New hope for kidney transplant patients: extended drug trial targets rejection
NCT ID NCT07444489
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study offers kidney transplant patients with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) the chance to receive felzartamab for up to 4 more years. AMR occurs when the immune system attacks the new kidney. The main goal is to check long-term safety and monitor kidney health through biopsies and lab tests. Participants who already received felzartamab in a prior study can join, while those who stopped the drug will only be monitored.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Have completed the parent study Week 52 visit or will be completing Week 52 visit procedures (for participants who sign consent before reaching the Week 52 visit). * Have received at least one dose of felzartamab in the parent studies, and had the following disposition status in the parent study: * Ongoing Treatment: Did not discontinue felzartamab treatment in the parent study and received a dose at the Week 44 visit. * Treatment Interrupted: Did not discontinue felzartamab treatment in the parent study and did not receive a dose at the Week 44 visit. * Off Treatment, On Study: Discontinued felzartamab treatment in the parent study and were not withdrawn from the study. Participants who discontinued study treatment prior to receiving any doses of felzartamab in the parent study (i.e., those in the placebo group who discontinued before receiving felzartamab) are not eligible for enrollment in this substudy. * For participants enrolling into this study who have not discontinued felzartamab treatment in the parent study only: The Investigator has determined that the participant could benefit from continued felzartamab treatment. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Met a treatment discontinuation criterion in the parent study but treatment was not discontinued (for example, because the criterion was met after the last dose of felzartamab in the parent study). Note: Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply.
