Abstract
Organ transplantation has saved the lives of many thousands of people, but transplants still don't last as long as they should. In addition, to prevent rejection, high doses of toxic drugs are used to dampen the immune response. These can not only harm the transplant, but can have lethal side effects on the recipient.
Since it started in October 2007, the Centre has made significant progress towards improving the health of people who need transplants. We have devised ways to make their transplanted organ survive longer. This includes the development of engineered proteins which, when planted in donor kidneys, reduce inflammation and blood clot formation after transplantation. In addition, we have pioneered less harmful, more natural methods to coax the immune system into accepting the transplant, using cells taken from the patient. Remarkably, as a result of monitoring the immune system, we are close to being able to judge which patients can stop taking conventional therapy without rejecting the graft. At the same time, we are developing advanced scanning techniques that will enable physicians to diagnose whether a transplant is inflamed and to offer appropriate treatment.
As we approach the next five years of development, we shall conduct clinical trials to establish whether these innovations can benefit healthcare as the basic research has promised. Potential benefits include extending the life of the transplant and offering transplantation to more of those in need. We are also supporting new branches of science that make success more likely.
Advances of this complexity are made possible by bringing together a large workforce of scientists, clinicians and technologists under the same roof. The MRC Centre for Transplantation has created this capability within the UK. It collaborates with the Centre for Medical Law and Ethics at King's College to ensure a high standard of communication and public engagement regarding the regulation and ethics of transplant research. A programme of special events and media coverage will help keep the public and patients informed during innovation. Health economists are also to be part of the Centre to provide the opportunity to make more accurate forecasts about the costs and potential benefits of our research.
Future success will depend on recruiting and training the brightest minds to deliver this work through the next 5-10 years of development and ensure the research is translated into social and economic benefit.

Technical Summary
In 2007, the Centre set out to convert its extensive knowledge of inflammation, immunity and tolerance into new treatment, diagnostic and prognostic technologies for the benefit of patients. Our priorities were to overcome the initial barriers to transplantation presented by the immune system and to induce tolerance in patients with guidance from immune prediction and monitoring, so reducing some of the major limitations of modern transplantation.
To do this, we created links with protein and cell therapeutics, imaging sciences and genetics, and between clinical specialities responsible for the treatment of patients with diabetes, liver, kidney, bone marrow and dental diseases. As a result, the first membrane-targeted therapeutic regulators are about to enter a multicentre efficacy trial; the cell therapy strategy has progressed to become part of several investigational protocols designed to induce tolerance; markers of tolerance are undergoing extensive evaluation in man; and new imaging ligands that detect activated complement fragments and migratory T cells have emerged. A teaching framework built around these goals is equipping trainees to engage in multidisciplinary research. A programme of patient and public involvement promotes awareness of the importance of science in transplant medicine and ensures we are responsive to their expectations.
Our plan is to regroup the expanded number of basic and clinical research programmes into fewer themes which reflect areas of strategic value. This includes islet and hepatocyte transplantation, where inadequate long-term outcomes are likely to benefit from the specific expertise of the Centre. In support, an expanded training scheme will develop leadership skills in the distinct areas defined by the new themes, i.e. protein and cell engineering, immune monitoring, imaging and informatics. A parallel theme to improve methods of health economic assessment for early research is designed to support these goals.

