Trial Outcomes & Findings for Open-Label Phase 2 Trial of a Steroid-Free, CNI-Free, Belatacept-Based Immunosuppressive Regimen (NCT NCT01856257)
NCT ID: NCT01856257
Last Updated: 2020-12-17
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.

Timeframe: Day 28 through Week 52 Post-TransplantPopulation: Intent-to-treat population with available data
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.

Acute cellular rejection for this endpoint is defined as a grade equal to or greater than IA by Banff 2007 criteria as determined by local pathology. Severity is graded as IA, IB, IIA, IIB, or III, with IA being the mildest form of cellular rejection and III being the most severe form of cellular rejection. Originally it was 2 endpoints but all participants' highest grade was also their first grade so only reporting their first grade.

Timeframe: Week 52Population: No analysis due to no available data. Data were not reported from the central laboratory and, therefore, unable to be summarized.
The presence of antibodies reactive to Histocompatibility Antigen (HLA) molecules expressed on the renal allograft have been associated with both acute and chronic injury to the transplanted kidney. The development of de novo anti donor HLA antibodies may mean a person is more likely to reject the graft. No data available.

New onset diabetes is the development of diabetes post-kidney transplant. It was identified by the clinical sites caring for each participant and reported directly in the clinical database. Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is a determination made by referencing glucose measurements obtained from a standard chemistry panel. Any fasting glucose measure that is between 110 and 125 mg/dL is classified as IFG. Acronyms: American Diabetes Association (ADA); World Health Organization (WHO).

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.

Methylprednisolone (MEDROL) was administered at 500mg on 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.
Basiliximab (Simulect) was administered in two 20 mg doses, within 2 hours prior to transplantation and on day 3.
The site investigator determined the initial tacrolimus (tac) dose started on the day of transplant or day 1. Dosing was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 8-12 ng/ml during days 1-84, and then decreased by 1/3 at day 84 and by 1/3 at week 16. If trough levels were less than or equal to 3 ng/ml at week 20 then all tac was stopped. Otherwise, the dose was reduced by 1/2 and stopped at week 24.

Induction:MEDROL+Thymoglobulin, Maintenance:MMF+Tac
n=29 participants at risk
Induction:
Methylprednisolone (MEDROL) was administered at a dose of 500mg 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.
Thymoglobulin via intravenous infusion was administered at a target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days.
Maintenance:
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.
The site investigator determined the starting dose. The first tacrolimus (tac) dosing was administered on the day of transplant or day 1 and was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 8-12 ng/ml during the first 24 weeks post-transplant and 5-8 ng/mL thereafter.

Induction:MEDROL+Thymoglobulin, Maintenance:MMF+Belatacept
n=29 participants at risk
Induction:
Methylprednisolone (MEDROL) was administered at a dose of 500mg 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.
Thymoglobulin via intravenous infusion was administered at a target dose of 6 mg/kg over 3 to 4 days.
Maintenance:
Belatacept (NULOJIX) was given at a dose of 10 mg/kg beginning 24 hours from the time of reperfusion, and then at days 5, 14, 28, 56 and 84.
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:MEDROL+Simulect+Tac, Maintenance:MMF+Belatacept
n=11 participants at risk
Induction:
Methylprednisolone (MEDROL) was administered at 500mg on 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.
Basiliximab (Simulect) was administered in two 20 mg doses, within 2 hours prior to transplantation and on day 3.
The site investigator determined the initial tacrolimus (tac) dose started on the day of transplant or day 1. Dosing was adjusted to achieve a target trough of 8-12 ng/ml during days 1-84, and then decreased by 1/3 at day 84 and by 1/3 at week 16. If trough levels were less than or equal to 3 ng/ml at week 20 then all tac was stopped. Otherwise, the dose was reduced by 1/2 and stopped at week 24.
Maintenance:
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.
Belatacept (NULOJIX) was given at 10 mg/kg beginning 24 hours from the time of reperfusion, and at days 5, 14, 28, 56 and 84
