| Primary Renal Allograft Candidate Kidney Transplantation | Biological: Anti-thymocyte Globulin (Rabbit) Biological: belatacept Drug: methylprednisolone Biological: basiliximab Drug: mycophenolate mofetil Drug: tacrolimus | Phase 2 |
Taking standard anti-rejection medications for a long time can cause serious side effects, including kidney damage. Transplant recipients have to take anti-rejection medications to prevent their immune system (the body's natural defense system against illness) from rejecting their new kidney. Most patients who receive a kidney transplant must take these anti-rejection medications for the rest of their lives, or for as long as the kidney continues to work.
The purpose of this study is to determine if NULOJIX® (belatacept), will minimize serious long term side effects seen with anti-rejection medications while still protecting the transplanted kidney from damage. The researchers also want to learn more about the safety of this treatment and the long term health of the transplanted kidney.

- 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.
- Count of Participants With Biopsy Proven Acute Rejection By Wk 52 Post-Transplant [ Time Frame: Transplantation through Week 52 ]Biopsy proven acute rejection definition: histologic evidence of a Banff grade of ≥1A per local pathologist.
- Count of Participants With eGFR < 60 mL/Min/1.73 m^2 Measured by CKD-EPI at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]

- 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.
- Count of Participants With Delayed Graft Function at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [ Time Frame: Transplantation through Week 52 ]Delayed grafted function is defined as dialysis in the first week on one or more occasions for any indication other than the treatment of acute hyperkalemia in the setting of otherwise acceptable renal 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.
- Count of Participants by Severity of First Acute Cellular Rejection by Wk 52 Post-Transplant [ Time Frame: Transplantation through Week 52 ]Acute cellular rejection occurs when lesions at the site of the graft characteristically are infiltrated with large numbers of lymphocytes and macrophages that cause tissue damage. 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.
- Count of Participants With Antibody Mediated Rejection by Wk 52 Post-Transplant [ Time Frame: Transplantation through Week 52 ]Antibody mediated rejection is defined by diffusely positive staining for C4d, presence of circulating anti-donor antibodies, and morphologic evidence of acute tissue injury and was determined by local pathology.

Upon having a biopsy performed, persons often receive treatment for rejection based on the results of the biopsy, which may or may not have shown signs of rejection. Details of local biopsy findings are presented here for rejection. Acronyms and abbreviations are defined as follows:
- ACR= Acute T-Cell Mediated rejection
- AMR= Acute Antibody-mediated rejection
- Chr. AMR=Chronic Antibody Mediated Rejection
- Gd.=Grade
- IFTA=Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy
- Type of Treatment for Detected Graft Rejection [ Time Frame: Transplantation through Week 52 ]
Upon having a biopsy performed, persons often receive treatment for rejection based on the results of the biopsy, which may or may not have shown signs of rejection. Details of treatment are presented here for rejection. Acronyms and abbreviations are defined below.
ATG=Thymoglobulin
- Count of Participants With De Novo Anti-Donor Histocompatibility Antigen (HLA) Antibodies at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
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.

- A value below 6.0% reflects normal levels,
- 6.0% to 6.4% reflects prediabetes, and
- a value of ≥ 6.5% reflects diabetes.
- Standardized Blood Pressure Measurement at Wk 52 Post-Transplant [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
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.
