What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety of study treatment as determined by changes in vital signs, electrocardiographic assessments, clinical signs, and bio-analytical measures (e.g., blood chemistry, hematology), and reported adverse events following infusion

    Composite endpoint with multiple vital signs, ECGs, clinical assessments and bio-analytical lab measurements over the 90 day time frame.

    Time frame: 90 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean change in the number of HLA-Antibody specificities determined by single antigen bead assays

    Antibody testing Human leukocyte antigen- antibody (HLA-Ab) HLA Tissue Typing (screening visit only) Calculated Panel Reactive Antibody (CPRA)

    Time frame: 90 days

  2. Mean change in the overall strength of HLA-Antibody specificities determined by single antigen bead assays

    Antibody testing Human leukocyte antigen- antibody (HLA-Ab) HLA Tissue Typing (screening visit only) Calculated Panel Reactive Antibody (CPRA)

    Time frame: 90 days

  3. Mean change in the calculated panel reactive antibody (CPRA)

    Antibody testing

    Time frame: 90 days

  4. Percent of patients with an increase in number of HLA-Ab specificities determined by single antigen bead assays

    Antibody testing

    Time frame: 90 Days

  5. Percent of patients with an increase in CPRA

    Antibody testing

    Time frame: 90 Days

  6. Pharmacokinetic profile as determined from blood plasma over time (Tmax, Cmax, AUC, half-life, coefficient of variation, and the apparent elimination rate constant)

    Time frame: 22 Days

  7. Percent of patients with an increase in the overall strength of HLA-Antibodies

    Antibody testing

    Time frame: 90 Days
