NCT ID:
NCT05300451
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to learn about how well the drug daratumumab/hyaluronidase-fihj (DARZALEX Faspro™) helps to lower high levels of HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) antibodies in a person waiting for a heart transplant.
Detailed Description:
Daratumumab is an IgG1k, CD38-targeting monoclonal antibody, and the IV formulation was United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in 2015 for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Daratumumab has not been approved for the indication being studied in this current trial and has been granted investigational new drug (IND) approval by the FDA (IND 157466) for use in this research.
Subjects treated for HLA desensitization will be in the study for 16 weeks. Each subject will receive daratumumab/hyaluronidase-fihj 1800mg/30000u subcutaneously once a week for 8 weeks.
Subjects will have close follow-up for several weeks afterwards with usual testing to monitor for rejection after transplantation. This includes echocardiograms, heart biopsy or MRI and blood tests.
Janssen Biotech, Inc. is providing the daratumumab/hyaluronidase-fihj (DARZALEX Faspro™) for the study.
