Brief Summary

Solid organ transplantation is an important therapeutic option for children with a variety of end stage diseases. However, the same immunosuppressive medications that are required to prevent the child's immune system from attacking and rejecting the transplanted organ can predispose these individuals to developing a very serious cancer that is linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Positive Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders (PTLD)

    The development of EBV positive PTLD during the study period as assessed by the local site pathologist, with confirmation of the PTLD diagnosis by the Study Clinicopathological Review Board (SCPRB)

    Receipt of transplanted organ(s) to confirmation of EBV-positive PTLD, up to year 4 post - enrollment

  • Specified Gain-of-Function Mutations in EBV Latent Membrane Protein 1 (LMP-1)

    Specified gain-of-function mutations in EBV LMP-1 (e.g., corresponding to EBV LMP-1 variants G212S or S366T) detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method

    Receipt of transplanted organ(s) to confirmation of mutations in EBV LMP1 , up to year 4 post - enrollment

  • Pathogenic Changes in B Cell Clonotype Development

    Pathogenic changes in B cell clonotype development as assessed using high throughput sequencing (HTS)

    Receipt of transplanted organ(s) to confirmation of changes in B cell clonotype development, up to year 4 post - enrollment

Study Arms (2)

Subjects Enrolled Pre-Transplant

Subjects (N=approximately 357) Enrolled Pre-Transplant * Subjects with evidence of EBV infection prior to transplant * Subjects without evidence of EBV infection prior to transplant, who are at risk of developing EBV infection after transplant

Procedure: transplantDrug: Immunosuppressive Drugs

Subjects Enrolled Post-Transplant

Subjects (N=approximately 588) Enrolled 3 Yrs Post-Transplant * Subjects with evidence of EBV infection prior to transplant * Subjects without evidence of EBV infection prior to transplant, who are at risk of developing EBV infection after transplant

Procedure: transplantDrug: Immunosuppressive Drugs

Interventions

transplantPROCEDURE

All subjects enrolled in this study are candidates for/recipients of solid organ transplants as a therapeutic for end stage diseases (e.g., heart, liver, heart with liver, kidney, small intestine, or liver with small intestine transplants).

Also known as: transplantation
Subjects Enrolled Post-TransplantSubjects Enrolled Pre-Transplant

Immunosuppressive drugs prescribed as standard of care to prevent rejection of the allograft.

Also known as: Immunosuppressive Medications

Study Population

Pediatric Candidates for or recipients of heart, liver, heart with liver, kidney, small intestine, or liver with small intestine at participating major pediatric solid organ transplant programs

You may qualify if:

  • Subject and/or parent or legal guardian must be able to understand and provide informed consent/assent;
  • Candidate for or recipient of: heart, liver, heart with liver, small intestine, liver with small intestine, or kidney; and
  • Subject enrolled within 3 years of transplant.

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous diagnosis of PTLD;
  • Transplant recipients of lung alone, or in combination with an eligible organ type;
  • Pancreas transplantation with the exception of 'en bloc' transplant in combined liver and small intestine multivisceral transplantation;
  • History of any previous solid organ, stem cell, or bone marrow transplantation;
  • Inability or unwillingness of the legal guardian and/or the subject to comply with the study protocol.