Planned Impact
Benefit to patients
Improved quality of life, graft and patient survival rates, fewer interventions including less use of drug and dialysis treatment:
- Painting the donor organ with protective treatment that reduces inflammation and increases the lifespan of the transplant
- Having to take fewer drugs with unpleasant or dangerous side effects achieved with regimens using cell therapies in place of conventional treatment with broad-acting drugs
- Better patient stratification with new biomarkers and immune monitoring, allowing reduced drug usage where immune tolerance has developed
- Shorter wait for a kidney transplant through more donor organs being available with the application of organ-painting
- Evidence should be visible within 5-10 years
Benefits to the NHS
Cost/resource/efficiency benefits gained through costs of treatment (drug and dialysis costs) and patient and graft outcomes:
- Lower dialysis costs by enabling more transplants to be carried out with the use of organ painting and by fewer patients having to return to dialysis after transplantation
- Lower cost of dialysis in the early post transplant period due to more rapid recovery of painted donor organs
- Lower maintenance drug costs by keeping patients on fewer drugs where immune tolerance can be detected and/or can be induced by cell therapy
- Increased patient and graft survival rates with wider application of these treatment and diagnostic technologies, within 10 years
Benefits to the Economy
Exploitation of IP to form new products which contribute to UK economy and allow return on public investment in the work of the MRC Centre/KCL, by:
- New intellectual property based around these therapeutic and biomarker technologies (interest already showing in new cytotopic products and biomarkers of tolerance)
- Healthcare savings since maintenance on a transplant is more cost-effective than dialysis.
Benefits to Wider Society
Engagement/participation, leading to:
- Public confidence in organ donation, building on our ability to engage the public and influence policy on matters that include research in transplantation
- Influence willingness to participate in organ donations schemes by appreciating the scientific commitment though research

Title | An in vitro model for studying genes and functions regulated by endogenous RA/RAR |
Description | Combining two inhibitors AGN193109, DEAB and a cell line mIMCD-3 cells, as well as other collecting duct cell lines, we have established an in vitro approach to defining endogenous RA/RAR activities, target mRNAs, microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs. This approach can be used for other similar studies, using the same cell line or different ones. |
Type Of Material | Model of mechanisms or symptoms - in vitro |
Year Produced | 2017 |
Provided To Others? | No |
Impact | We have published our work on mRNAs using this approach in PLOS One. We have again shown it worked perfectly on microRNAs, leading to a manuscript that will be published after ongoing validation. This can also lead to further grants. Other scientists can also be inspired to develop similar systems for studying functions of endogenous RA/RAR in other systems. |

Title | Novel RARalpha agonists |
Description | This will likely be a novel drug lead. |
Type Of Material | Technology assay or reagent |
Provided To Others? | No |
Impact | RARalpha is the dominant isotype of RAR in both collecting ducts and podocyte cell lineages, where RAR signalling is found. Selectively activate RARalpha can avoid side effects of RARgamma (dry and itching skin) and RXR (potentially pro-fibrotic) and thus could become more selective renal therapy in AKI and CKD. |
Title | Phospholipid Capture Enzyme Immunoassay (PCEIA) |
Description | The PCEIA is a generic system for the assay of cytotopic agents (CTAs). CTAs are modified protein or peptides which possess the ability to bind to phosphatidyl serine (PS) and related acidic phospholipids in cell membranes. The assay uses PS deposited on the wells of microtitre plates as the capture step. The protein or peptide component of the CTA is then detected with a specific antibody followed by a secondary antibody linked to an enzyme component such as horseradish peroxidase. The signal is detected colorimetrically with an appropriate enzyme substrate. |
Type Of Material | Technology assay or reagent |
Provided To Others? | No |
Impact | A PCEIA for the complement inhibitor Mirococept was initially developed in response to a regulatory requirement (from the UK MHRA) for an additional potency assay for this agent. It was reasoned that an assay which was dependent not only on the ability to bind PS but also on the antigenic identity of the CTA would be complementary to the existing biological assay for complement inhibitors which is cell-based. This proved to be the case and the new assay was incorporated into a revised MIrococept Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) filed in late 2013. We realized that the same capture step could be applied to all CTAs regardless of the modified "cargo". During 2014 we have validated this approach for the anticoagulant Thrombolexin and the complement terminal pathway inhibitor Cytectin. This work has been written up for publication and we expect it to contribute not only to the development of a range of CTAs but also to ultimate commercialization |

Title | TRE-dnRAR transgenic mice |
Description | This line of mice will enable conditional expression of a dominant negative mutant of RAR to achieve conditional repression of RXR/RAR signalling in the mice. Once interred with Hoxb7-Tet On mice, we can then achieve conditional repression of RXR/RAR signalling selectively in the collecting ducts in adult mice. |
Type Of Material | Model of mechanisms or symptoms - mammalian in vivo |
Provided To Others? | No |
Impact | As RXR/RAR signalling is indispensable to kidney development, this line of transgenic mice will avoid renal abnormality induced by repression of RXR/RAR in embryonic mice and enable study of the roles for RXR/RAR signalling in both physiology and pathophysiology of adulthood. |

