The current gold standard for the rejection diagnosis is a renal biopsy which is usually performed upon an unexplained decline in the graft function (determined by serum creatinine or clearance). Because of the insensitivity of creatinine determinations and the invasiveness of renal biopsies, non-invasive tests have been suggested to diagnose acute rejection including mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of urine samples.\n\nThe ability of MS analysis to detect acute rejection has been demonstrated in small studies on selected patients but evidence is lacking that this test is efficacious in the routine setting of the post-transplant patient care. Based on our previous work that established urine peptide sets for acute rejection by MS, a prospective, multicentre diagnostic phase III study will be executed.\n\nThe aim of the study is to prove that this test is as equally effective as the allograft biopsy to detect acute rejection in patients that undergo a biopsy for unexplained renal dysfunction. The perspective of this approach is that the test could be used either in place of the biopsy or as decision guidance whether a biopsy is necessary to confirm the presence of rejection. Another perspective is that the MS test (respectively, a simplified test system derived from this method) could be used in the regular post-transplant surveillance for acute rejection, in place of the relatively insensitive procedure with periodic monitoring of the graft function by creatinine determinations.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Patients with a kidney or combined kidney/pancreas transplantation from several German transplant centres with an acute unexplained allograft dysfunction within the first year of transplantation who require a clinically indicated allograft biopsy', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adult patients with a kidney or combined kidney/pancreas transplantation\n* Unexplained renal allograft dysfunction within the first year of transplantation\n* Renal allograft biopsy, which is clinically indicated to verify or exclude an acute rejection\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Lacking consent of the patient to participate in the study'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01315067', 'briefTitle': 'Diagnosis of Acute Rejection in Renal Transplant Patients by Urine Mass Spectrometry', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Hannover Medical School'}, 'officialTitle': 'Non-invasive Diagnosis of Acute Rejection in Renal Transplant Patients Using Mass Spectrometry of Urine Samples - a Multicentre Diagnostic Phase III Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'MS-GW4/6-1'}}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '52074', 'city': 'Aachen', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'RTW University of Aachen', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.77664, 'lon': 6.08342}}, {'zip': '10117', 'city': 'Berlin', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'Charite Universitätsmedizin Berlin', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 52.52437, 'lon': 13.41053}}, {'zip': '51109', 'city': 'Cologne', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'Kliniken der Stadt Köln gGmbH', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.93333, 'lon': 6.95}}, {'zip': '90154', 'city': 'Erlangen', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'University of Erlangen-Nuremberg', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 49.59099, 'lon': 11.00783}}, {'zip': '45147', 'city': 'Essen', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'Universitätsklinikum Essen', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 51.45657, 'lon': 7.01228}}, {'zip': '30625', 'city': 'Hanover', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'Hannover Medical School', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 52.37052, 'lon': 9.73322}}, {'zip': '07747', 'city': 'Jena', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'Universitätsklinikum Jena', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.92878, 'lon': 11.5899}}, {'zip': '81377', 'city': 'München', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitätsklinik München', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 51.60698, 'lon': 13.31243}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Wilfried Gwinner, Prof. /MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Hannover Medical School'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Hannover Medical School', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Prof. Dr. med.', 'investigatorFullName': 'Wilfried Gwinner', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Hannover Medical School'}}}, 'annotationSection': {'annotationModule': {'unpostedAnnotation': {'unpostedEvents': [{'date': '2022-04-21', 'type': 'RELEASE'}, {'date': '2023-01-25', 'type': 'RESET'}], 'unpostedResponsibleParty': 'Wilfried Gwinner, Prof. Dr. med., Hannover Medical School'}}}}
