Investigational
Induction: Methylprednisolone (MEDROL) was administered at a dose of 500 mg on the day of transplant, and tapered to 250 mg on day 1, 125 mg on day 2, 60 mg on day 3, 30 mg on day 4, and 0 mg on day 5. A target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days of Thymoglobulin was administered via intravenous infusion. Maintenance: Belatacept (NULOJIX) was given at a dose of 10 mg/kg on days 5, 14, 28, 56, and 84. After 84 days participants received 5 mg/kg every 4 weeks until the completion of the trial. Site investigator determined the initial dose of tacrolimus (tac) started on the day of transplant or day 1. Dosing was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 5-8 ng/ml during the first 24 weeks, and adjusted to 3-5 ng/ml until week 40. If eligible, at week 40 tac withdrawal was initiated over a 4-8 week period. Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) or equivalent was administered at a target dose of 1000 mg PO or IV BID starting on the day of transplant or day 1.

Timeframe: Day 28 through Week 52 Post-Transplant

Population: Intent-to-treat population

The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI): * A score of ≥ 90 means kidney function is normal. * A score between 60 and 89 indicates mildly reduced kidney function, pointing to kidney disease. * Scores between 30 and 59 indicates moderately reduced kidney function. * Scores between 15 and 29 indicate severely reduced kidney function. * Scores below 15 indicate very severe or endstage kidney failure. An estimate of the slope, or change over time, in eGFR was produced using standard statistical linear modeling procedures. The estimate was then re-scaled so that it could be interpreted as a change in eGFR per month. Positive numbers indicate increasing kidney function. Larger numbers indicate greater change in kidney function.

Timeframe: Transplant through Week 52

Population: Intent-to-treat population with available data. Only 'for cause' biopsies were performed post-transplant.

Participants are stratified by kidney biopsy results/treatment received. Upon having a for-cause biopsy performed, persons often receive treatment for rejection based on the biopsy results, which may or may not reveal signs of rejection. Details of biopsy findings and corresponding treatment are provided for each instance of treatment for rejection. Results summary format: biopsy results; treatment. Acronyms and abbreviations: * ACR=Acute Cellular Rejection * IFTA=Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy * ATG=Anti-thymocyte globulin therapy * IVIG=Intravenous Immunoglobulin therapy * Gd =Grade * PO=Orally * QD=Daily

Timeframe: Transplant through Week 52 Post-Transplant

Population: Intent-to-treat population with available data.

This measure counts death, graft loss, or undetectable C-peptide value (e.g., C-peptide \<0.3 ng/mL) occurring at any point post-transplant and independent of each other. * Kidney Graft Loss was defined as 90 consecutive days of dialysis dependency. * Pancreas graft loss was defined as returning to exogenous insulin therapy or initiation of oral hypoglycemic agents for greater than 30 days. * Factitious hypoglycemia due to surreptitious insulin administration results in elevated serum insulin levels and low or undetectable C-peptide levels.

Measure
Investigational
n=22 participants at risk
Induction: Methylprednisolone (MEDROL) was administered at a dose of 500 mg on the day of transplant, and tapered to 250 mg on day 1, 125 mg on day 2, 60 mg on day 3, 30 mg on day 4, and 0 mg on day 5. A target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days of Thymoglobulin was administered via intravenous infusion. Maintenance: Belatacept (NULOJIX) was given at a dose of 10 mg/kg on days 5, 14, 28, 56, and 84. After 84 days participants received 5 mg/kg every 4 weeks until the completion of the trial. Site investigator determined the initial dose of tacrolimus (tac) started on the day of transplant or day 1. Dosing was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 5-8 ng/ml during the first 24 weeks, and adjusted to 3-5 ng/ml until week 40. If eligible, at week 40 tac withdrawal was initiated over a 4-8 week period. Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) or equivalent was administered at a target dose of 1000 mg PO or IV BID starting on the day of transplant or day 1.
Control

Induction: 500 mg of MEDROL was administered on the day of transplant, and tapered to 250 mg on day 1, 125 mg on day 2, 60 mg on day 3, 30 mg on day 4, and 0 mg on day 5. A target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days of Thymoglobulin was administered via intravenous infusion. Maintenance: Site investigator determined the initial dose of tacrolimus (tac) that started on the day of transplant or day 1. Dosing was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 8-12 ng/ml during the first 24 weeks, and adjusted to 5-8 ng/ml thereafter. Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) or equivalent was administered at a target dose of 1000 mg PO or IV BID starting on the day of transplant or day 1.
