Summary

This study looked at whether a blood test called AlloSure can identify kidney transplant patients who can safely switch from several anti-rejection drugs to just one, belatacept. 25 adult kidney transplant recipients with stable kidney function were enrolled. The goal was to see if the test could predict who could handle the drug reduction without rejecting their new kidney.
