    Rejection prophylaxis in corneal transplant - A randomized study of HLA matching (the FANCY study)

    No full text
    BACKGROUND: Graft rejection. Twenty to thirty percent of patients with corneal transplants experience at least one rejection episode in the first 5 years after transplantation. Prophylaxis through matching for human leukocyte antigens (HLA) is controversial. We herein report the results of the Functional ANtigen matChing in keratoplastY (FANCY) trial. METHODS: FANCY was a randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical trial. The primary objective was to evaluate superiority of HLA matching versus random graft assignment. The primary endpoint was rejection-free graft survival. We included both normal-risk and high-risk indications. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials. gov (NCT00810472). RESULTS: 721 patients were included, 639 patients were randomized. 474 patients underwent keratoplasty within the study; 165 patients received grafts outside the trial. One patient died and one patient was lost to follow up. We observed 33 graft rejections in the HLA matching arm (n = 224). The corresponding estimated cumulative incidence rate of immune reactions after two years was 15.7%. We observed 40 rejections in the control arm (n = 249). After two years this yields an estimated cumulative incidence rate of 17%. CONCLUSION: In our heterogenous study group, HLA matching did not show a significant advantage compared to random graft assignment. The rejection rate in our sample was lower than expected. Therefore no definite conclusions can be drawn as to whether HLA matching is beneficial in corneal transplantation
