Trial Outcomes & Findings for Optimization of NULOJIX® Usage Towards Minimizing CNI Exposure in Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplantation (NCT NCT01790594)
NCT ID: NCT01790594
Last Updated: 2021-07-20
Results Overview
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 end stage kidney failure.

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-TransplantPopulation: 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.

A blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers: the systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic pressure measures the pressure in blood vessels when the heart beats. Diastolic pressure measures the pressure in blood vessels between beats of the heart. * Systolic measures of \<120 and diastolic measures of \<80 are considered normal. * Systolic measures of 120-139 and diastolic measures of 80-89 are considered at risk (or pre-hypertension). * Systolic measures of ≥140 and diastolic measures of ≥90 are considered high.

A fasting lipid profiles measures total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. These measurements are used in assessing one's risk of cardiovascular disease. Target ranges for each of these measures are provided: * Total cholesterol: 75-169 mg/dL if age ≤20; 100-199 mg/dL if age ≥ 21; high values indicate risk of cardiovascular disease * LDL cholesterol: \<70 mg/dL for people with documented cardiovascular disease or metabolic syndrome; \<100 mg/dL for people considered high risk for cardiovascular disease; \<130 mg/dL for people considered low risk for cardiovascular disease; high values indicate risk of cardiovascular disease * HDL cholesterol: 40mg/dL and higher; high values indicate reduced risk of cardiovascular disease * Non-HDL cholesterol: 30 mg/dL above the target value for LDL cholesterol; high values indicate risk of cardiovascular disease and * Triglycerides: \<150 mg/dL; high values indicate risk of cardiovascular disease.

Timeframe: Transplant through Week 52Population: Intent-to-treat population with available data. All participants were considered evaluable for rejection. Only 'for cause' biopsies were performed post-transplant.
Participants are stratified by kidney biopsy results/treatment received. In the event of a for cause renal (kidney) biopsy: -The diagnosis of acute cellular rejection (ACR) using the Banff 2007 renal allograft pathology criteria. These criteria for renal allograft biopsies is an international histopathological classification standard. ACR is defined by a renal biopsy demonstrating a Banff 2007 classification of Grade IA or greater, with higher scores indicating more severe rejection. (Ref: Solez K, Colvin RB et al. Banff 07 classification of renal allograft pathology: updates and future directions. Am J Transplant 2008 8(4): 753-60).

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.

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.

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.

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.
