BACKGROUND: Reliable and timely detection of acute rejection in renal transplant
patients is important to preserve the allograft function and to prevent premature
allograft failure. The current gold standard for the rejection diagnosis is an
allograft biopsy which is usually performed upon an unexplained decline in
allograft function. Because of the invasiveness of the biopsy, non-invasive tests
have been suggested to diagnose acute rejection including mass spectrometry
analysis of urine samples. DESIGN AND METHODS: The aim of this study is to
examine the diagnostic accuracy of mass spectrometry analysis in urine for the
diagnosis of acute rejections using the biopsy as gold-standard. The study is an
ongoing prospective, single-arm, multicentre, phase 3 diagnostic accuracy study.
It started in October 2011 and will be concluded in December 2015. Patient within
the first year after transplantation who are scheduled for a biopsy to clarify
unexplained impairment of the allograft are consecutively recruited into the
study. The overall sample size (n?=?600) was calculated to demonstrate a
sensitivity of 83 % and a specificity of 70 % for a one-sided type one error of
2.5 % and a power of 80 % per hypothesis. Biopsy evaluation and mass spectrometry
analysis of urine samples (obtained immediately before biopsy) are performed
independently by different readers without knowledge from the respective other
assessment. The follow-up observation period is 6 months. For the primary
analysis, the lower limits of the two-sided 95 % Wald confidence intervals for
sensitivity and specificity will be compared with the pre-specified thresholds
(83 % for sensitivity and 70 % for specificity). In secondary analyses the
predictive values, the diagnostic measures in subgroups, and the clinical course
will be assessed. DISCUSSION: Previous phase 2 diagnostic accuracy studies (in
small selected study populations) provided sufficient evidence to suggest mass
spectrometry on urine samples as a promising approach to detect acute rejections.
This study determines the diagnostic performance of the test in the routine
setting of post-transplant patient care, compared to the biopsy-based rejection
diagnosis. The next step would be a randomized trial to compare the two
diagnostic strategies (including the urine test or not) in relation to patient
relevant endpoints. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01315067 ; March 14, 2011.
