NCT07006831

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to collect blood samples and data from kidney transplant patients. The samples and data will be used for research and development of non-invasive test to detect donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in kidney transplant patients to evaluate the status of the transplanted organ.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Detection of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) from whole blood

    Collected samples will be used for research and development of a noninvasive in- vitro diagnostic test to detect donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in kidney transplant patients.

Kidney Transplant Recipients

You may qualify if:

  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Is 18 years of age or older at enrollment
  • Had a kidney transplant prior to enrollment
  • Is having an indication (for cause) biopsy as determined by clinician
  • retrospective leftover samples are available from the kidney donor(s).

You may not qualify if:

  • Is pregnant
  • Had a blood transfusion within the past 4 weeks
  • Had a transplant from an identical (monozygotic) twin
  • Had transplants of multiple organs from the same donor (eg, kidney and liver transplant).
  • Had transplants of more than 2 organs from different donors (eg, recipient of a third kidney transplant)
  • Had a transplant of hematopoietic stem cells (eg, bone marrow) or tissue (eg, heart valve)
