  Purpose

The main focus of this study is to develop blood and/or urine tests that will help to detect early signs of rejection in people who have had a liver transplant. Researchers will examine blood, urine, and tissue samples and try to identify markers for certain conditions such as rejection, response to therapy, and scarring of the liver. Additionally, researchers would like to identify biomarkers that can detect damage to the native kidneys before blood levels of creatinine rises. By studying gene expression, researchers hope to be able to diagnose these conditions earlier and improve liver survival.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Acute Rejection [ Time Frame: 3 months after liver transplant ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The primary endpoint is the incidence of biopsy proven AR at 3, 12 and 24 months after LT.

  • Acute Rejection [ Time Frame: 12 months after liver transplant ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Acute Rejection [ Time Frame: 24 months after liver transplant ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Severity of acute rejection [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12): ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Severity (initial grade, steroid-responsive vs. refractory by biopsy) and clinical/biochemical resolution following treatment of AR

  • Recurrent Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV-R) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Incidence, severity (grade, stage), and treatment (requirement for, response rates) of HCV-R

  • Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Incidence, severity (stage, need for renal replacement therapy or kidney transplantation), and response to treatment (CNI reduction/withdrawal ± MPA or mTOR) of CKD

  • Incidence of death, graft loss, and need for liver retransplantation [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Incidence of opportunistic infections, malignancy, and cardiovascular complications [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • mRNA expression profiles of peripheral blood (AR, HCV-R, CKD) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • mRNA expression profiles of liver biopsies (AR, HCV-R) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Protein expression profiles of plasma ( AR, HCV-R, CKD) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Protein expression profiles of urine (CKD) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • microRNA Profiling Plasma & Cells [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Multiparameter Flow Cytometry - Viral Pathogens [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Viral Monitoring - EBV & CMV [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 1) to Month 24 (Visit 12) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
