Outcomes
Primary outcome [1]
0
0
Composite ordinal outcome based on all cause death, allograft loss, eGFR decline, acute allograft rejection or BKV load > 1000 copies/mL, and immunosuppression load.
Query!
Assessment method [1]
0
0
All participants will be allocated a rank at 12 weeks between rank 5 (worst) and rank 1 (best). The primary comparison of interest is between participants randomised to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and participants randomised to the control arm. Outcome measures include: Rank 5 - all cause death, allograft loss, eGFR decline =10mls/min 1.73². Rank 4 - acute allograft rejection or BK viral load to \>1000 copies/mL. Ranks 3, 2, and 1 - the degree of immunosuppression reduction relative to baseline immunosuppression.
