Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare renal allograft rejection rates during the first year among high-immunological risk recipients between patients who received either ATG or the anti-IL2R mAb daclizumab.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this randomized, multi-center trial is to directly compare the ATG, Thymoglobulin, with the anti-CD25 mAb, daclizumab, in a high-risk, HLA-sensitized renal transplant population, in order to elucidate whether there is any significant difference in the incidence of acute rejection after one year.

Eligible patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either ATG (1.25 mg/kg/d from day 0 to day 7) or daclizumab (1 mg/kg at days 0, 14, 28, 42 and 56). Maintenance immunosuppression comprised tacrolimus, MMF and prednisone. The study's primary endpoint was the incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection at one year.
