In plain English

This study looks at the safety, how the drug moves through the body, and whether AT 1501 works in adults having their first kidney transplant. It aims to help prevent rejection of the new kidney. It is run by Eledon Pharmaceuticals.

Who can take part

  • Adults aged 18 or over, male or female
  • People having their first kidney transplant, from either a living or deceased donor
  • Agreeing to use contraception during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose of the study drug

Who may not be able to

  • Planning induction therapy other than the study-assigned rATG (rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin, a drug that dampens the immune system)
  • Currently taking drugs that suppress the immune system, except up to 5 mg of prednisone (a steroid) or equivalent daily
  • Previous treatment with AT 1501 or any other anti-CD40LG therapy
  • Previous bone marrow transplant or any solid organ transplant, including a kidney, or having a multi-organ or dual kidney transplant
  • Receiving a kidney expected to have a cold storage (ischaemia) time over 30 hours
  • Receiving a kidney from a donor who died after their heart stopped (donation after cardiac death), or who meets 'extended criteria' (for example, aged 60 or over, or aged 50-59 with two of: death from a stroke, history of high blood pressure, or high creatinine levels), or whose blood group does not match yours
  • Having a donor who is an exact tissue (human leukocyte antigen, HLA) match
  • Medical conditions needing long-term steroid doses above 5 mg prednisone or equivalent per day
  • Past blood clot (thromboembolic event), a known clotting tendency, or needing long-term blood-thinning medicine
  • A positive T- or B-cell crossmatch caused by HLA antibodies, or having donor-specific antibodies at screening

What taking part involves

  • • Taking the study drug AT 1501 — details of how it is given and how often are not stated — ask the trial team
  • • Receiving rATG (rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin) as part of the study treatment
  • • Any other parts of the treatment are not stated — ask the trial team

Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team about study visits, how long the study lasts, and what taking part involves.

About This Trial

This study will evaluate the safety, PK, and efficacy of AT 1501 in patients undergoing kidney transplantation.

More detail

This study will evaluate the safety, PK, and efficacy of AT 1501 in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Up to 48 de novo kidney transplant recipients will receive AT-1501 in combination with rATG induction with corticosteroids (CS), and mycophenolate as maintenance therapy.
