This is a prospective, multi-site, observational study with a matched control group. The primary objective is to evaluate change in renal function over time in recipients of kidney transplants who are undergoing OmniGrafTM monitoring in conjunction with patient medication-related burden monitoring.
The survival benefits of solid organ transplants in the United States are well documented. Improvements in immunosuppression, better anti-microbial agents, and other aspects of ancillary care have resulted in significant improvements in short- term outcomes; however, there has been little improvement in long-term graft loss. A more recent analysis found that 65% of hospital readmissions in kidney transplant recipients had adverse drug events (ADE) considered contributory, and ADE-associated readmissions had a significantly higher hazard or graft loss and death compared to patients with readmissions not associated with an ADE. Even with knowledge of ADEs, clinicians may be reluctant to adjust immunosuppressive medications due to concerns of rejection risk during the period of medication adjustment. The OmniGrafTM biomarker panel (Transplant Genomics, Inc, Framingham, MA) includes the TruGraf® peripheral blood expression profile and the TRAC donor-derived cell-free DNA(dd-cfDNA) test, which have demonstrated a strong ability to identify immune quiescence in stable patients post kidney transplant, with a NPV of 94% when both tests are negative and a PPV of 89% for subclinical rejection when both tests are positive. Because of the strong "rule out" capabilities of OmniGrafTM, it would be an ideal complement to real-time ADE knowledge to help guide clinicians' decisions to adjust, or not adjust, the immunosuppressive regimen, and help provide a dialogue between patients and clinicians on the risk-benefit of medication adjustments. The aim of this study is to evaluate change in renal function over time in recipients of kidney transplants who are undergoing OmniGrafTM monitoring in conjunction with patient medication-related burden monitoring.