PI Contribution | Bio-DrIM. Personalized minimization of immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation by biomarker-driven stratification of patients to improve long-term outcome and health-economic data of transplantation. King's College London will do 2 studies on WP1 and will drive all of the analysis work on WP4 of this consortium. Maria Hernandez-Fuentes is the lead investigator in KCL. STUDY I, led by Prof Sanchez-Fueyo: A randomized multicentre controlled clinical study to assess the benefit/risk ratio of completely withdrawing IS in stable liver recipients identified as operationally tolerant on the basis of a liver tissue-based transcriptional test of tolerance. The study will test two hypotheses. First, that IS withdrawal is not inferior to IS maintenance in terms of rejection-related complications. Second, that drug withdrawal is superior to drug maintenance concerning the improvement of IS-related side effects. STUDY III, led by Dr Hernandez-Fuentes: A UK multicentre randomised hybrid design biomarker clinical trial, where biomarker positive/negative patients will be separately randomized into two arms; the control arm will have standard post-transplant follow up. The experimental arm will have a "Biomarker-led" follow up, namely, the strategy for their management will use the information obtained with the tolerance signature. The peripheral blood biomarker tolerance profile described by IOT/RISET (set-1 WP4) will be used in the biomarker led group to offer partial IS weaning to positive patients. WP 4.2 led by Dr Rebollo-Mesa. To organize data management and biostatistics. Establishment of a Central data base and data management system; biostatistical analyses of clinical and laboratory results, including ontology between the studies. |
Collaborator Contribution | The central focus of the project is the implementation of biomarker-driven strategies for personalizing IS to improve the long-term outcome and to decrease the adverse effects and costs of chronic IS. This includes 5 innovative investigator-driven biomarker clinical trials designed by the consortium with >1800 (screening) / 1000 (trial) patients. The following issues will be addressed: -targeted complete/partial weaning of standard IS in long-term stable liver and kidney Tx patients identified as "operationally tolerant" by recently developed biomarker panels-prevention of CNI-based standard IS in low-responder kidney Tx recipients by perioperative biomarker-based stratification-shifting high to low-responder kidney Tx patients suitable for early minimisation by the recently explored selective targeting of alloreactive effector/memory T cells -implementing new biomarker candidates supporting personalized IS within the clinical trials-analysing the health-economic impact of biomarker-guided personalized IS -studying the mechanisms behind successful weaning (regulation/effector balance) -disseminating the results and developing commercialisation by partnering with SME/industry. The project will take advantage and exploit recent research findings-Indices of Tolerance (IOT) and RISET but also of other international groups. |

PI Contribution | Bio-DrIM. Personalized minimization of immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation by biomarker-driven stratification of patients to improve long-term outcome and health-economic data of transplantation. King's College London will do 2 studies on WP1 and will drive all of the analysis work on WP4 of this consortium. Maria Hernandez-Fuentes is the lead investigator in KCL. STUDY I, led by Prof Sanchez-Fueyo: A randomized multicentre controlled clinical study to assess the benefit/risk ratio of completely withdrawing IS in stable liver recipients identified as operationally tolerant on the basis of a liver tissue-based transcriptional test of tolerance. The study will test two hypotheses. First, that IS withdrawal is not inferior to IS maintenance in terms of rejection-related complications. Second, that drug withdrawal is superior to drug maintenance concerning the improvement of IS-related side effects. STUDY III, led by Dr Hernandez-Fuentes: A UK multicentre randomised hybrid design biomarker clinical trial, where biomarker positive/negative patients will be separately randomized into two arms; the control arm will have standard post-transplant follow up. The experimental arm will have a "Biomarker-led" follow up, namely, the strategy for their management will use the information obtained with the tolerance signature. The peripheral blood biomarker tolerance profile described by IOT/RISET (set-1 WP4) will be used in the biomarker led group to offer partial IS weaning to positive patients. WP 4.2 led by Dr Rebollo-Mesa. To organize data management and biostatistics. Establishment of a Central data base and data management system; biostatistical analyses of clinical and laboratory results, including ontology between the studies. |

