This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of various doses of the anti‐CD40 monoclonal antibody bleselumab (ASKP1240) in de novo kidney transplant recipients receiving concomitant standard immunosuppression over 90 days post‐transplant. Transplant recipients were randomized (1:1:1:1:1) to bleselumab 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, or 500 mg, or placebo, in addition to standard maintenance immunosuppression.

Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a significant risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). While clinically‐manifest and higher‐grade (≥A2) ACR is generally treated with augmented immunosuppression, management of minimal (grade A1) ACR remains controversial. In our program, patients with subclinical and spirometrically‐stable A1 rejection (StA1R) are routinely not treated with augmented immunosuppression.

Clinical Transplantation
Primary graft failure (PGF) is an important contributor to early mortality, accounting for 41% of deaths within the first 30 days after heart transplantation (HT). Donor hypernatremia has been associated with PGF development. However, controversial data exist regarding the impact of sodium deregulation in patient survival after HT.

During a 10-year period, selected kidney, heart, lung, pancreas, liver, and composite tissue recipients were tested for CMV-specific CD8+ T cells immune competence (CMV-CD8+), as measured by enumeration, interferon-gamma production, and CD107a/b degranulation. Quantitative and functional data were used to assemble T-cell immune competence (TIC) score.
