的平均数量为 4.3 ± 1.4。免疫优势 DSA MFI 中位数为 9153（6430-16980）。在注射伊立菲酶前，分别有 9 名和 2 名患者的流式细胞术 XM（FCXM）和 CDCXM 呈阳性。注射一次伊立菲酶后，所有患者均为阴性。患者接受了多克隆抗体、静脉注射 Igs（IVIg）、利妥昔单抗、他克莫司和霉酚酸酯治疗。五名患者在最初的14天内出现了DSA反弹：两名患者同时出现了临床抗体介导的排斥反应（ABMR），两名患者出现了亚临床ABMR，一名患者出现了孤立的C4d染色阳性。未出现反弹的患者未观察到 ABMR。慢性肾脏病流行病学协作组公式估算的肾小球滤过率（eGFR）在最后一次随访（7 ± 2.8 个月）时为 56 ± 22 ml/min per 1.73 m。未发现移植物丢失或死亡。四名患者至少发生了一次感染。这些真实数据表明，使用伊立菲酶对高度致敏患者进行脱敏治疗，在选定的患者中具有可接受的短期疗效和安全性。
