Elevation in portal blood pressure may occur following intraportal islet infusion but is usually temporary. During clinical trials with LANTIDRA, the median peak portal blood pressure increase from baseline was 3 mmHg (range -3 to 18 mmHg). Elevated portal pressures ≥ 22 mmHg were reported during procedures for two subjects requiring cessation of the procedure, and incomplete delivery of LANTIDRA for one subject. Monitor portal pressure and halt islet infusion if portal pressure rises above 22 mmHg.
Of the 30 subjects who received LANTIDRA, 28 subjects had panel reactive antibody (PRA) data. Overall, 6 of 28 (21%) had a transition from baseline Class I PRA < 20% to ≥ 20% after infusion. These included 1 of 9 (11%) who received one infusion, 3 of 12 (25%) who received two infusions, and 2 of 7 (29%) who received three infusions.
