Description

Despite recent efforts to improve donor kidney allocation for highly sensitized patients, many fail to receive a transplant and waitlist mortality remains high. There is a need for effective desensitization regimens that can facilitate donor transplantation by reducing the risk of antibody-mediated rejection in highly sensitized recipients.
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) x cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) bispecific antibodies have shown effective depletion of plasma cells and immunoglobulins in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. In the context of desensitization, we hypothesize that plasma cell depletion may reduce transplant-precluding alloantibody levels with less rebound than existing desensitization strategies.
In a multicenter US-based dose escalation Phase 1 and proof-of-concept study (NCT05092347), we are investigating a single cycle (3 doses over 15 days) of BCMAxCD3 monotherapy for desensitization of patients with calculated panel-reactive antibody (cPRA) levels ≥99.9 (or >98 in patients with ≥5 years on the transplant waitlist). Two different BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibodies (REGN5459 or REGN5458) with different CD3 affinity will be evaluated.
The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of REGN5459 and REGN5458 to reduce human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody levels in highly sensitized patients with chronic kidney disease, assessed over 6 months. Secondary objectives include determining dosing regimen(s) that result in a clinically meaningful reduction of anti-HLA alloantibody levels, the effect on cPRA levels and circulating immunoglobulin isotypes, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity.
In a companion study (NCT05106387), patients enrolled in NCT05092347 who receive a kidney transplant will be followed for 1 year to assess rates of adverse events, graft survival, rates and classification of rejection, and emergence of anti-HLA alloantibodies.