PI Contribution | We have built a research collaboration on biomarkers in transplantation with Professor Terry Strom, by giving him access to patients and testing his samples in the kidney transplant unit. We have jointly written grant awards (L. Barber and S. Longi) and we have jointly funded a joint postdoctoral researcher to look at tissue stress factors in transplantation. In addition, we have set up teaching sessions to introduce research opportunities from Harvard University and we have set up a major international symposium (GMEC Genetics Symposium, November 2009) which featured his work. |
Collaborator Contribution | We have access to confidential information and primer sequences that define potential biomarkers currently under investigation in our Centre as a result. It has facilitated recruitment of a new Professor to the MRC Centre from the USA. |

Title | ABO Antibody Titres in Adult Patients Waiting for a Transplant |
Description | Everybody has antibodies. In kidney transplantation, the important antibodies are blood group (ABO) and tissue type (HLA). We would like to measure the antibody strength (titre) of ABO-blood group antibodies for renal failure patients on the deceased donor waiting list. These ABO-blood group antibodies vary between people which is why we want to measure them in a large number of patients. We would also like to know if these antibody levels and other cells associated with the antibody response change with time which is why we plan to test them at 0, 6 & 12 months. At the moment, we measure antibody levels to different tissue types (HLA) for patients on the deceased donor list every 3 months, and we would time these tests to coincide as we would like to know if the strength of blood group (ABO) antibodies is in any way related to the strength of tissue type (HLA) antibodies. We don't routinely test ABO-blood group antibody strength unless a patient is having a live donor blood group incompatible transplant. This kind of transplant requires antibody removal before the transplant can go ahead safely. For some patients with weak (titre) blood group antibodies it is possible to have a transplant without antibody removal. ABO blood group incompatible transplantation from a deceased donor is not normally performed. We hope that by doing this study, we will identify how many patients have weak enough blood group antibodies to allow a blood group incompatible transplant without needing antibody removal. This might mean that they could be listed to accept more kidneys, which might make a deceased donor transplant more likely. |

Title | Antithrombotic agent (PTL004) |
Description | It has been found that linkage of anticoagulant peptides to membrane-localising ("cytotopic") reagents generates conjugates which are capable of inhibiting thrombin when attached to cell surfaces. This enables organs to be anticoagulated by perfusion ex-vivo prior to transplantation into the recipient. For the first time, it appears to be possible to separate local antithrombotic effects from systemic pharmacological ones using a readily translatable therapeutic agent. It may be possible to control thrombosis in transplantation (for example, in pancreatic and islet cell transplantation and in the prevention of antibody-mediated acute rejection) using this approach. |

Title | DECISIONS |
Description | Aim to develop a novel method by which the risk associated with biomarker-led care can be adjusted to individual patient's circumstances. • Objectives: a) to identify the level of risk that patients may be willing to take, and investigate whether this is related to their symptom burden and quality-of-life, and b) to elicit attitudes to risk and uncertainty and the range of influences affecting patients' choice and decision making. • Mixed method study. a) Quantitative: Modified Standard Gamble to measure patient's willingness to take biomarker-led care depending on different levels of risk (sensitivity and specificity). Quality-of-life and symptom burden questionnaires will also be completed. b) Qualitative study comprises in-depth semi-structured interviews to investigate influences on choices and decision-making. • Hypothesis: high symptom burden and low quality of life is positively associated with a willingness to take risks associated with less accurate biomarker tests. Qualitative interviews will inform whether risk perception is related to particular factors other than symptom burden. We anticipate this study will develop the methodology to incorporate patient's preference into the translation of biomarker tests into clinical practice. |

