Conditions:

Lung Transplantation

Eligibility:

All Genders

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

Background: People who have lung transplants often survive 6 or 7 years. But some people develop donor-specific antibodies (DSA) after their transplants; antibodies are proteins that attack foreign i...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Subjects who do not meet any of the following criteria during screening will not be randomized but will be counted toward study accrual. Screen failures may be rescreened at a later time if the reason for screening failure is revised. In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:
  • First time LT recipients
  • Have provided signed written informed consent, prior to performing any study procedure, including screening procedures.
  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years
  • Patients who first test positive for class II DSA between day 21 and day 180 post-transplantation, and screened within 14 days of first testing positive.
  • No prior demonstration of DSA
  • Demonstrate no clinical or spirometry signs of allograft dysfunction at the time of enrollment.
  • Have adequate liver function, as defined by:
  • Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \<=1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) (unless the increased AST is assessed by the Investigator as due to hemolysis) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \<=1.5 x ULN.
  • Absolute neutrophil count \>=1.0 x 10\^9/L.
  • Hemoglobin \>= 9 g/dL
  • For women of reproductive potential, have a negative serum pregnancy test during the screening period. Women of reproductive potential are defined as sexually mature women who have not undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal occlusion; or who have not been naturally postmenopausal (i.e., who have not menstruated at all for at least the preceding 1 year prior to signing informed consent unrelated to hormonal contraception).
  • For women of reproductive potential, be abstinent as part of their usual lifestyle, or agree to use 2 effective forms of contraception from the time of giving informed consent, during the study, and for 28 days following the last dose of study treatment. An effective form of contraception is defined as hormonal oral contraceptives, injectables, patches, intrauterine or subdermal contraceptive implants, and barrier methods.
  • Be willing to comply with all study procedures for the duration of the study.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
  • Have a significant medical condition that confers an unacceptable risk to participating in the study, and/or that could confound the interpretation of the study data. Such significant medical conditions include, but are not limited to the following:
  • History of neutropenia (benign ethnic neutropenia and/or acquired neutropenia).
  • History of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES)
  • History of poorly controlled hypertension or hypertensive crises (defined as systolic blood pressure \>=180 mmHg or average diastolic blood pressure \>=120 mmHg based on an average of 3 blood pressure readings despite adequate antihypertensive therapy) unless controlled for \>90 days prior to enrollment.
  • History of positive post-transplant active hepatitis C and/or hepatitis B viral infection.
  • History of drug-induced cholestatic hepatitis.
  • History of any primary malignancy, with the exception of: curatively treated nonmelanomatous skin cancer; curatively treated cervical or breast carcinoma in situ; or other primary tumor treated with curative intent, no known active disease present, and no treatment administered during the last 5 years.
  • Testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus 1 or 2 Ab with evidence for ongoing active infection (i.e., CD 4 count \<400/microliter and viral load \>100,000 copies/ml) on antiretroviral therapy.
  • Current or recent history of psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor, could compromise the ability of the subject to cooperate with study visits and procedures.
  • Are currently enrolled in another therapeutic clinical trial involving ongoing therapy with any investigational or marketed product or placebo.
  • Having had a prior lung or any organ transplant.
  • Currently pregnant or lactating.
  • Estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) rate less than 30 mL/min.
  • Current or history of grade 3 diarrhea.
  • Subjects on strong CYP3A4 inducers.
  • Subjects who have received prior treatment for DSA.
