Bortezomib as rescue therapy for antibody mediated rejection: a single-center experience.

Case series have reported the use of bortezomib for treatment of primary and refractory treatment of cell-mediated acute rejection. The purpose of this article is to review a single-center experience with bortezomib used to treat humoral rejection in four transplant recipients. All patients received bortezomib after suffering antibody-mediated rejection refractory to intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapheresis.

Bortezomib for acute humoral rejection in two repeat transplant recipients.

Case series have reported the use of bortezomib to remove antibodies in live-donor transplant recipients with HLA alloantibodies and to treat antibody and cell-mediated acute rejection. The purpose of this article is to review a single-center experience with bortezomib used to treat humoral rejection in two sensitized, repeat transplant recipients. Both patients received bortezomib after suffering antibody-mediated rejection refractory to intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapheresis.
