Belatacept + MPA
subjects continue MPA per SOC, receive bimonthly infusions of belatacept while gradually reducing and then discontinuing tacrolimus: Belatacept: 5 mg/kg IV on Day 1, 15, 29, 43, and 57 post-conversion, then monthly thereafter. Tacrolimus tapered over one month as follows: Days 1- 14: SOC administration Day 15 (\~ 2 weeks into study): 40-60% of the previous dose Day 21 (\~ 3 weeks into study): 20-30% of the previous dose Day 30 (about 1 month): discontinue MPA: administered according to SOC belatacept: Please reference Arm description for belatacept + MPA and Arm description for Arm belatacept + Low-Dose Tac for details on this intervention MPA: Please see Arm Descriptions for both Standard of Care Arm Tacrolimus + MPA standard treatment regimen and belatacept + MPA for details on this intervention
Belatacept + Low-Dose Tac
Belatacept: 5 mg/kg IV on Day 1, 15, 29, 43, and 57 post-conversion, then monthly thereafter. Tacrolimus tapered over one month as follows: Days 1- 14: SOC administration Day 15 (\~ 2 weeks into study): 10% of the previous dose Day 21 (\~ 3 weeks into study): 20% of the previous dose Day 30 (\~ 1 month into study): 20% of the previous dose Target trough level ≤ 5 mg per ml of tacrolimus thereafter. belatacept: Please reference Arm description for belatacept + MPA and Arm description for Arm belatacept + Low-Dose Tac for details on this intervention Tacrolimus: Please see Arm Descriptions for both Standard of Care Arm Tacrolimus + MPA standard treatment regimen and belatacept + Low-Dose Tac for details on this intervention
Tacrolimus + MPA Standard Treatment Regimen
Standard of Care treatment regimen: Tacrolimus: administered orally twice daily (BID) The total initial dose of Tacrolimus is given at 0.1 mg/kg in two divided doses to achieve a stable 12-hour trough level of 8 - 12 ng/mL on Days 1 through 30, with dose reduction to achieve a 12-hour trough target of 5 - 10 ng/mL thereafter. MPA: dosed orally per package insert beginning on the day of transplantation. Methylprednisolone as sodium succinate is administered as 500 mg IV, 250 mg IV, 125 mg IV, on Days 0, 1, and 2 without corticosteroid taper. MPA dose adjustments for gastrointestinal side effects or leukopenia will be made at the discretion of the investigator.
