Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Tacrolimus/MMF/Basiliximab

Participants received tacrolimus at a starting dose of 0.20 mg/kg/day, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 750 or 1000 mg twice daily (BID), basiliximab administered as a 20 mg bolus injection 2 hours prior to transplantation on Day 0 and a 20 mg bolus injection on Day 3 and tapered corticosteroids for 6 months.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

tacrolimus

Intervention Type DRUG

The initial dose of tacrolimus was administered orally within 48 hours post-transplant. Subsequent doses were to be adjusted to achieve target whole blood trough concentrations.

basiliximab

Intervention Type DRUG

Administered as a 20 mg bolus injection within 2 hours prior to transplantation and a 20 mg bolus injection on Day 3.

mycophenolate mofetil

Intervention Type DRUG

Administered at 750 mg twice per day orally or intravenously for patients enrolled under Amendment 6 or earlier and at 1000 mg twice per day orally or intravenously for patients enrolled under Amendment 7. The dose of MMF could be adjusted based on clinical symptoms.

Corticosteroids

Intervention Type DRUG

Corticosteroids were administered as a 500 to 1000 mg intravenous bolus on Day 0 and a 125 to 250 mg methylprednisone (or equivalent oral/intravenous corticosteroid dose) on Day 1. Oral prednisone was to be tapered per protocol.

Alefacept QW/Tacrolimus/MMF

Participants received alefacept administered as a 7.5 mg intravenous (IV) bolus on Days 0 and 3; 15 mg subcutaneously on Day 7 then weekly (QW) for 12 weeks, then 15 mg subcutaneously monthly until the end of month 6, in addition to tacrolimus at a starting dose of 0.10 mg/kg/day, MMF 750 or 1000 mg BID and tapered corticosteroids for 6 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Alefacept

Intervention Type DRUG

Administered as a 7.5 mg intravenous bolus on day 0 (intraoperatively, prior to kidney revascularization) and Day 3; subsequently administered subcutaneously either weekly or every 2 weeks.

tacrolimus

Intervention Type DRUG

The initial dose of tacrolimus was administered orally within 48 hours post-transplant. Subsequent doses were to be adjusted to achieve target whole blood trough concentrations.

mycophenolate mofetil

Intervention Type DRUG

Administered at 750 mg twice per day orally or intravenously for patients enrolled under Amendment 6 or earlier and at 1000 mg twice per day orally or intravenously for patients enrolled under Amendment 7. The dose of MMF could be adjusted based on clinical symptoms.

Intervention Type DRUG

Corticosteroids were administered as a 500 to 1000 mg intravenous bolus on Day 0 and a 125 to 250 mg methylprednisone (or equivalent oral/intravenous corticosteroid dose) on Day 1. Oral prednisone was to be tapered per protocol.

Alefacept QW/Tacrolimus

Participants received alefacept administered as a 7.5 mg IV bolus on Days 0 and 3; 15 mg subcutaneously on Day 7 then weekly for 12 weeks, then 15 mg subcutaneously monthly until the end of month 6, in addition to tacrolimus at a starting dose of 0.20 mg/kg/day, and tapered corticosteroids for 6 months.

Alefacept QOW/Tacrolimus/MMF

Participants received alefacept administered as a 7.5 mg IV bolus on Days 0 and 3; 30 mg subcutaneously on Day 7 then weekly for 12 weeks, then 15 mg subcutaneously monthly until the end of month 6, in addition to tacrolimus at a starting dose of 0.10 mg/kg/day, MMF 750 or 1000 mg BID, and tapered corticosteroids for 6 months.
