Use of bortezomib for prevention and treatment of rejection in sensitized patients. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We report 2 cases of sensitized patients who were successfully treated with bortezomib therapy resulting in reduction of donor-specific antibodies (DSA). Our cases illustrate the synergistic effects of combination therapy that includes bortezomib on prevention and treatment of AMR in highly sensitized patients. Moving forward, long-term data on sensitized patients treated with bortezomib are needed to fully evaluate the impact of this therapy.
