HOPE in Action Prospective Multicenter, Clinical Trial of Deceased HIVD+ Kidney Transplants for HIV+ Recipients

Johns Hopkins University207 enrolled

Overview

The primary objective of this study is to determine if an HIV-infected deceased kidney donor (HIVD+) transplant is safe with regards to major transplant-related and HIV-related complications.

This study will evaluate if receiving a kidney transplant from an HIV-infected deceased kidney donor is safe with regards to survival and major transplant-related and HIV-related complications compared to receiving a kidney from an HIV-uninfected deceased kidney donor (HIVD-). Those participants who have accepted an HIVD- organ will be randomized to be followed in the full study or followed in the nested observational group.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant meets the standard criteria for kidney transplant at the local center. * Participant is able to understand and provide informed consent. * Participant meets with an independent advocate per the HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act Safeguards. * Documented HIV infection (by any licensed assay, or documented history of detectable HIV-1 RNA). * Participant is ≥18 years old. * Opportunistic complications: if prior history of an opportunistic infection, the participant has received appropriate therapy and has no evidence of active disease. * Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4)+ T-cell: ≥200/µL within 16 weeks of transplant. * HIV-1 is below 50 copies RNA/mL. Viral blips between 50-400 copies allowed as long as there are not consecutive measurements \>200 copies/mL. * Participant is willing to comply with all medication related to their transplant and HIV management. * For participant with a history of aspergillus colonization or disease, no evidence of active disease. * The participant must have, or be willing to start seeing, a primary medical care provider with expertise in HIV management. * All participants participating in sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy must use an FDA approved method of birth control. * Participant is not suffering from significant wasting (e.g. body mass index \<21) thought to be related to HIV disease. Exclusion Criteria: * Participant has a history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) or primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. * Participant is pregnant or breastfeeding. * Past or current medical problems or findings from medical history, physical examination or laboratory testing that are not listed above, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks or may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Composite Event, Time to First Death or Graft Failure or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or HIV Breakthrough or Opportunistic Infection

Time to first of any of the following events: death or graft failure or serious adverse event (SAE) or HIV breakthrough or HIV virologic failure or opportunistic infection

Time frame: From date of transplant through administrative censorship at study completion, up to 4 years

Secondary Outcomes

Pre-transplant Mortality

Cumulative incidence of mortality while enrolled before transplant

Time frame: At 1 and 2 years post-consent, prior to transplant

Graft Failure

Cumulative incidence of graft failure

Time frame: At 1 and 3 years post transplant

Rate of Serious Adverse Events

Count of post-transplant serious adverse events per person-year as assessed by Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Version 2.0

Time frame: From date of transplant through graft failure or administrative censorship at study completion, up to year 4

6-month Acute Rejection

Percentage of recipients who experience acute rejection as measured by biopsy using Banff 2015 criteria: Borderline changes: 'Suspicious' for acute T-cell mediated rejection.This category is used when no intimal arteritis is present, but there are foci of mild tubulitis (t1, t2, or t3) with minor interstitial infiltration (i0 or i1) or interstitial infiltration (i2, i3) with mild (t1) tubulitis. Acute T-cell mediated rejection:Grade from IA defined as cases with significant interstitial infiltration (\>25% of parenchyma affected, i2 or i3) and foci of moderate tubulitis (t2) to III defined as cases with 'transmural' arteritis and/or arterial fibrinoid change and necrosis of medial smooth muscle cells with accompanying lymphocytic inflammation (v3). Outcome data of the observational group were obtained from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (September 2023 data export).

Incidence of Graft Rejection

Cumulative incidence of acute rejection as measured by biopsy using Banff 2015 criteria: Borderline changes: 'Suspicious' for acute T-cell mediated rejection.This category is used when no intimal arteritis is present, but there are foci of mild tubulitis (t1, t2, or t3) with minor interstitial infiltration (i0 or i1) or interstitial infiltration (i2, i3) with mild (t1) tubulitis.
