An unmet medical need exists for therapeutic regimens in transplantation that allow immediate postoperative graft function, thereby improving graft survival. Delayed graft function (DGF) after transplantation is the most common complication affecting kidney allographs in the immediate transplant period. The specific aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of recombinant human C1-inhibitor (rhC1INH), as a kidney recipient intra- and post operative treatment strategy to decrease systemic inflammation and decrease the incidence of DGF from donation after cardiac death donors (DCD).
This is a randomized, single-center double blinded study.
The main objective of this study are to determine the ability of rhC1INH to reduce the incidence and severity of delayed graft function in comparison to placebo in recipients of kidneys after cardio-circulatory determination of death (DCD).
This trial has specifically been designed to evaluate the protective effect of rhC1INH treatment in patients at high risk of developing DGF. The selection of potential donors to be part of this study will be limited to the population of DCD donors which have historically shown a risk of developing DGF ranging between 40-55%. Participation in each group will be randomly assigned. Treatment will be administered by an intra-operative infusion of placebo or rhC1INH (100 Units/kg) IV followed by twice a day infusion of 50 Units/Kg IV for the following 48 hours.
A total of 20 subjects will be divided into 2 groups:
Group 1: Control group: standard recipient management + placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride IV to equal volume of investigational arm: intraoperatively, and then every 12 hours x 2 = total of 3 doses). treatment (n=10) Group 2: Standard recipient management + 100 U/kg intraoperative followed by 50 U/kg every 12 hours x 2 = total of 3 doses (200 U/kg).
Max dose 8400 units for the initial dose and 4200 units maximum for the second and third doses.

Exclusion Criteria for Transplant Recipients:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