Title | GAMBIT Genetic Analysis and Monitoring of Biomarkers of Immunological Tolerance |
Description | Up to now it has been impossible to determine if a patient has developed tolerance to their graft as there have been no validated biomarkers that can be used to define immunological tolerance in kidney transplant recipients. Even if complete elimination of the immunosuppressants was not possible, lowering the doses of each drug might be expected to benefit patients by potentially reducing the above mentioned risks. However the benefits of minimizing immunosuppression must be weighed against the risks of precipitating acute rejection or propagating chronic transplant dysfunction. GAMBIT study In the present study we propose to capitalise on these established collaborations and validate a common biomarker set of tolerance, using newly recruited kidney transplant recipients, to get closer to fully translating these results to a clinically applicable diagnostic test of tolerance. |

Title | LITE trial: Low-dose IL-2 to expand endogenous Tregs and achieve tolerance in liver transplantation |
Description | The purpose of the trial is to assess the capacity of low doses of IL-2 to expand endogenous regulatory T cells and promote the development of operational tolerance following liver transplantation. Phase IV, open-label, activity, safety and efficacy, prospective, single-arm clinical trial in which liver recipients <50 years old and 2-6 years after transplantation will receive IL-2 and gradually discontinue their immunosuppressive medication. Based on the IL-2 activity and safety after 1 month of treatment in the first 8 participants, the study will continue or it will terminate. In participants with a satisfactory increase in circulating Tregs after 1 month of IL-2 therapy, treatment will be maintained for 5 additional months while immunosuppressive drugs are gradually discontinued over a 3 month period. Efficacy will be determined by assessing the proportion of subjects who achieve successful immunosuppression withdrawal defined by the absence of rejection and a rejection free biopsy at 1 year following discontinuation of immunosuppression. |

Title | ORGANOX |
Description | A multicentre randomised controlled trial to compare the efficacy of ex-vivo normothermic machine perfusion with static cold storage in human liver transplantation. The standard method of storing and transporting a liver for transplantation is to perfuse with a cold perfusion solution and store the liver in an ice box. To optimise the condition of such higher risk organs there is increased interest in continuous perfusion of the organ with blood at normal body temperature (normothermic perfusion). Livers will be randomly allocated to static cold storage (control group) or normothermic machine perfusion using the OrganOx metra device (study group). Recipients will then undergo transplantation and be managed according to standard local protocols. The two groups will be compared to investigate the potential benefit of normothermic machine perfusion. The trial is funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7): the COPE study (Work Package WP2). |

Title | OuTSMART |
Description | Treatment of kidney disease accounts for a significant proportion of NHS spending. Although transplantation is the best treatment for kidney failure, most transplants do not survive for the recipient's natural lifespan, but instead fail after 10-12 years. Damage by the immune system, called 'chronic rejection' accounts for 50% of failing transplants and it is now possible to identify patients at risk by screening for 'HLA antibodies' in the blood. This application is to test a screening and treatment protocol for antibodies in a randomised controlled trial. Those with antibodies will be randomised into biomarker-led (BLC) or standard care (SC) groups. In the former, test results are revealed and recruits will have their anti-rejection drugs changed to a regime of prednisone, tacrolimus and MMF, each already licensed for use in transplant recipients. We have evidence that this regime is effective at preventing graft dysfunction and expect this to feed through to improvements in survival. In the SC group, screening results are double blinded and recruits will remain on their current therapies. In those without antibodies, recruits will be randomised to either blinded or unblinded screening and remain on standard treatment. Testing will continue every 8 months; recruits in the unblinded screening group will move into the BLC group if they become antibody positive. The primary outcome is kidney failure rates within 3 years of randomisation in HLA antibody+ recruits, predicted to be approximately 20% in the SC but <10% in the BLC groups. Secondary outcomes include rates of deterioration, the incidence of infections, cancers and diabetes, an analysis of the role of non-adherence with medication, and a scientific study to identify new biomarkers associated with outcomes. A cost analysis will confirm whether the screening programme and treatment protocol can save money by keeping kidney transplants functioning for longer. • From Sept 2013 to Nov 2014 we set up and began recruiting from the 5 original research sites including Guy's Hospital, Manchester Royal Infirmary, Royal London Hospital, St James's University Hospital Leeds, University Hospital Birmingham. • To increase recruitment rates we are now also recruiting from King's College Hospital and University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust. • York Hospital will also be joining the study as the 8th research site in December 2014. • To date we have consented 861 participants. • Our recruitment target is 2800 by December 2015 |

