TABLE 1.

Component measures of the full and abbreviated iBOX.

iBOX component measures Detailed information on the iBOX measures
Time of posttransplant risk assessment (fixed time points) Phase 2/proof-of-concept iBOX assessment: 6 months
Phase 3 iBOX assessment: 1 year, 2 years
Kidney function (eGFR and UPCR proteinuria) eGFR, where eGFR is measured in mL/min/1.73 m2
Log transformed (UPCR value a ), where UPCR is measured in gram per gram (g/g)
Immunological status (anti-HLA DSA MFI) Anti-HLA DSA using a qualitative binary MFI cutoff
• MFI <1,400 (References group)
• MFI ≥1,400
Kidney damage assessment b (kidney allograft biopsy histopathology using Banff lesion scores) Banff lesion score, interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IFTA score): Categorical variable with 3 levels
• IFTA score = 0–1 (References group)
• IFTA score = 2
• IFTA score = 3
Microcirculation inflammation (Banff lesion score, glomerulitis [g score] and Banff lesion score, peritubular capillaritis [ptc score]): Categorical variable with 3 levels
• g and ptc score = 0–2 (References group)
• g and ptc score = 3–4
• g and ptc score = 5–6
Banff lesion score, interstitial inflammation (i score) and Banff lesion score, tubulitis (t score): Categorical variable with 2 levels
• i score and t score = 0–2 (References group)
• i score and t score ≥3
Banff lesion score, presence/extent of glomerular base membrane double contours; transplant glomerulopathy (cg score): Categorical variable with 2 levels
• cg score = 0 (References group)
• cg score = ≥1

DSA, donor-specific antibody; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity; UPCR, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio.

a

For proteinuria values below 0.05 g/g are replaced by 0.05 g/g before log-transformation.

b

Omitted from abbreviated iBOX.
