To address this unmet need, we designed the EU-TRAIN study, a large prospective multicentric unselected cohort funded by the European Commission. Here, we included consecutive adult patients who received a kidney allograft in nine European transplant centers between November 2018 and June 2020. We prospectively assessed gene expression levels of 19 blood messenger RNAs, four antibodies targeting non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) endothelial antigens, together with circulating anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA). The primary outcome was allograft rejection (antibody-mediated, T cell-mediated, or mixed) in the first year post-transplantation. Overall, 412 patients were included, with 812 biopsies paired with a blood sample. CD4 gene expression was significantly associated with rejection, while circulating anti-HLA DSA had a significant association with allograft rejection and a strong association with antibody-mediated rejection. All other tested biomarkers, including AKR1C3, CD3E, CD40, CD8A, CD9, CTLA4, ENTPD1, FOXP3, GZMB, ID3, IL7R, MS4A1, MZB1, POU2AF1, POU2F1, TCL1A, TLR4, and TRIB1, as well as antibodies against angiotensin II type 1 receptor, endothelin 1 type A receptor, C3a and C5a receptors, did not show significant associations with allograft rejection. The blood messenger RNAs and non-HLA antibodies did not show an additional value beyond standard of care monitoring parameters and circulating anti-HLA DSA to predict allograft rejection in the first year post-transplantation. Thus, our results open avenues for specifically designed studies to demonstrate the clinical relevance and implementation of other candidate non-invasive biomarkers in kidney transplantation practice. The EU-TRAIN study was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 754995.

RD was supported by the EU-TRAIN study and the ANR project KTD-innov (ANR-17-RHUS-0010) thanks to the French Government financial support managed by the National Research Agency (ANR) within “Investments into the Future” program.
