History of Changes
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to learn if Belatacept can provide protection from organ rejection following kidney transplantation while avoiding some of the toxic effects of standard immunosuppressive medications such as kidney damage. Effects on kidney function and patient survival as well as drug safety will also be studied.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The composite of subject and graft survival [ Time Frame: by 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • The composite of measured GFR <60ml/min/1.73 m2 [ Time Frame: at Month 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • A decrease in measured GFR >= 10mL/min/1.73m2 [ Time Frame: from Month 3 to Month 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • The incidence of acute rejection [ Time Frame: by 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Measured GFR [ Time Frame: at 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Biopsy-proven chronic allograft nephropathy [ Time Frame: at 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
