Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to find out if an experimental drug called efgartigimod (the study drug) is a safe and effective option for people experiencing kidney rejection. We want to know if it can decrease antibody-mediated rejection following a transplant by removing the antibodies that target and damage the cells of the donated kidney.
Who Can Participate?
Eligibility
Adults ages 18-80 who:
- Received a kidney transplant at least 6 months ago
- Are diagnosed with biopsy-confirmed antibody-mediated rejection
- Are using an immunosuppressing medication for maintenance following their transplant
