Summary

This study tested a drug called imlifidase in 113 highly sensitized kidney patients who had a positive crossmatch against a deceased donor. The drug was given before transplant to reduce the risk of rejection. The main goal was to see how many patients still had a working kidney one year after transplant. Results were compared to less sensitized patients who did not receive the drug.
