SUMMARY

Chronic active antibody mediated rejection (CAMR) is a therapeutic challenge in transplant recipients that does not respond well to conventional treatments for acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR). Annually, 5000 kidney transplants are lost in the United States due to CAMR. The two-year graft survival rate in CAMR is approximately 20%, highlighting the need for a more efficient therapy for CAMR and directly targeting donor specific antibody (DSA) producing cells and reducing CAMRThere is no established treatment for this problem. While many centers intensify and optimize the dosage of immunosuppressive drugs, treatments such as plasmapheresis, IVIG, and rituximab, although effective in treating AMR, have not been successful in reducing DSA or improving kidney graft survival in CAMR patients. Despite these treatments, two-year graft survival can increase up to 55%. The use of anti-plasma cell treatments like bortezomib has also yielded inconsistent results.
