Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with rituximab (anti-CD20, Rituxan®, MabThera®) in individuals who develop new anti-HLA antibodies after renal (kidney) transplant will promote longer-term survival of the transplanted kidney.The pilot study compares the use of rituximab (Rituxan®) + site-specific standard immunosuppression to placebo + site-specific standard immunosuppression in the treatment of circulating anti-HLA antibodies in subjects who develop de novo anti-HLA antibodies between 3-36 months after transplant.
