1 Treatment of Chronic Antibody Mediated Rejection Robert A. Montgomery MD, DPhil Professor of Surgery Director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute Disclosures: Served on Advisory Boards for Genentech Scientific/ROCHE, True North/iPierian, Alexion, Novartis, and Hansa Medical Received consulting fees from OrbidMed, GuidePoint Global, Sucampo, Astellas,and Shire Received research grants from Immune Tolerance Network, ViroPharma,Hansa, and Alexion. I have been involved in clinical trial design for some of the off label drugs I will be discussing. Objectives To understand the phenotypes and natural history of untreated chronic AMR and its effect on graft survival. To gain an appreciation for treatment modalities that have a mechanism of action that might prove effective for reversing chronic AMR or prolonging allograft half-life. 1

2 De Novo HLA DSA is Common and Leads to Graft Failure 1 Years post-transplant 1 Mao, et al. Am J Transplant Apr;7(4): Development of De Novo HLA DSA is Associated With Allograft Loss 1 Graft survival of patients with de novo DSA versus those without 1 Wiebe C et al. Am J Transplant. 2012;12: AMR Is Associated With A Poor Outcome 1 1 Lefaucheur C et al. J Am Soc Nephrol :

3 Chronic AMR may result form De Novo DSA formation, incomplete elimination of DSA following Acute AMR, or persistence of preformed DSA after Desensitization Effectiveness of therapy may depend upon: Target Strength Timing Ability of DSA to Bind Complement Ability of DSA to Produce Microcirculation Inflammation Presence of Renal Dysfunction DSA Fate By Specificity After Plasmapheresis 1 Specific Eliminated Persistent ci 74% 26% cii (DR, DQ) 56% 44% DR51, 52, 53 20% 80% Isoagglutinins 0% 100% 1 Zachary, et al. Transplantation Nov 27;76(10): Allograft Survival Is Lower With Class II DSA 1 1 Bentall et al. AJT 2013; 13:76 3

4 The Significance of AMR Varies By The Antibody s Ability To Bind Complement: Outcomes of C4d+ vs. C4d-AMR 1 1 Orandi B et al. Am J Transplant. 2016; 16:213. However, Antibodies That Do Not Bind Complement Can Have Clinical Significance 1 Specificity/sensitivity/positive predictive and negative predictive values for C4d Sensitivity = 0.69 Specificity = 0.83 PPV = 0.93 NPV = 0.44 C4d+ (n = 90) KTRs with preformed DSA (n = 80) Protocol biopsies at 3-mo and 1-y post-transplant (n = 157) NPV: negative predictive value; PPV: positive predictive value. 1. Loupy A et al. Am J Transplant. 2011;11: C4d-(n = 67) Microvascular inflammation + (n = 84) Microvascular inflammation (n = 6) Microvascular inflammation + (n = 37) Microvascular inflammation (n = 30) Post Treatment DSA and C1q: Is There Both A Quantitative and Qualitative Difference in DSA 1 DSA+/C1q+ = Higher risk of graft loss 1 Loupy et al.

5 SOC PP/IVIg Treatment Protocol Is Effective Therapy for Acute AMR but has Limited Success with Chronic AMR 1 Anti-CD20 Steroid bolus or α-thymocyte globulin PP: single plasma volume exchange IVIG: 100 mg/kg following each PP treatment (CMV hyperimmune globulin) PP/IVIg PP/IVIg PP/IVIg PP/IVIg PP/IVIg AMR diagnosis Montgomery et al.

10 Which of the following best describes you? 1. I know there are no effective treatments for chronic AMR so I just let nature take its course and begin to plan for the next transplant. 2. When I identify a patient with chronic AMR I increase maintenance immunosuppression and observe. 3. I aggressively treat chronic AMR when found on a for cause biopsy. 4. I monitor at risk patients with protocol biopsies and treat chronic AMR until the microcirculation inflammation resolves on re-biopsy. Which of the following is false about the treatment of chronic AMR A. Therapies for Acute AMR tend to have limited efficacy for chronic AMR. B. Class I non-complement fixing antibodies are associated with the worst outcomes. C. DSA that binds C1q leads to a higher rate of graft loss. D. Transplant glomerulopathy can result form both acute and chronic AMR 10
