An interventional study of Prospera Immunosuppression Optimization in Kidney Transplant and Immunosuppresion, sponsored by Natera, Inc.. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-22.
Sponsored by Natera, Inc. · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
IMPAKT is a research study that looks at whether a blood test called Prospera™ can help doctors better adjust anti-rejection medications, compared to the usual way doctors manage these medications without using this test.
The IMPAKT study is a multi-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which stable low-risk kidney transplant (Tx) recipients receiving maintenance immunosuppression with tacrolimus, MPA dosage with or without corticosteroids will be randomized to the Immunosuppression optimization (Test) arm or the Standard of Care (SoC) Immunosuppression (Control) arm.
Participants will be enrolled at three months posttransplant and monitored with routine standard of care treatment and monthly Prospera blood draws from enrollment to 6 months posttransplant. All subjects will follow their center's SoC immunosuppressive therapy (IST) from enrollment to 6 months post-transplant. Subjects will be randomized at 6 months post-transplant to either the Test arm versus the Control arm.
The test arm will include participants who are managed with routine clinical care, along with a standardized dd-cfDNA protocol, to guide optimization of immunosuppression dosages. The control arm will include subjects who are managed with routine clinical care and receiving the standard of care (SoC) immunosuppression. This RCT will compare a hierarchical composite end point between the test and the control arm at 24 months post-transplant.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
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.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
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.
Corticosteroids (steroids)
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Diagnostic Test: Prospera Immunosuppression Optimization
The test arm will include participants who are managed with routine clinical care, along with a standardized dd-cfDNA protocol, to guide optimization of immunosuppression dosages.
Tier 1: Compare the number of randomized participants who experienced death related to allograft, using a win ratio hierarchical endpoint
The rate of death, defined as related to the allograft, in the test and control arms will be calculated and compared.
Time frame: From enrollment to 24 months post-transplant
Tier 2: Compare the number of randomized participants who experienced death censored graft loss (retransplant or return to dialysis), using a win ratio hierarchical endpoint
The rate of graft loss, defined as return to dialysis and/or retransplant, in the test and control arms will be calculated and compared.
Time frame: From enrollment to 24 months post-transplant
Tier 3: Compare the number of randomized participants who experienced eGFR decline >30% between 6 and 24 months, using a win ratio hierarchical endpoint.
The eGFR measurement will be calculated using the 2021 CKD-EPI formula without race.
Time frame: From enrollment to 24 months post-transplant
Tier 4: Compare the number of randomized participants who experienced biopsy proven rejection requiring treatment with intravenous medications, using a win ratio hierarchical endpoint.
The rate of biopsy proven rejection by histology and the rate of treated rejection in the two arms between months 6 and 24 will be measured and compared.
Time frame: From enrollment to 24 months post-transplant
Tier 5: Compare the number of randomized participants who experienced transplant-related hospitalization ≥2 nights not related to biopsy proven rejection, using a win ratio hierarchical endpoint.
The average number of nights spent at an inpatient facility for graft-related issues, but not including biopsy proven rejection, by subjects in the test and control arms will be measured and compared.
Time frame: From enrollment to 24 months post-transplant
Tier 6: Compare the number of randomized participants who developed de novo DSA after 6 months, and by 24 months, using a win ratio hierarchical endpoint.
The rate of de novo DSA, in the test and control arms will be calculated and compared.
Time frame: From enrollment to 24 months post-transplant
Tier 7: Compare the number of randomized participants who experienced adverse outcome (AO), defined as GI Toxicity, Leukopenia, and/or Infection, using a win ratio hierarchical endpoint.
The Adverse Outcome (AO) rate at 24 months post-Tx will be compared between the test arm and the control arm, with the list of events qualifying as AO comprising: GI toxicity, leukopenia, and infection.
Time frame: From enrollment to 24 months post-transplant
