- VitaGraft Kidney was used to monitor graft injury in a phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled study ( NCT05021484 ) of the investigational drug felzartamab, a fully human CD38 monoclonal antibody, for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), a leading cause of kidney allograft failure.
- VitaGraft Kidney measures the amount of DNA in transplant patients’ blood that comes from the donor organ, a key biomarker for assessing graft health.
- This process is commonly referred to as donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) testing and is widely used in clinical practice today.
