This is a Phase II, pilot, prospective, unicentric trial, to evaluate Imlifidase could improve the transplantability of the highly sensitized patients with good outcomes respect to survival and functionality of the graft.
The patients between 18 and 65 years will be flow cytometry crossmatch (FC-XM) positive against an available living donor. The imlifidase treatment will turn the crossmatch test negative prior to transplantation. A second dose of imlifidase can be given within 24 hours if the first dose is considered not to have sufficient effect. If a second dose is given, a confirmatory FCXM test will be performed pre-second imlifidase dosing and between 2-6 hours following the second dose.

* Imlifidase (POD0, pre-transplantation), imlifidase, 0.25 mg/kg over a period of 15 minutes, prior to transplantation. * Dose Adjustment Criteria FC-XM screening and single antigen will be performed after 6 hours of imlifidase infusion, It will take 3 hours to obtain the results, respectively: * NEGATIVE (FC-XM) - renal transplantation will be performed as soon as possible. * POSITIVE (FC-XM) - 2nd Imlifidase infusion will be required (imlifidase dose: 0.25mg/Kg). FC-XM screening and single antigen will be performed after 2 hours of the 2nd Imlifidase infusion: * NEGATIVE (FC-XM) - renal transplantation will be performed as soon as possible. * POSITIVE (FC-XM) - The scheduled kidney transplant will be canceled.
• Proportion of patients with conversion of a positive virtual crossmatch to negative within 6 hours after imlifidase treatment (up to two doses).
The fraction of patients with a conversion of a positive FC-XM within 6 hours of treatment with imlifidase.
Time frame: 6 hours
1. Proportion of patients that require a second dose of imlifidase
To evaluate flow cytometry T-cell crossmatch conversion within 24 hours of imlifidase treatment, requirement of a second dose of imlifidase.
Time frame: 24 hours
2. To evaluate the rebound of preexisting donor specific antibodies (DSA) (difference between MFI of each DSA daily - until D+14 - compared to pre-imlifidase administration)
Pre-existing DSA appearance measured daily until D+14
Time frame: daily, from day 0 to day 14
3. De novo DSA appearance over 14 days after imlifidase treatment
To evaluate the appearance of de novo DSAs (any DSA no present in pre-transplant or historical) daily - until D+14. To be considered positive the bead MFI should be over 750 and to be above the bead specific threshold related to the lowest bead of the same locus.
Time frame: daily, from day 0 to day 14
4. To evaluate HLA/DSA antibody levels up to 1 year after transplantation
HLA/DSA antibody levels at several time points between pre-dose imlifidase and 2 weeks, and at 1, 3 and 6 months and 1 year after imlifidase treatment
Time frame: time points between pre-dose imlifidase and 2 weeks, and at 1, 3 and 6 months and 1 year after imlifidase treatment
5. To evaluate renal function up to 1 year after transplantation

by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum/plasma creatinine levels