Title | Rifaximin |
Description | A placebo-controlled double-blind randomised trial to investigate the efficacy of Rifaximin versus placebo in improving systemic inflammation and neutrophil malfunction in patients with cirrhosis and chronic hepatic encephalopathy. Patients with liver cirrhosis are particularly at risk of getting bacterial infections, and these can lead to complications such as hepatic encephalopathy (HE). This affects brain function and can cause symptoms that range from changes in personality to altered memory, concentration, or even loss of consciousness, affecting quality of life in a major way and often leading to hospital admission, and sometimes even the need for liver transplantation. This study aims to assess an antibiotic called Rifaximin to measure how it affects those processes that are thought to be important in the development of HE. These include the immune function and changes in gut bacteria and overall gut 'leakiness'. The trial is funded by Norgine UK Ltd and will be recruiting from mid-2014 for 12 months |

Title | The ONE Study: A unified approach to evaluating cellular immunotherapy in solid organ transplantation |
Description | Preventing immunological rejection of transplanted organs without the need for long-term use of pharmacological immunosuppression is a primary objective in transplantation medicine. For this reason new transplant research should concentrate on early strategies that support long-term immunological acceptance of transplants, allowing for at least a reduction in the use of general immunosuppression. Conditioning the immune response of solid organ transplant recipients towards allograft acceptance using cell-based therapies is now becoming technically feasible and clinically promising. The central focus of the ONE Study cooperative work programme is to: produce and manufacture distinct populations of haematopoietic immunoregulatory cells comparatively study the immunosuppressive characteristics of these regulatory cell types test these cell therapy products side-by-side in a clinical trial in living donor renal transplant recipient https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctr-search/search?query=eudract_number:2011-004301-24 2014 Recruitment update: 12 patients need to be recruited (between KCL and Oxford).

Professor Dasgupta, who learned robotics alongside Kirby in the US and has helped pioneer robotic urological surgical techniques, led the team who performed the 90 minute operation with the hi-tech da Vinci robot, one of 30 such instruments in Britain and the gold-standard treatment for a number of cancers. The article, as well as covering Kirby's diagnosis and treatment, explores the highly controversial PSA (prostate-specific antigen) screening and the arguments for and against surgical intervention, "a debate peppered with issues of priorities, medical expertise, money and robotic science". The full article can be found in the September 2013 issue of British Gentlemen's Quarterly, also available on iPad.

Results and Impact | Event organised to provide members of the public that had participated the DECISIONS and GAMBIT transplant studies with a chance to learn more about the findings from the research and how the work will help our patients. The event, included a tour of the Medical Research Council Centre for Transplantation at Guy's Hospital, an overview of the key findings from both studies and a research poster presentation and reception. This enabled findings to be shared with patients and investigators felt that being able to meet the patients and explain the processes behind the scenes reaffirmed the importance of our research, and was a fantastic way to round off the work we have achieved together." The feedback received following the event was overwhelmingly positive, one patient commented: "It was interesting to see how the equipment and technology has changed over the years. The evening was an excellent presentation of results. It's so good to have all of this information |

Results and Impact | Questions and answers in the world of organ donation are far from black and white. Yet for those not immersed in this world daily who are thrust into situations they are unprepared for when a loved one falls ill, it's almost impossible to see medical decisions from every angle and understand the possible benefits of transplant research. In this interactive debate, we will explore multiple points of view, considerations and medical opinions that come together at this crucial point to make a life or death decision. Jonathan Dimbleby and a panel of experts will discuss what lies behind a transplant decision at an exciting debate organised by the Centre's Dr Antonia Cronin and King's Policy Institute. The event takes place on 10th December at 6pm at Wellcome Collection, 183 Euston Road, NW1 2BE. It is free to attend but entry is ticketed with limited availability Event not yet taken place |
