There are no approved treatments for chronic antibody mediated rejection (ABMR). We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) combined with rituximab (RTX) (EudraCT 2010-023746-67). Patients with transplant glomerulopathy and anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) were eligible. Patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <20 mL/min per 1.73m(2) and/or severe interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy were excluded. Patients were randomized to receive IVIG (4 doses of 0.5g/kg) and RTX (375mg/m(2)) or a wrapped isovolumetric saline infusion. Primary efficacy variable was the decline of eGFR at one year. Secondary efficacy variables included evolution of proteinuria, renal lesions, and DSA at 1 year. The planned sample size was 25 patients per group. During 2012-2015, 25 patients were randomized (13 to the treatment and 12 to the placebo group). The planned patient enrollment was not achieved because of budgetary constraints and slow patient recruitment. There were no differences between the treatment and placebo groups in eGFR decline (-4.214.4 vs. -6.6 +/- 12.0 mL/min per 1.73 m(2), P-value=.475), increase of proteinuria (+0.9 +/- 2.1 vs. +0.9 +/- 2.1g/day, P-value=.378), Banff scores at one year and MFI of the immunodominant DSA. Safety was similar between groups. These data suggest that the combination of IVIG and RTX is not useful in patients displaying transplant glomerulopathy and DSA. Intravenous immunoglobulins and rituximab did not modify glomerular filtration rate decline, daily proteinuria, HLA donor-specific antibody intensity, and graft histological damage at one year in a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
